To be held on Saturday, September 14 in the gardens of B&W Rural, the event complements the Moree on a Plate Festival held each May and aims to further promote the region's produce.

Tickets go on sale this Sunday, August 4, at 10am via www.trybooking.com/BDZMB, and with the event selling out in minutes last year, organisers suggest striking fast.

Organiser Ros Van Dongen advised potential party-goers to be organised and ready to purchase at 10am.

However a larger number of tickets available this year, plus an online waiting list, should avoid any disappointment.

Narrabri's Treen White of Relish Catering will deliver a five-course menu showcasing mouth-watering fresh fare from across the region.

Live music will also add to the relaxed atmosphere of the day.

And with the Moree region a prime wheat growing centre, this year the Manildra Group has generously sponsored the Moree on a Plate Long Lunch.

"From wheat to pecan nut trees, our region is blessed with fertile soils and passionate producers and we are ideally placed as a leader on the regional fresh produce map," Ros said.

"We are extremely grateful to Manildra for recognising our strength as an agricultural production powerhouse, and generously supporting our Moree on a Plate Long Lunch."

"This lunch is an opportunity to celebrate and showcase our wonderful industry in a relaxed, informal setting and perfectly complements the annual Moree on a Plate Festival held each May."

She said the event, now in its seventh year, was an opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy a day out before the busy Spring festive season inevitably kicks into gear.

"It's also an opportunity to recognise and thank our other generous sponsors and to further promote the fabulous variety of local produce on offer in the North West," she said.

Be it young or old, couple or single, male or female, Ros said the event was something the whole community could appreciate.
