This August, if you find yourself in Alberta, don’t miss the exciting Open Farm Days happening on August 16 and 17! This fantastic event invites you to explore the beautiful rural landscapes while learning about the delicious, safe food that comes from dedicated local farmers and ranchers.

The theme this year is “Water, The Lifeblood of Every Farm”, highlighting the crucial role water plays in agriculture. So, whether you’re picking fresh fruits or enjoying farm-to-table culinary experiences, your participation goes a long way in supporting local producers!

You’ll have the unique opportunity to visit over 155 farms, buy locally grown products, and even taste dishes prepared by some of the best chefs in rural Alberta. It’s a perfect way to spend time with family and friends, connect with your food, and support the community!

Additionally, during Local Food Week from August 11-17, you can explore farmers’ markets across Alberta and meet the incredible people who grow, bake, and make the food you love. Remember, when you buy local, you’re not just enjoying great flavors—you’re also nurturing Alberta's agriculture!
