All roads lead to Lucindale
VISITORS will have the opportunity to celebrate the diversity of the Limestone Coast region at this year’s South East Field Days.
The field days, South Australia’s premier two-day agricultural event, will be held at Yakka Park, Lucindale, on March 21 and 22.
This year heralds the 45th year that the event has been running.
Once again organisers have put together an exciting two days, crammed with exciting attractions and lots of crowd favourites.
With more than 500 exhibitors, the focus is again on showcasing the latest in agricultural products, services and equipment.
Entertainment options for young and old are also on the program, as well as a multitude of food and locally sourced wines.
Why not meet up with friends for a delicious lunch at one of the many food courts available on site?
Don’t forget the two huge general interest pavilions where you will find all sorts of things to tempt you, including craft, clothing, wine tasting and specialty food.
Among the special guests will be author and television/radio personality, Sophie Thomson.
Thomson is a presenter on ABC’s Gardening Australia and an ABC radio talk back host with extensive media experience.
She writes for major newspapers and magazines and has also written several books on gardening.
Another special guest for 2025 is Alison Meagher; a passionate advocate for Australian produce with a career that spans both national and international stages.
Hailing from country Victoria but globally trained, Alison grew up on a small Black Angus farm which ignited her love for the food industry.
The live butchery demonstrations throughout this two-day event will captivate attendees, with a focus on the ‘Nose to Tail’ philosophy, enlightening attendees towards sustainable eating habits with a fun and light-hearted delivery.
In the AgeTech Pavilion visitors will find another special guest, Todd Price (Nutrien Ag Solutions’ Sustainability Field Manager servicing South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania).
An agronomist by trade, Todd’s role is to educate growers about all facets of sustainability, help quantify and measure the growers’ emissions profile, and offer profitable and productive emission reduction solutions.
Todd is a facilitator of the Melbourne University carbon neutral agriculture course and is managing Nutrien’s low carbon canola, potato and dairy programs.
Other attractions at this year’s South East Field Days include Rob’s Carriage Rides, Adelaide Balloon Man, Old MacDonald’s farm, Randy’s Junk Yard Action Show (motorcross stunts) and Burrungle Park Laser Tag.
Leah Briggs and the South Australian Police Jazz Band will also keep audiences entertained with live music across the two days.
With so much to see and do at the field days, this is one event you don’t want to miss.
Tickets for the field days can be purchased at the gate for $20.
Children under the age of 16 years will be admitted free, while entry for concession card holders is just $10.
