Why Farmer on Your Plate matters
Many people enjoy food every day without seeing the work, skill, resilience and care that goes into producing it. Farmer On Your Plate helps close that gap. The event is designed to strengthen the connection between consumers and farming families by creating a direct, positive and practical way for people to learn about agriculture, food production and the people behind local produce.
It is about more than one day. It is about building understanding, respect and support for the farming communities that help sustain Western Australia.
For families and visitors
Looking for a free family day out in Perth that is meaningful, educational and fun? Farmer On Your Plate is designed for people of all ages. Children can learn where food comes from, families can meet farmers and producers, and visitors can discover more about the role agriculture plays in everyday life.
Come along, ask questions, enjoy the atmosphere and celebrate the people who help put food on our plates.
For exhibitors
Are you a farmer, producer, grower, maker, agribusiness, food business, industry body or community organisation with a connection to Western Australian agriculture?
