The Islands Agriculture Show is returning for 2025, and it’s shaping up to be an incredible event for farmers, producers, and agriculture enthusiasts across Vancouver Island and beyond. Scheduled to take place at the Cowichan Exhibition Park from January 31 to February 1, 2025, this year’s show offers a platform to connect, learn, and engage with industry experts and peers.

What to Expect

The Islands Agriculture Show will once again provide a diverse range of workshops, networking opportunities, and an impressive trade show. The event promises valuable insights for attendees of all experience levels, covering important topics such as water management, business and succession planning, soil health, and weed and pest management. You can find the complete list of presenters and conference sessions here.

Another key highlight for 2025 is Young Farmers Day on Friday, January 31, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This initiative is aimed at inspiring and supporting the next generation of farmers. It provides an opportunity for schoolchildren to learn about farming in the community through fun activities and demonstrations by groups such as the Vancouver Island Regional 4-H Council and the Pacific Northwest Raptors.
