University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus

Located in Ridgetown, Ontario and established in 1922 as a government experimental farm, the Ridgetown Campus became part of the University of Guelph in 1997. It offers diploma, degree, and certificate programs focused on agriculture, environmental sciences, and veterinary technology, with hands-on training tailored to rural and farm-based careers. Farmers benefit from the campus’s applied research in field crop agronomy, pest management, soil health, and livestock production, conducted through the Ontario Crops Research Centre. With over 450 acres of research land and deep ties to the farming community, Ridgetown Campus helps producers make informed, sustainable decisions for their operations.
