The annual National Organic Conference will include two farm walks in one day.
Taking place in the Yorkshire Wolds on Wednesday 11th June 2025, visitors have the opportunity to learn from two leading organic farmers with 50 years of organic experience between them.
Starting at Carr House Farm in Driffield, Tim and Caroline Sellers, along with their daughters, Hester and Jessica, will showcase their 192-hectare organic farm and the Side Oven Bakery, which produces bread from wheat grown, milled and baked on site. Visitors can enjoy breakfast and a farm walk with insights into soil management both for health and for carbon, guidance on crop variety selection, and creating better marketing strategies with on-farm diversification.
The event will then move west to High Callis Wold at Stamford Bridge. After a locally sourced lunch, Mike and Kate Stringer will help guide visitors through their 345-hectare organic farm business with cropping and livestock enterprises, including suckler cows and breeding ewes. This second farm walk will be rounded off with an afternoon tea.
Steven Jacobs, the Organic Farmers & Growers (OF&G) business development manager and event coordinator, says the farm visits will allow visitors to see through the eyes of practicing organic farmers, sharing their experiences with people from across the food and farming sector.
“These are two fabulous and yet very different family-run farm businesses which both demonstrate how organic delivers a balanced food and farming system that can benefit everyone – the farmer, the shopper, and our planet,” says Mr Jacobs.
“We want the day to be all about chatting with likeminded individuals, from established organic to regen curious. We want everyone to come together on two of the UK’s most interesting and dynamic farms so we can share great stories, and great food.”
