The clock continues to count down to the 2022 Norco PRIMEX Field Days, it is now three weeks away so mark down November 10, 11 and 12 on your calendars.

PRIMEX aims to showcase the entire Paddock to Plate experience at one of the largest consumer events in years.

The food experience at Primex builds brand and product awareness for local producers like Two Mates and Junkyard BBQ as well as sampling and selling their products to thousands of visitors amongst the growing network of farmers, producers, chefs, and food lovers that proudly promote the diversity and richness of our Northern Rivers’ food bowl.

The program is designed to offer a complete supply chain experience where farmers and foodies meet, see, taste, and share a variety of our special food experiences.

Launching at Norco Primex 2022! Nourish Food Fest will take place in a newly created outdoor space under a big food festival marquee, creating a true food festival ambience right in the heart of Primex. This is where visitors will have the opportunity to buy, taste and share local food and drinks.

Appearing at Paddock to Plate: Darren Robertson of Three Blue Ducks, The Farm Byron Bay, will take to the stage on Thursday 10 November “People’s Day”. 

On Friday, it is time to welcome Mindy Woods to the Paddock to Plate stage and finally, Saturday visitors will enjoy the company of the vivacious wellness guru, Samantha Gowing.

Before nutrition became trendy, before kale became the superfood superstar, and before the green juice Instagram selfie was ever a ‘thing’, there was Sam Gowing, spreading the word on healthy cuisine and all that it encompasses. 

The Chef hat-winning restaurateur, who traded her fast-paced city career to follow her passion for health and wellbeing, retrained as a clinical nutritionist and received her Master’s degree in Gastronomic Tourism from the prestigious, Le Cordon Bleu. 

Combining these skills with her already celebrated cooking talents, Sam has established herself as Australia’s leading spa chef, kick-starting the ‘food as medicine’ movement, which has since snowballed into a widely embraced philosophy. 

Today, Sam continues to create contemporary culinary masterpieces, designed to tantalize the taste buds as well as heal the body and nourish the soul. 

Samantha is the Australian Ambassador for Consorcio Jamon Serrano, an association of Spanish business that represents the leading brands of Serrano Ham, and is the consulting Wellness Chef to Club Med Asia Pacific.

In addition, Sam teaches online, presenting Gastronomy & Nutrition with Le Cordon Bleu London attracting a worldwide cohort each course.

Her Byron Bay based global wellness company Gowings Food Health Wealth creates culinary programs for luxury hotels, spas and health retreats worldwide.

FHW offers dynamic wellness business solutions that help food and health entrepreneurs create successful and sustainable businesses. She is the self-published author of The Healing Feeling, and writes prolifically on the future of food, food trends and the cult of the green smoothie. Even MasterChef’s Matt Preston is a fan. “She is a front of wisdom when it comes to tasty, healthy eating,” he said.

Norco PRIMEX Field Days are happening at the Richmond Valley Events Centre, Cassino Drive, Casino on Thursday November 10, Friday November 11 and Saturday November 12.
