ALBERTA OPEN FARM DAYS IS A PROVINCE WIDE OPEN HOUSE

COME MEET YOUR RURAL NEIGHBOURS

Alberta Open Farms Days is an incubator for agri-tourism and rural sustainability. We bring Albertans together through educational and experiential agricultural-based initiatives to learn about where your food comes from. As well, some of Alberta’s most talented chefs and rural communities will be hosting a memorable series of farm to table culinary events that will be held around the province using Alberta farm products.

All kids seem to be interested in farm animals and tractors, so why not bring them to a real farm to see how it is all done. The FREE event is your chance to meet some of your rural neighbours for a hands on experience. We have had the opportunity to go the past 2 years with the kids, and they had so much fun!

APIARY & HONEY EXPERIENCES

Did you know…

Alberta is the largest honey producer in Canada and the third largest in North America? Alberta’s commercial beekeepers manage 25 billion bees; around 300,000 colonies and produce 40 million pounds of honey every year!
Beekeeping isn’t just as simple as putting a hive out and collecting the honey! There is a lot of hard work, science, management, adapting and knowledge involved.
