School Year Success Stories

Food Farm Program Highlights

The Food Farm Program gives students the opportunity to discover where their food comes from through hands-on learning with agriculture industry professionals. In 2026, 61 schools and 1,339 students participated in the spring Food Farm program, exploring topics like planting, food production, farm safety, seed identification, livestock, water management, and more. Through interactive experiences, students gained a deeper understanding of Saskatchewan agriculture and the journey from farm to table!

“AITC's Food Farm was a fun and engaging way for my students to learn about healthy soil, plants, and animals! The hands-on learning led by experts in the field really helped my students learn about food production and make connections between agriculture and how it impacts our daily lives.”


-Lorelei Kotylak, Balcarres Community School

Real Farms, Real Learning



AITC-SK provided 56 classrooms and 1,308 students with bus bursaries to visit a farm or ag business over the spring months. For many students, this was their very first time on a farm! Thank you UFA Agricultural Community Foundation for fueling the Farm & Ag Tour program.

"This field trip provided an exceptional hands-on learning experience for our students. The hosts were welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging, helping bring our classroom learning about dairy farming to life. Seeing the cows, calves, milking process, and milk storage firsthand created meaningful connections that our students will remember long after the visit. We are grateful for the opportunity and highly recommend this experience to other schools.” - Teacher, Regina School

"Thank you to Agriculture in the Classroom for providing a hands-on artistic opportunity for students to learn about soil horizons. The soil horizon keychain was an engaging and meaningful activity that helped students deepen their understanding of the different soil layers while creating a memorable keepsake.


Many students proudly attach it to their backpacks, where it serves as a conversation starter and a reminder of their learning."


- Shauna Matiko, Willowgrove School, Saskatoon

K-12 Classroom Experiences



AITC-SK was invited into 303 classrooms throughout the school year to deliver agricultural presentations on food production, food security, sustainability, careers, and more! Over 7,685 students across the province were engaged in learning about agriculture and the importance in our daily lives.

Thank YOU for another fantastic school year! As AITC-SK sponsors, partners, volunteers, and donors, you help make each agricultural experience possible. Together, we are cultivating a brighter and stronger future for Saskatchewan agriculture!
