The Bruce D. Campbell Farm and Food Discovery Centre if affiliated with the University of Manitoba's Glenlea Research Station is the first hands-on facility that explores how food is made in Canada. Exciting and interactive exhibits lead visitors from the farmer’s wheat field to the kitchen table. Visitors learn about every aspect of food production from farming practices to retail sales. The Discovery Centre also highlights ongoing research at the National Centre for Livestock and the Environment.

Hands-on highlights include viewing windows into real working pig barn, simulation tractor cab, computer games, weather station, biosecurity shower, vet ultrasound, store scanner and chemistry of food. 

Located south of Winnipeg on Hwy 75, the centre is a scenic 10 minute drive from the city and features a multipurpose room, exhibit areas, office and reception, washrooms and storage space. Site features include a dedicated parking lot, a bus drop-off zone, a landscaped picnic area and outside exhibits designed to mimic river lots upon which Manitoba crops can be grown. The multipurpose space will support hands-on activities and can be used for public presentations and meetings.
