Canada’s Agriculture Day was formally announced on June 1, 2016 with the inaugural celebration set for February 16, 2017. Since 2017, AgScape has been pleased to celebrate this important day honouring Canadian farmers and food producers through recognition and various initiatives.
🧑🌾 In 2020, we partnered with Farm and Food Care Ontario (
@farmfoodcareon) for “A Day in the Life of Our Farming & Food Heroes” where we heard from a sheep farmer (
@circlerlamb), Nature Fresh Farms tomato growers (
@nature_fresh), a pig farmer (
@ontariopork), Hensall Co-op grain farmers (
@HDCFeed), and a beekeeper.
🐓 In 2023, we launched “Meat & Poultry Processing in Ontario,” a Teacher’s Guide for grades 7-12 developed with Meat & Poultry Ontario (
@MeatPoultryON).
🐄 In 2024, we hosted a Virtual Field Trip at Gay Lea Dairy Museum (
@dairymuseum).
🌱 In 2025, we hosted a Virtual Field Trip at Just Vertical, a hydroponic farm (
@justvertical).
This year, we are excited to launch our Growing into Tomorrow: Canada's Agriculture Day Challenge for grades 1-4 students to explore agriculture and food literacy by discovering where their food comes from with our new From Seed to Salad Teacher Resource.
