The Parkes Potters at the last Homegrown Parkes event.
Homegrown Parkes is back for 2025, providing an opportunity for visitors and locals to fill their Saturday in Parkes with plenty of good food and local produce next Saturday, 29 March between 9am and 2pm in Cooke Park.
Homegrown Parkes provides an opportunity for local and regional businesses who are processing, repurposing, sewing, propagating or producing fabulous local products to share their skill and products with the community.
Demonstrations will again be one of the highlights of the 2025 events, highlighting processes for using locally produced food and products, with the aim of encouraging locals to grow produce in their own backyard.
The Homegrown Parkes Committee consists of members of Central West Lachlan Landcare, Parkes Community Arts and Parkes Shire Council.
