At Agriculture in the Classroom NL, we believe change starts with educating our youth.

Today, we celebrate not only the beauty and power of nature but the incredible energy of young people who are learning to care for it. Through hands-on gardening and agriculture education, we’re growing more than plants—we're growing future stewards of the Earth.

This year’s theme reminds us that restoring our planet starts with action. Whether it's planting a seed, composting, or understanding the ecosystems in our own backyards, every step counts.

Let’s keep empowering youth to dig in, learn deeply, and grow green. Together, we’re cultivating a healthier, more sustainable world—one garden at a time.

Students at MacDonald Junior High got to see how research scientists create thousands of identical plants! Darryl Martin, a Molecular Biology Technician with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada showed students how they replicate plants to ensure farmers are getting healthy, viable, and hardy plants for Newfoundland and Labrador consumers. Thank you, Darryl, for joining us and thank you to MacDonald JH for inviting us into your science classes. 🍓🫐

From Farm to Fridge – and Every Proud Hand in Between! 💙🐄

Today, we’re raising a glass (of milk, of course) to World Milk Day — and to the hardworking people across Newfoundland and Labrador who make it all possible.

From our 19 dedicated dairy farmers who care for their herds through rain, shine, or snow.

To the skilled team at the NL Dairy Co-operative who process, package, and deliver every carton with care. And to you, our community, who choose local every time you pour a glass.

Whether it’s 2%, skim, or creamy 3.25%, your favourite Central Dairies milk is 100% local, made right here on the island.

Today, we celebrate milk — and the community that makes it possible.
