Description

Let’s Talk Agritourism – Learning Tour & Agritourism Town Hall

Join us for an immersive agritourism learning tour and Agritourism Town Hall designed to bring farms, communities, tourism operators, and economic development partners into the same conversation. As agritourism continues to grow across Alberta, this experience explores how thoughtful, well-managed development can strengthen rural economies, support farm viability, and create meaningful visitor experiences.

Hosted in partnership with the Alberta Farm Fresh Producers Association (AFFPA), this event combines hands-on learning, collaboration, and facilitated discussion focused on building shared understanding, identifying local opportunities, and supporting long-term, sustainable agritourism growth. With nearly 40 years supporting farm-direct businesses, AFFPA brings practical, farm-first experience that connects agriculture, tourism, and community development.

Participants will enjoy a day-long learning experience with rural entrepreneurs, an immersive farm-to-table lunch, and afternoon sessions featuring tourism marketing insights from Explore Edmonton, Go East of Edmonton, and Strong Coffee Marketing, alongside agritourism specialists.

This event is ideal for farm operators, tourism businesses, municipalities, and community leaders looking to explore agritourism opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and help shape the future of rural tourism in Alberta.
