Farms.com was pleased to support the University of Guelph’s annual College Royal which was held March 15th & 16th, 2025 – it was the 101st edition.

Every March, the University of Guelph hosts College Royal, the largest university open house event in North America. This annual campus-wide event attracts thousands of visitors, offering them a unique opportunity to explore the university’s facilities, engage with students and faculty, and experience the vibrant campus life. College Royal has become a highly anticipated tradition, drawing participants from near and far to enjoy a range of interactive activities and displays.

"This year saw the addition of a new event, Spotlight Sunday, which brought the arts to center stage with an exciting open mic night for Guelph students" says College Royal volunteer organizer Haley Lundy. "This free event invited performers of all kinds to showcase their talents in a fun and welcoming atmosphere."

The event showcased singers, musicians, poets, and comedians, there was a space for everyone in the spotlight.

Welcome to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show AgTech Breakfast. This annual Ontario outdoor farm show has always been a place where innovation thrives.

The AgTech Breakfast takes place every September to create a space where farmers and representatives from startup companies can meet and discuss innovations that bring new options to the agriculture industry. This is a great opportunity for attendees of this event to see what’s new.

At the AgTech Breakfast, attendees hear from a panel of companies, followed by a casual discussion session where farmers and representatives from startup companies can discuss new technology related to farming and share opportunities and challenges that impact Canadian agriculture.
