Farmer on Your Plate festival draws crowds to Fremantle

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 14:32 · Archive

The annual Farmer on Your Plate festival brought families to Fremantle Esplanade Park on Saturday for a day of free farm activities. With face paint and ice creams in hand, children got close to farm life through pony rides, barrel tossing, cow milking and sheep shearing. Line dancing emerged as one of the biggest hits of the afternoon, attracting locals of all ages.

Pernille Loughton attended with her granddaughters Layla Hogan, aged 5, and Allira Hogan, aged 7. 'We like to support local things and I mean it's all free, so it's a lovely day out with the kids,' she said. 'Anywhere you go, you've got to pay for it. Here it's free, which I think is really good.' The girls' highlight was milking the cow and getting face paint.

Kale Wells discovered the festival while spending the day in Fremantle with his three-year-old daughter, Pia. 'It's a nice thing to do on the weekend,' he said. 'Cow milking has been her favourite, along with the barrel toss and pony ride. And it's all for free, which is nice these days.' For visitors, the free admission was a key draw alongside the hands-on farm experiences.
