Open Farm Days | Farming Smarter

Open Farm Days | Farming Smarter in Lethbridge’s Historic Plains region offers hands-on agricultural experiences that connect visitors with local farming. Guests can explore interactive booths, ask questions, and chat with agriculture professionals who share how research shapes real-world farming practices in southern Alberta. A bingo-style activity encourages visitors to stop at each booth, engage with exhibitors, and discover new insights about crops, soil and innovation at their own pace. Guided tours of Farming Smarter’s field research plots offer an up-close look at how local farmers use research to support decisions and drive innovation. Families can enjoy a dedicated kid’s area, grab a bite at the BBQ, dig their own potatoes, and take part in a variety of fun, hands-on activities that make agriculture feel welcoming and accessible for all ages.
