Bring agriculture to life in your classroom every March with Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM). Receive an in-class visit from a farmer or agriculture professional, a hands-on agriculture activity and an agriculture themed book for your classroom. Your students will build stronger connections to the food they eat and develop a deeper appreciation for the role agriculture plays in their lives — at the same time engaging with curricular outcomes. 

Who: Grade 2, 3 and 4 students (Outside these grades? Check out our other programs and resources.)
When: March 2027
Where: Your classroom
How: We match you with a volunteer and you arrange a date and time with your volunteer in March for your presentation
Time: 60 minutes
Cost: Free

Registration is CLOSED! Teacher registration will open for the 2027 progam in late Fall 2026.

*If your classroom is located in a remote location where there are no volunteers available for an in-person visit, we will arrange a virtual visit for you.

*Les visites virtuelles de bénévoles francophones sont disponibles mais ne sont pas garanties (selon la disponibilité des bénévoles).

*We can match volunteer presentations to home school associations but not individual families.

I have taken for granted that kids know about agriculture just because my family and I do. This program is essential!

My students were fully engaged. They asked a million questions and our volunteer was more than happy to answer.
