Know farms, Know food”
Exploring Sustainable Living

June 8th to 19th

We are what we eat... but what is it we are eating?
Do you know how the food that you eat was produced?  Does it matter?

Join us us at the Museum to explore sustainable farming in Nova Scotia and learn about the role farmers play in keeping Nova Scotia’s environment healthy. Play the AGame to test your knowledge about how farmers protect the soil, water, air and biodiversity on their farms. Meet some hard-working insects that help protect greenhouse crops and take home your own sunlight conversion unit (a food plant!)

There are 9 exhibitors and lots of activity stations  to explore and enjoy.

Meet and learn from the people who are working to put high quality food into the marketplace. Join us and discover the new face of agriculture!
