Join us for a virtual Ag-Venture
Agriculture for Life presents our Virtual Farm and Food Tour, a monthly interactive and live educational experience for students. Each month we will feature a guest speaker from a local farm or agrifood processing facility to tell us the story of Alberta agriculture.
Our special guests will take classrooms behind the scenes of agriculture to show us where our food comes from! Both teachers and students will be able to experience agriculture right in the classroom through our monthly event.
The program is tailored for students in grades
5 to 8 but any grades are welcome to join.
This tour has already taken place. Please check back again soon for information on our next tour that's taking place in April!

Rocky Mountain Equipment
To kick off this season's Virtual Farm and Food Tours, we were joined by RME, one of the biggest agriculture equipment dealerships in Canada.
Our RME guest taught us how these machines work and how they help producers from seeding to harvest —students got to learn all about simple machines, energy, structures and forces by getting a behind-the-scenes look at RME’s agriculture equipment!
