Royal Visitors Being Offered Amazing Food Journey

One of the main exhibits at this year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is called the Amazing Food Journey.

It's designed to take visitors through the farm to fork journey - showing how food products are grown, processed and ultimately delivered to consumers.

The Royal's Stephanie Phillips says it includes displays on soils, seed planting and an interactive display about the importance of bees.

It also connects visitors to the various commodity group education centres by pointing them to the experts for questions which may come up during the tour of the exhibit.

Research suggests one of the main reasons many people come to the Royal is to see the animals.

This year's education centres include opportunities for visitors to get up close and personal with farm animals and get good answers on why things are the way they are and how farming works.

This year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair runs November 6th to the 15th at Toronto's Exhibition Place.

Peter Hohenadel says the event is a great opportunity for farmers to interact with consumers and spread the word about their industry.
