Set in the heart of the 11,000-acre Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, Home Farm is one of the UK’s largest lowland organic farms — and on Sunday 8 June, we’re opening our gates for Open Farm Sunday, the nation’s annual celebration of farming.

This is a rare chance to see behind the scenes of our pioneering, self-sustaining organic farm, which has been nurtured by the Dukes of Richmond for over 300 years. From heritage breeds of cattle, sheep and pigs to state-of-the-art, robot technology, the day will showcase the balance of tradition and innovation that defines Home Farm.

Visitors can enjoy:

· Sheep shearing demonstrations and thrilling sheepdog trials

· Tractor and trailer rides through our working fields

· Woodland walks with interactive activities from the Goodwood Education Trust

· A chance to meet the farmers, explore the machinery, and learn how we care for the land and our livestock

· The opportunity to purchase our award-winning organic produce, including our four artisan cheeses, directly from the Goodwood Farm Shop stall.

Farm Manager Harry Holt said: “At Home Farm, every decision we make is guided by a deep respect for nature. From the health of our soil to the welfare of our animals, our commitment to sustainable and organic principles is unwavering. Open Farm Sunday is our opportunity to share that passion with the community and show how delicious, ethical food starts from the ground up.”

With 21,000 litres of organic milk produced each week and transformed into award-winning cheese just a few yards away, and pork, lamb and beef expertly prepared from animals born and reared on the Estate, Goodwood’s farm-to-fork philosophy is at the heart of everything we do.

Roy MacAskill, Goodwood’s Food Production & Distribution Manager, added: “Visitors often tell us they can taste the difference in Goodwood produce — and it’s true. Our meat, milk and cheese are all the result of low-impact, high-welfare farming done properly. There’s real pride in every product we sell.”

Whether you’re a foodie, a nature lover, or simply curious about where your food comes from, Open Farm Sunday at Goodwood Home Farm promises a memorable day out for the whole family.
