Woodstock, Ont., September 18, 2025 – Over thirty-five thousand visitors filled the show grounds September 9-11 at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ontario. From field demonstrations to farm-fresh food serving Ontario-grown fare, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show delivered something for everyone who wanted to experience agriculture up close.
“Our farm show is not only about showcasing what’s new in agriculture. We bring people together,” says Rob O’Connor, Show Director for Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show. “This year, we welcomed international delegates, school tours, and industry leaders, all finding common ground in the future of farming.”
Political leaders also took part in important cross-border conversations. Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness Trevor Jones met with Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding on site, where both shared their commonalities and focus on agriculture. Ontario Minister of Rural Affairs Lisa Thompson was also in attendance at the show on Wednesday to connect with visitors and exhibitors on site.
O’Connor says that the show’s global reach is growing each year, with international visitors seeking new potential markets. This year’s event featured over 600 exhibitor booths with companies unveiling new products, showcasing research, and demonstrating equipment and technology in real-world field conditions.
Highlights of the 2025 show included:
• Autonomous, robotic and electric equipment demonstrations including tillage and baling demonstrations.
• AgTech networking events connecting startups, farmers and industry leaders.
• The Dairy Innovation Centre, featuring live animals and robotic feeding.
• Educational tours with local school-aged children experiencing agriculture up close, with the AgScape Teacher Award presented during the Innovations Award ceremony to recognize outstanding contributions to agricultural education.
• A local market featuring vendors from across Rural Oxford County, giving visitors the chance to enjoy farm-fresh products, homemade goods and the flavours of the region.
