“From mainstream livestock and arable farming to food and drink production, country crafts and rural industry, education and machinery - it’s all at Perth Show and everyone has happy memories associated with the event.”
He continued: “This is a farming show and it’s important that we use it as a shop window for everything rural and agricultural. It’s also the two days of the year that farmers are willing to take away from their work and meet up to socialise and perhaps do a bit of business before we turn our attention to harvest and stock sales.”
And with the return of the popular Perthshire on a Plate food tent, the farm to fork journey will be apparent to all visitors at this year’s show.
Perth Show literally takes visitors from the field to the plate
A number of top chefs from across Perth and Kinross, including celebrity chefs Paul Rankin and Jak O’Donnell, will be taking to the stage with cookery demonstrations and tastings.
John said this will be educational to families across the region: “Many people don’t realise the vital link between agriculture and the food for their families.
“Perth Show literally takes visitors through the process from the field to the plate, letting people see how we rear and grow, process and create and finally refine livestock and crops to become the meal they all enjoy.” * Page 17 - honour for Jimmy
