2026 Theme: Rangelands and Pastoralists

Alberta Open Farm Days is your free, behind-the-scenes look at the province's agriculture and local food system. It is also an incubator for agricultural tourism and rural sustainability, bringing Albertans together through educational and hands-on experiences that show where food comes from and how it is produced.

For one weekend, farms, ranches, breweries, orchards, dairies, and food producers across the province open their gates to the public.

• See it firsthand: Walk a field, meet the animals, or learn about the tools and technology that power modern agriculture.
  
• Meet the people: Talk directly with the farmers, ranchers, producers, and culinary partners who grow and prepare your food, and get your questions answered.
  
• Taste local: Many host locations feature farm-to-table meals, onsite specials, samples, food trucks, or Alberta-made products for purchase.
  

Alberta Open Farm Days is a chance to connect with rural communities, support agricultural tourism, and experience the diversity of food grown and raised right here in Alberta.
