Open Farm Days celebrates 10 years this weekend
LETHBRIDGE, AB – If you’ve ever wondered where all the food in grocery stores come from, you’ll want to check out the 10th anniversary of Open Farm Days, taking place across Alberta this weekend.
Happening on August 13 and 14, 2022, participating farms across the Province are inviting rural, and urban Albertans alike to come experience a day in the life as an agricultural producer.
Tim Carson is the CEO of the Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies. He says visitors can expect something a little different at each farm they visit.
“We have nearly 120 host farms involved this year, each one with a unique experience,” explained Carson. “We also have nearly 70 culinary events out there as well. So not only can you go and visit those farms, but they will have food that has come directly from that location for you to try, sample and even take home.”
