September 12 & 13, 2024

The grade three Agricultural Education program is an initiative of the Port Hope and District Agricultural Society. The program was initiated in 2007 as a one day program being offered to Port Hope area schools. Due to its popularity the program was offered to a wider range of schools within Northumberland County and expanded to two days in 2023.
During the two hour session children are introduced to a wide variety of agricultural topics, through live demonstrations and hands-on activities. Classes will rotate through a variety of stations spending 10-15 minutes at each.
Most of the demonstrators are volunteers involved with agriculture within Northumberland County.
Generous sponsorships have supported this program. The Neil Hannah Memorial Fund, TD Canada Trust, Cobourg City Dairy and Moore Orchards.
Parking is available onsite for buses and parent volunteers.
