Introduction
The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum sits within Ottawa's Experimental Farm, part of a still-working research farm. Visitors get close to cows, sheep, pigs and poultry, learn the field-to-table food chain, and join seasonal demos like milking and harvesting. It links agricultural science, food culture and family experience—a rare rural classroom in the city.
