The Jamaica Agricultural Society (JAS), in its organization of the annual Denbigh Agricultural and Industrial Show, decided that the show would not be complete without a “spark of elegance” or adornment of a Farm Queen. And so, by 1963, ten years after the first show was held on a picturesque showground at Denbigh, the organizing committee held a competition to choose a National Farm Queen.
The National Farm Queen Competition has been an integral part of the Annual Denbigh Agricultural & Industrial Show, culminating in the selection of the National Farm Queen and her runners-up during the three (3) day event.
