Alberta Open Farm Days will return August 16 & 17, 2025.Alberta Open Farm Days is an incubator for agri-tourism and rural sustainability. This is a collaborative, province-wide, FREE event that provides Albertans an opportunity to experience the farm and understand where their food comes from. It is a backstage pass to meet the farmer, experience Agri-tourism in Alberta and taste local foods directly from the producer.
Join us on August 16 & 17, 2025, when many Albertan farms, ranches, and agri-tourism operators open their gates to share local stories, give on-farm demonstrations, and present local products.
