2025 | Alberta Open Farm Days at Chatsworth Farm
Chatsworth Farm and our family are very excited to be participating in our fifth annual Alberta Open Farm Days, on Saturday, August 16th. Open Farm Days is a province-wide open house for Alberta farms, who invite their urban and rural neighbours to stop in for a visit. Join us for the day to meet the people behind the farm, see where your food comes from and learn more about farming, enjoy a day out, and reconnect with nature.
Walk-ins are welcome, please check in at our Welcome Tent upon your arrival!
Our farm will be open to visitors on Saturday, August 16th, 2024 from 11 am to 5 pm for free tours and demonstrations:
