Agriculture Adventure Days hit the Eastlink Centre Tuesday as students from local schools came to learn about the importance of farming.
With booths representing 12 different agricultural commodities, businesses and local farms, as well as animals on display, the event brought the farm to the city.

Across the country, expos like this are taking place as part of Canadian Agricultural Literacy Month.
"This is the first ever agriculture adventure days here on P.E.I.," said Rayanne Frizzell, national co-ordinator of Canadian Agricultural Literacy Month.
"It's an expanded version of what our agricultural awareness committee has done in the past, but this is a great opportunity for students to come in and visit different stations and learn about agriculture."
