Innovation Acres in Woodstock is a 330-acre demonstration farm and events facility located in southwestern Ontario. Innovation Acres is part of  Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, Ontario ’s largest outdoor farm show. This is the place where key players in the industry gather to collaborate on research, demonstration and learning initiatives that leverage the strength of Ontario agriculture.

Innovation Acres in Woodstock is part of the Pan-Canadian Smart Farm Network, a national network of smart farms across four provinces working collaboratively towards advancing AgTech solutions and sustainability across Canada. Innovation Acres in Woodstock is the first Eastern Canada location for the network, bringing production practices and soil types more common in Eastern Canada into network research activities, as well as specific expertise in soybeans and corn.

As part of the Pan-Canadian Smart Farm Network — led by Olds College — Innovation Acres Woodstock contributes to smart farm learning to support Canada’s agriculture sector efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in response to emerging opportunities and challenges in the industry. Like other activities at Innovation Acres, the network fosters collaboration among researchers, producers, industry partners, and other stakeholders nationwide to drive innovative projects that address critical issues in AgTech development and adoption.

Innovation Acres works with partners to facilitate learning that matters to Canadian farmers and uncover solutions to the unique challenges facing Canadian farmers. Industry partners test practical applications, farming methods, technologies and products in a real-world setting. Knowledge from these projects is shared with farm audiences to help inform future advancements for agriculture.

At Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, we turn farming into a real-life show and tell. We’ve been doing this since 1993, right in the heart of Woodstock, Ontario. It’s all about giving farmers like you a place to see what’s new in the world of farming, talk shop, and share tips and tricks.

Here, you’ll find more than hundreds of exhibitors set up to show you their latest and greatest. They come from all across Canada and beyond, showing everything from the biggest tractors to the smartest ways to manage your crops. Each year, we bring together over 36,000 people who live and breathe farming just like you do.

We’ve got a thing for new gadgets and ideas here at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, especially ones that make farming better for us and the land we love. We’re always excited to show off the newest tools and techniques, from pinpoint accurate farming to stuff that practically does the work for you.

We’re all about making Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show the best place for farmers to hang out. Our team works hard to give you a chance to try out the latest gear, chat with the top dogs in the industry and get a handle on what’s happening in farming today.
