EDUCATION
1 in 5 children aged between 5 to 11 years think cheese comes from a plant, pasta grows on trees and it takes ten years to grow a carrot!
1 in 10 adults believe tofu is a type of mushroom and that bacon comes from a cow.
We have a series of hands-on, practical Farming Challenges, FREE for children and adults to learn where food comes from and how it is produced.

FARMING CAREERS
Modern day farming is an exciting global industry using cutting edge technology.
The farming industry needs 60,000 new people to work in the sector within the next ten years, as the average age of a farmer is now 59. The variety of job opportunities is immense, with average salaries exceeding the national average, and you don’t need to come from a farming background.

SHOWS & EVENTS
Our charity, Newark and Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society, depends upon the many events taking place at the Newark Showground for our income.
Children under 17 all have FREE entry to the Nottinghamshire County Show, Vintage Tractor & Heritage Show and Midlands Machinery Show. Three annual shows hosted by our charity, to celebrate farming.
