 2017 Maitland Show
PADDOCK TO PLATE
We are happy to present to you our
156th annual agricultural show as the
theme suggests we have gone back to
the good old days when you grew your
own vegetables and you drank milk
from the cow and ate from what you
grew in your vegie patch.
We are trying to educate our young
in how easy and satisfying it can be
to produce your own food sources
along with local home cooking
demonstrations on how to prepare and
cook easy simple healthy meals.
Children are invited to participate
in these demonstrations and are
encouraged on schoolies day to take
part in making fruit kebabs planting
their own sustainable plant to take
home as well as plenty of food tasting
for the adults.
The society has a passion to
encourage and promote knowledge of
all of these activities in our youth as
they are our next generation of farmers.
All of the old favourites are here
D Max driving team, animal nursery,
camel rides, hot rods and vintage
motorcycles, show bags, show rides
and lots of assorted of foods from
different cultures.
