Alberta Open Farm Days continues to grow both in size and impact. The province-wide initiative invites Albertans to step through farm gates and experience agriculture firsthand while learning where their food comes from. The 2025 edition was a record-setter. According to Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies CEO Tim Carson, this year’s event welcomed more than 52-thousand visitors, with several farms reporting their best-ever attendance and sales. Nearly a quarter of participating farms were new to the program, a sign of growing interest in agritourism across the province.
