Alberta Open Farm Days Offers Backstage Pass To Life On The Farm

Rural Roots Canada

Alberta is gearing up for its 12th annual Open Farm Days, a two-day event on August 17 and 18 that serves as a backstage pass to life on the farm. Celebrating the province's agricultural heritage, it's an opportunity to meet local farmers, experience agri-tourism first-hand, and sample delicious food directly from producers. The goal is to provide an immersive experience by connecting consumers of all ages to those who grow and produce the food they eat. Visitors will have the chance to discover a wide array of farming operations within the province and sample a variety of local, homegrown Alberta products. Charlotte Wasylik is a proud member of the Chatsworth Farm family, which is participating in this year's event. It's the fifth time the farming operation, located in Vermillion, Alberta, has taken part in Open Farm Days. Wasylik says they always try to include unique experiences that showcase life on the farm. This year is no different, as they have secured the culinary expertise of three Edmonton-based chefs to cook up a storm for their guests.
