Registration is underway for Alberta Open Farm Days. Last year’s event attracted nearly 16,000 attendees with more than 110 host farms participating, and the event’s organizers say 92 per cent of them said they would participate again.

They also note a wide range of operations have been part of the event, which takes place on Aug. 19-20 this year. There are a number of resources for producers thinking of participating in the Host Farms section of albertaopenfarmdays.ca.

This includes a short video on whether the event is a fit for your farm, a questionnaire to assess if your operation is ready to receive visitors, and an online registration form (officials contact registrants and provide more information).
