Residents of Winnipeg will have a chance this weekend to find out more about where their food comes from.
 
The annual Ag in the City event is taking place Friday and Saturday at the Forks Market in downtown Winnipeg.
 
Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba Executive Director Sue Clayton explains what the event is all about.
 
"It's aimed at the general public that have an interest in wanting to know more about how their food is produced, where their food comes from," she said. "Most of the commodity groups are represented there. There's eggs, turkey, fruit, canola, beef, pork, dairy, pulses. So all these different commodity groups will have a booth there."
