Visit The Farms Where CFM’s Delicious Produce Comes From
Four of the Innisfail Growers Farms are open to the public on Saturday, August 15:
🥕 Becks Farms: Growing outstanding carrots since 1986.
🌿 Edgar Farms: Farming since the early 1980s and famous for sweet asparagus, fresh peas, and unique speciality crops.
🥔 Upper Green Farms: Producing premium Alberta potatoes since 1993.
🐻 The Jungle Farm: Fourth-generation family farm with a story as memorable as its produce. Named after a local bear that once called the property home (with a nod to The Jungle Book), it’s also a popular U-pick destination where families can experience farm life and harvest their own fresh produce.

Innisfail Growers Farm Exploration DaySaturday, August 15 — 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Here’s your chance to meet the incredible family farms working together to bring Alberta’s harvest straight to your table.
Innisfail Growers is made up of five family farms, all sharing the same passion for growing exceptional food.
Every fruit and vegetable is grown on their farms, handpicked at peak freshness, carefully packaged, and delivered to the market within 24 hours of harvest.
Any produce that doesn’t sell fresh is transformed into delicious preserves, homemade pies, ready-made meals, and tasty snacks—so you can enjoy the flavours of the growing season all year long while reducing food waste.
