On Sunday, March 15, Outlet Collection Winnipeg will once again host Discover Agriculture in the City, a free event celebrating local food, local farms, and the people who bring it all to our tables.

Did you know that Canada’s agriculture and agri-food system generated $149.2 billion (around 7%) of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024 and employs 2.3 million people, providing 1 in 9 jobs in Canada? Manitoba’s agriculture and agri-food sector generates $18.7 billion in sales, employing over 34,000 people in Manitoba.

Discover Agriculture in the City is an annual showcase of the best of Manitoba agriculture and the agri-food sector. This year, you can find MBP and many other exhibitors in the southwest corner of the mall, near Under Armour.

The free event kicks off at 11:00 am with a range of interactive exhibits and the opportunity to meet Manitoba farmers until 6:00 pm. Don’t miss our photobooth and face painters in the afternoon from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Hands-on displays include spinning the Wheel of Chicken, playing some agriculture trivia or taking your photo with Clover, a life-sized fiberglass and recycled plastics cow simulator used to teach young people about calving.

At 11:00 am, the University of Manitoba Food Fight will showcase innovative food products developed by students, who will pitch their creations to a panel of expert judges.

Throughout the day, Manitoba farm advocacy and research groups will be on hand to share fascinating agricultural facts, exciting giveaways, and delicious recipes featuring locally sourced Manitoba ingredients. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about where your food comes from and the massive benefit that Manitoba agriculture provides to our economy.
