Featured Events

Agricultural/Farming Events are incredibly important to our farming industry today. Though they have been around for many, many years the events as we know them started as informal meet ups for those in rural areas to learn new skills, often pertaining to the care and rearing of animals, cooking, or craft. Meetings were mostly thrown in randomly available to use field spaces, that is until agricultural societies took ground and purchased land to be specifically used.

So, while the agricultural shows we have today still take their roots from many of the practices in which they originated from, they have also greatly evolved with the times.

The shows/events spread awareness, boosts interest in local food and farming and importantly helps those who work in the industry become more integrated into the community and even a little further to the surrounding urban areas.

Not only this but events that target business to business specifically are an integral way to network, and boost business and trade within the industry.

Below you will find many varied businesses, all of whom have attended/still attend these featured events in order to support their business as well as other attending businesses.

Auld Scotia Cottage Crafts

As the saying goes… when one door closes another opens!  Life threw a curve ball and I found myself disabled and having to re-evaluate my working life, no longer could I sit in front of a computer screen all day.  My creative side has been allowed to flourish and the grit being my limitations and disability has grown into a lovely pearl that is Auld Scotia Cottage Crafts.

No dyes are used either, instead textiles are cut into smaller pieces which are then shredded until a sort of dust is formed.
