Developed by Grain Farmers of Ontario, the What’s Growing ON resource kits include all the materials to complete lessons and activities designed to help Ontario school children and families understand the role grains play in the lives of Ontarians. The packages are a great teaching tool for students to learn about the environment, plants, and sustainable end uses of grain products.

Each package includes a teacher’s resource kit, 25 parents’ guides with at-home activities, and 25 planting cups with seeds. If you are a teacher or working with school-aged children visit www.goodineverygrain.ca/teachers to order free kits.

In addition to the resources kits, Grain Farmers of Ontario offers a variety of educational materials for farmer-members and the public. Visit www.goodineverygrain.ca to learn more.
