Winnipeg, MB – Agriculture in the Classroom–Manitoba (AITC-M) is pleased to announce the return of Amazing Agriculture Adventure (AAA), taking place September 22–25, 2026, at the Bruce D. Campbell Farm & Food Discovery Centre.

This multi-day, interactive program gives Manitoba students the opportunity to experience agriculture firsthand through hands-on, curriculum-connected learning.

This year, 1,100 students from 41 classrooms will participate in Amazing Agriculture Adventure, engaging in activities designed to spark curiosity, build agricultural literacy and create meaningful connections to Manitoba’s agriculture and food sector.

“Amazing Agriculture Adventure brings agriculture to life through hands-on experiences, helping students discover where their food comes from and explore opportunities in agriculture.” says Bianca Byers, Program Coordinator.

Hands-On Learning Through Real-World Connections

Throughout Amazing Agriculture Adventure, students rotate through interactive stations led by people working across Manitoba’s agriculture and food sector. These experiences give students the opportunity to ask questions, explore agricultural concepts firsthand and learn directly from those working in the industry.

“Agriculture is at the heart of Manitoba and helping students understand its impact is an investment in our future. Amazing Agriculture Adventure gives students a firsthand look at the people, innovation and opportunities shaping agriculture,” says Christine Kulas, Senior Manager – Programs, Partnerships & Events.

Exploring Careers in Agriculture and Food

Amazing Agriculture Adventure introduces students to the diverse careers that support Manitoba’s agriculture and food sector. Through hands-on activities and conversations with industry professionals, students explore pathways in trades, science, technology, business, animal care, food and more.
