Farms will open their gates in a national scheme aimed at showing people how their food is produced.

As part of Open Farm Sunday, Little Tawney Hall farm in Tawney Lane, Stapleford Tawney, will open for visitors on June 9 to meet its beef and dairy cattle and sheep, as well as take part in tractor and trailer rides and a guided tour.

Lee Valley Park Farm in Stubbins Hall Lane, Waltham Abbey, will also be open for the day, which is co-ordinated by the charity Linking Environment and Farming.
