This exhibit is a quality selection of from 4 to 10 different kinds and/or varieties of mature fruit and/or vegetables. Amounts of fruit and vegetables in this exhibit should be such that they can be arranged in a neat and orderly manner and have good eye appeal. There must be enough of each fruit or vegetable for the judge to determine quality. Only one exhibit allowed in each class per individual.
All fruits and vegetables exhibited must be grown by the exhibitor and must be a product of their own Supervised Agricultural Experience program. No specimens in this exhibit may be entered in another class. Any combination of fruits and vegetables may be used. Those not listed in the catalog may be included. The exhibit must be in a basket no longer than 18 inches. It may be covered with a clear plastic cover but judges must be able to handle produce to determine quality. One-third (1/3) of the judging will be on how well the exhibit is prepared and presented. Packing such as paper, straw or cloth may be used, but the fruits and vegetables should be the main attraction of the exhibit. All edible horticulture exhibits will be donated to an area food bank or other charitable group is possible, and may not be displayed based on the decision of the superintendent.
