Past Seasons of The Great Canadian Farm Tour

GCFT

Over 700 000+ student experiences at 42 virtual farm tours total

On these tours, we travelled coast-to-coast to visit farms in each province alongside our provincial member organizations. Students were able to LEARN about Canada’s exciting agriculture and food story, CONNECT and interact virtually with real farmers, and EXPERIENCE what it’s like on farms across the country.

If you missed the last three seasons of The Great Canadian Farm Tour, don’t worry! We’ve created online resource sets that include extension activities and every tour in both English and French!
