Ever wondered if you could improve your Fall Fair vegetable exhibits?

If you have, take a look at a new 'Exhibit Standards' guide on the Ag Society website. Hopefully you will find some tips to help your exhibits stand out among the crowd!

Horses are arriving and the coffee is hot for the first Cochrane Polar Horse Riders horse show of 2026 here at the Cochrane Fair Grounds.

There will be plenty of horse racing today in youth and open categories. Come on over and check out the barrel racing, pole bending, flag racing, and a 'youth dash for cash'!!

Well maybe not a crop after all. Look at that new fencing!

What's going on here? Why are the fair grounds tilled up, is a small demonstration crop of some kind going in?

With the snows finally melting it's time to start thinking about working on your vegetable garden!

If you don't have a garden then a great alternative would be to support your local agricultural businesses and farmers markets this summer. Visit the Ontario Federation of Agriculture 'Buy Local' page where you can find guides to many of Ontario's food and drink producers, farmers markets, and more...

Supporting local has always been a key part of our agriculture and food production system, and many people ask us how to find Ontario or Canadian products

Attention all quilters, it's time to start working on your entry for the Cochrane Agricultural Society's 2026 Fall Fair Quilt Block competition!

With Ontario Northland's Northlander train returning this year, ONR colours were the top choice for this year's competition. Perhaps someone will submit a railway inspired entry...

Pick up your quilt block package (three fabrics and a copy of the rules) from NeedleWorks Studio Canada today!

Congratulations to Patsy Cote on reaching the provincial level in the 2025 Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) hand quilt competition held during last month's convention!! 👍

While her quilt didn't place it is still an impressive result! Here is her quilt (top right with the wording) on display along with some of the other top quilts from around the province.
