From field to plate — Otipua Hall’s Harvest Day will allow the public to watch harvested wheat being made into scones.
Spokeswoman Lorraine Willetts said while organising the upcoming fundraiser the committee looked at what people were good at and worked from there.
That allowed collaborations between people, she said.
The main organiser of the event — Daniel Crossen — was a traction engine enthusiast.
As well as offering traction engine rides, Mr Crossen would be firing up a wheat thrasher and thrashing some preharvested sheaves of wheat.
Then — with another machine — he would grind it.
When the flour had been processed, another community member would step in to make scones on the girdle.
The nearby St Mark’s Church — now privately owned —would be open for the event for the public to look through, and Devonshire teas would also be served.
She encouraged the public to bring gold coins and small notes so they could enjoy everything on offer, including Gama Goat rides, a Clydesdale horse display and a toffee apple stand.
The event will be held on Sunday at the Otipua Hall in High St between 11am and 2.30pm.
Free entry for those under 15 years old.
