Manitoba and the federal government are marking the 12th annual Farm and Food Awareness Week, running through September 25th.

This year’s theme is “Community and Agriculture: Growing Together,” highlighting the connection between Manitoba communities and the people who grow and produce their food.

A free, family-friendly Discover Agriculture on the Farm event was held Sunday at the Bruce D. Campbell Farm and Food Discovery Centre.

Local Food Day will also be recognized Wednesday, celebrating Manitoba farmers, local ingredients and the role local food plays in supporting families and communities.

Throughout the week, Manitoba Agriculture will share videos and resources online.
