Farming Smarter Association

Alberta allows outdoor gatherings up to 100 people and we have tons of space to maintain the minimum social distance recommendations. If you have joined us for this event before you know how much fun it is!

For those that have not participated before, this event provides families with an excellent opportunity to learn, have fun, and generate some great outdoor memories.
