Come Meet Alberta’s Rural Neighbours on August 17 & 18, 2024
Alberta Open Farms Days works to be an incubator for Agri-tourism and rural sustainability. It brings Albertans together through education and experience with agricultural-based initiatives i.e. farms to learn about food production.
As well, some of Alberta's chefs and rural communities host a series of farm to table culinary events held around the province using Alberta farm products.
The Doors are Open at Chatsworth Farm on August 17th
Our friends at Chatsworth Farm, including the farm family and volunteers, are excited to be participating in their fifth annual Alberta Open Farm Days, on Saturday, August 17th. They invite their urban and rural neighbours to stop in for a visit. Join them for the day to meet the people behind the farm, see where food is produced and learn more about farming.
