Edmonton Urban Farm
The Edmonton Urban Farm is a unique place for growing food and learning about growing food. It increases both food security and food literacy in one shot! Explore Edmonton manages the farm while almost 300 people in twenty-five independent groups farm it. The amazing gardens form an outdoor classroom for Explore Edmonton educational programs, like Open Farm Days. Are you a teacher looking to register your class for a visit? Check out the Urban Farm School and book your field trip!
In 2023, 10,000 people visited Edmonton Urban Farm. Visitors met farmers, tasted honey, explored a vegetable labyrinth, checked out the worm compost, smelled herbs, ate edible flowers, examined bee hotels, said hi to the laying hens, pet a rabbit, and more.
Urban Farm Kids Club returns in 2024, every Saturday from June 1 to September 28, from 11:00am-12:30pm. Drop-in sessions accommodate up to 25 participants. Parents remain on the Urban Farm while kids experience all aspects of gardening!
