Souto Farms Local Market

We are proud to share the inner workings of our family business and explain what sustainable, local farming means to us. As many of you know, we are third generation fruit farmers from Oliver, BC. Over the years, we have grown from hard working farmers into a trusted source of delicious goods sold at Alberta farmer's markets. In 2018, we planted our own ground crop on our property in Airdrie. We are very proud to have two farms, and the ability to provide fresh BC fruit and AB veggies to you and your families - the best of both worlds 🙂
Since then, we have only continued to expand. In 2021 we opened Souto Farms Local Market, our brick-and-mortar store location on our Alberta property.
Open Farm Days will give you an opportunity to tour our Alberta operations, where Chris Souto will share with you how we plant, how we grow, how we pull, our sustainable growing practices, how we bag and store our products, and some information about our BC farm and our farm store. We’ll also have yard games, a petting zoo with our animals, bouncy castles, food trucks, a playground, and more! This is a great day to learn more about where your food comes from, and more about our family business! Our store offers fruit from our farm in BC, our Alberta veggies, products from other local farmers, and a large variety of grocery and household items from over 40 local vendors! We also have coffee and ice cream, and an outdoor patio for you to relax and hang out!
Farm Tours offered daily at 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM-Pre-registration is requested.

Your hosts, Michel and Hanneke Camps, are a first-generation Canadian farm family who will be showcasing potatoes, sugar beets, grain, canola, and corn.

This year, they will once again have Alberta Sugar Beet Growers joining, telling the story of #ABsugar22 – the only source of 100% Canadian sugar products (and it’s specifically grown in the Taber area)! Throughout the day, you can expect:- Free tours of the machinery, farming practices, and facilities happening every hour – all guided by local farmers.

- To make your own French fries with potatoes straight from the field
- To enjoy Lemonade, cotton-candy, and cookies featuring #ABsugar22 …And so much more! Ask questions, gain first-hand knowledge about what truly happens on a farm, learn what is put into growing each crop, and experience a day-in-the-life yourself!
