Discover Agriculture in the City this weekend

Manitoba students will have an opportunity to Discover Agriculture in the City this weekend.

On Saturday, The Forks Market will be transformed into a free hands-on learning event celebrating where our food comes from and the people that help get it to our tables.

The annual Discover Agriculture in the City event showcases the best of Manitoba agriculture and the agri-food sector. 

The event kicks off at 9:00 am on the second floor of The Forks Market with a wide range of interactive exhibits on display and the opportunity to meet Manitoba farmers until 3:00 pm.

Hands-on displays include the opportunity to plant and take home a strawberry plant, crush made-in-Manitoba canola, create a living seed necklace, and taste some of Manitoba’s homegrown foods.
