Alberta Local Food Week: Minister Sigurdson

“Aug. 14-20 is Local Food Week, an opportunity to celebrate the hard-working Alberta producers and processors who put delicious and nutritious food on plates across the province and around the world.

“Alberta is home to thousands of local producers, and there are many ways you can support them this week. You can visit a farmers’ market, go to a U-pick farm, choose foods at the grocery store with the Made in Alberta label, use the #ABLocalFood hashtag on social media or plan an Open Farm Days visit.

“Open Farm Days wraps up Local Food Week on Aug. 19 and 20. More than 100 farms across the province are opening their gates so Albertans can see first-hand how their food is made and get to know the people who produce it.
