Alberta Open Farm Days is your FREE, behind-the-scenes look at the province’s agriculture and local food system. Alberta Open Farm Days is all about bringing Albertans together through educational and hands-on experiences that show where food comes from and how it is produced. Alberta Open Farm Days is a chance to connect with rural communities, support agricultural tourism, and experience the diversity of food grown and raised right here in Alberta.
For one weekend (Aug 15-16th), farms, ranches, breweries, orchards, dairies, and food producers across the province open their gates to you.
Here’s what you’re going to experience:
- See it firsthand: Walk a field, meet the animals, or learn about the tools and technology that power modern agriculture.
- Meet the people: Talk directly with the farmers, ranchers, producers, and culinary partners who grow and prepare your food, and get your questions answered.
- Taste local: Many host locations feature farm-to-table meals, onsite specials, samples, food trucks, or Alberta-made products for purchase.
