2024 edition of Alberta Open Farm Days breaks attendance record

Organizers with Alberta Open Farm Days say attendance broke a record in 2024.

They say Open Farm Days attracted 52,000 visitors in 2024 compared to 36,000 in 2023.

“We were very excited about Alberta Open Farm Days 2024. We saw a notable increase in the number of participating farms, with more than 150 farms opening their doors to Albertans,” says Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies CEO Tim Carson in a news release.

Since it started, Alberta Open Farm Days has generated $1.7 million in sales. On-farm sales passed $300,000 for the first time last year. Organizers think this is an indication that “visitors are eager to support Alberta’s agricultural industry.”
