Pet cows, marvel at the technology, breathe in the fresh country air: This weekend, farmers across the country are opening their barns and stables to the public.

During "Open Farm Day" this weekend, many farms across the country are offering a glimpse into their work. The official opening of the event was celebrated on Friday in Wittichenau (Bautzen district). "Open Farm Day" is a great opportunity to experience how food is produced, said Stefanie Sabet, Secretary General of the German Farmers’ Association. It brings people together in conversation and builds trust because it allows people to experience agriculture up close, added Saxony’s Minister of Agriculture, Georg-Ludwig von Breitenbuch (CDU).
