Visitors will have the opportunity to learn, taste, touch, smell and experience the region's finest food and wine first hand at Henty Machinery Field Day's Farm Gate Produce Market.
The market has grown into a key attraction at the field days, which will be held on Tuesday, September 17 to Thursday, September 19.
Featuring almost 30 regional exhibitors, the Farm Gate pavilion is located on the southern edge of the field day site and will host cooking demonstrations, and talks by food presenters.
These will include tips on pie making with entrepreneur Kate Wendt, and recipes using the new superfood, lupins, from Lupins for Life, breakfast creations from Brushwoods, and explore Italian, French and Australian sparkling wines with Cofield Wines.
There will be plenty of tips and advice from micro flower farmer Sophie Kurylowicz from Little Triffids.
Adding to the atmosphere will be talented regional musicians, Happy Hour.
Farm Gate co-ordinator Ordette Mannering, Albury, is excited about taking part in an event that celebrates this region and its produce.
Ms Mannering said Farm Gate was a growth area of Henty and showcased the fruits of the labours of those working the land.
She said Farm Gate was about showcasing local product and businesses.
Ranging from wines and spirits to preserves, condiments, smoked smallgoods, pastries, raw honey, artisan breads, herbal teas, handmade pies and gourmet coffee, the market caters for produce primarily grown and value added in southern NSW and Victoria's north-east.
New for this year is Natura's Artisan Ice Creams with gluten, dairy-free, vegan and hal hal among the 60 flavours produced.
"There will also be plenty of food vendors selling healthy options,'' Ms Mannering said.
There will a hamper draw of gourmet produce from Farm Gate exhibitors drawn at 2pm each day.
