Event Summary
Saskatchewan Open Farm Days is an innovative, province-wide event aiming to bridge the gap between consumers and the origins of their food. Drawing inspiration from successful models in other Canadian regions, the event is crafted to serve as an incubator for agritourism and rural sustainability. In its pilot year, Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan is set to collaborate with farms, the local food chain, and agritourism operators to curate a diverse array of experiences. Consumers will be invited to check out the rich tapestry of production practices across the province and celebrate local farm products through memorable farm-to-table culinary events.
Event Goals
