Tentative Schedule

Produced for farmers, by farmers is the key ingredient to the continued success of the Hastings County Farm Show and Plowing Match. Established in 1989, the farmer run organization has grown from less than a dozen exhibits to over 250 exhibits of agricultural products and services.

Farmers throughout the province and beyond, have traveled to Hastings County to sample great hospitality while enjoying one of the largest outdoor agricultural events in eastern Ontario.
The two-day event is teaming with on-site equipment demonstrations, an ever-growing antique display, quality crafts, an interesting and fun family program, as well as tractor, antique tractor and horse plowing competitions. The recent addition of the woodlot management display at the Hastings County Farm Show is a show, within a show that includes a variety of related exhibitors and demonstrations.

All the committee chairpersons and volunteers invite everyone to celebrate their 20th year with them near Stirling, Ontario on Lysle View Farms, with our hosts, the Carlisle families.
