Hundreds of Grade 5 and 6 students from Bruce County will converge on the Walkerton Agricultural Buildings Tuesday and Wednesday for the 15th Roots of Bruce Project.
That is where the students are given a crash course about the role agriculture plays in the region and where their food actually comes from.
Danielle Snyder is one of the organizers of the event and says its a very hands on learning experience for the young people.
The project will see 20 different commodity groups set up work stations to demonstrate and explain to the students how their product is produced.
She says the students will learn aobut soil and crops, woodlot management, beekeeping, poultry fruits and vegetables and just about every other aspect of agriculture.
Snyder says the students attend either a morning or afternoon session and are split up into small groups and then will see 8 different presentations.
She says not all the students will see every presentation, but its hoped when they return to class, they will share their experiences with their classmates.
About 100 volunteers also involved in the project to help the students learn about agriculture and where their food comes from.
