Record number of farms sign up for Alberta Open Farm Days

Alberta Open Farm Days are coming up later this month in southern Alberta.

The two-day celebration of agriculture is set for August 17-18. The annual event gives southern Albertans an opportunity to see where their food comes from and meet the people who make it through unique on-farm experiences.

Tannis Baker is on the executive planning committee for Open Farm Days. She says they have a record number of farms this year with over 160 signing up for it.

She encourages everyone to check out the AlbertaOpenFarmDays.ca website to find all of the places participating and see what they have to offer.

Alberta Open Farm Days began in 2013. For 2024, the event is shining a spotlight on an important part of Alberta’s fibre industry – the alpaca.
