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.

In fact, the province produces roughly 50% of all flowers grown in the country, serving a market of over 100 million consumers within a one-day drive.

It’s a powerful example of how strategic location, cross-border access, and strong production capacity come together to support both local agriculture and global markets ??

?? Watch as Andrew Morse, Executive Director of Flowers Canada, shares insights and the full story behind Ontario’s tulip industry and its thriving flower sector.
