SMALL FARM FIELD DAY
Small Farm Field Day
The next “Countryman Gidgegannup Small Farm Field Day” will be held at the Gidgegannup Showgrounds on Sunday 30 May 2027.
A great day full of information and fun for everyone. Come along and enjoy the day in the fabulous setting of Gidgegannup just 15 minutes from Midland.
Our 2026 event had a cool start to the day, but it warmed up fairly quickly and we had fine dry weather with great attendance throughout the day. All areas were busy. The back paddock was jumping in the Cafe / Entertainment area with a new musician and the most anazing singing, plus great interest in the agricultural machinery. The Honey Festival had an excellent day. The New Wine and Food Marquee looked so good we might do it again. Came out looking like a Parisian Bistro.
In all, an amazing day and well worth all the effort put in to it. A huge thank you to all our volunteers who made it the fantastic day it was.
Gidgegannup is a great community which holds two main events a year. The Gidgegannup Small Farm Field Day is on the last Sunday of May each year (unless it is a long weekend) and the Gidgegannup Agricultural Show, which is held on the last Saturday of October each year. As the advertising for the Show starts in May this can cause some confusion. If you are an exhibitor or stallholder, please ensure you are clear which event you are applying for as this makes life simpler for everyone. If you have feedback or suggestions on this please do let us know as we appreciate all input.

“Thank you to all for your support to our last event – we look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
The Field Day Committee”
Countryman Gidgegannup Small Farm Field Day is the place where those living and working on small farms in the agricultural sector can come together at the one time to view and compare from a selection of products and services designed for efficient farming and rural practices. Also for those who want to see if this is the life they would like and have some fun finding out.
The impressive Wadumbah Dance Group performed at the 2026 Small Farm Field Day.
Some of our previous events history is shown in the information and photos below:
Madjitil Moorna Choir
This is a recent photo of the Madjitil Moorna choir with George Walley leading from the mandolin.
The occasion above was the commemoration of Yaburgurt (George) Winjan, a significant figure in Mandurah during early colonisation, on the 100th anniversary of his death.
Mad Tatters Morris Dancers
Mad Tatters Morris Dancers are women & men who perform traditional & vigorous dances from English villages along the Welsh border. Dressed in colourful “tatter coats”, we dance with sticks & bells accompanied by musicians playing melodeons, whistle & drum. It’s like bush dancing, but much more fun!

Bee Gardening With Matthew Lunn
After last year’s successful gardening experience for the family with “Potting Paradise”, this year join Matthew Lunn for another potting experience as the kids learn all about bees in the garden and learn how to create a bee garden and what bees see, smell and how they make honey.
Matthew is a familiar radio gardening personality within the community, as he can be heard on Curtin Fm 100.1 every Saturday morning presenting “Let’s Talk Gardening”. This he has done for 14 years.
Living locally with his family in Mount Helena he first came involved with the SFFD last year and quickly turned “Potting Paradise” into a friendly family hands-on experience where children and parents could pot away and learn all about making plants grow. It was a planting success with many coloufully painted pots leaving the show.
This year Matthew wants to combine his love of bee keeping with plants and show how both are important in our everyday lives as well as showing that bees are far more friendly than their sting makes them be.
So BEE inspired and learn all about bees with Matthew.
