Open Farm Sunday comes to Gisburn Aberdeen-Angus herd

This weekend brings Open Farm Sunday, a national initiative allowing members of the public to explore participating farms in their area and learn about farming and this year, farm visitors in the Gisburn area will be able to visit an Aberdeen-Angus breeder.

Henry Rowntree farms at Windy Pike Farm, Gisburn, and will host a farm walk from noon to 3 p.m. looking at his Ribble Aberdeen-Angus herd in beautiful countryside. Conservation work is very important at Windy Pike and Henry will show visitors how nature conservation can go hand-in-hand with running a successful working farm.

The event will be signposted from the A59 at Gisburn – turn at the Auction Mart to Bolton-by-Bowland, go over the river, turn first right and Windy Pike is the first farm on the right.
