The Serpentine Jarrahdale Food and Farm Alliance Inc (SJFFA) is very pleased to be able to hold the first Ag Show in the Shire for many decades. It is being held at the Serpentine Horse and Pony Club on Karnup Road in Serpentine and has gained the support of the broader community.
This years Food and Farm Fest will be celebrating the International Year of Fruit and Vegetables with a Harvest Fair and a variety of showcases of locally produced food. There will be highlights on honey, apples and pumpkins and the whole SJ Farmers Market is coming to the event so you can see and buy the autumnal bounty of our area.
Guest speakers will provide great information on organic gardening and farming, honey, food science and why you should eat local food, ripened naturally and sold fresh. There will also be a great presentation on SJ’s invented and produced ‘cockatubes’ which are providing much needed nesting alternatives for these precious species.
Kids and teenagers 16 and under can have a great time in the HUGE Bendigo Bank Kids and Youth Zone with terrific interactive activities. And all these young people can enter the whole show for FREE.
The young at heart but Over 80s also can enter the whole show for FREE!
Equestrian fans will be enthralled by a Horses in Action competition hosted by Serpentine Horse and Pony Club and a Southside Jump Club Show Jumping competition.
Animal lovers will be excited to see a range including a big poultry show, Alpaca competition, miniature goats and sheep, donkeys and cavies (guinea pigs).
Other exhibits will feature activities such as a farrier, cadet fire fighters showing their skills, Treecare WA demonstrating tree care activities, bushfire ready displays and information and many others as more and more people and groups join the excitement.
A large contingent and array of food trucks will satisfy the taste buds for lunch and snacks and many, many general stalls will engage your curiosities about what products and services are available in our community.
