Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Calgary area of Alberta, Canada? Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Calgary area of Alberta, Canada,
sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New! As inflation remains high, see this page for
reliable (tested) brands of generic canning lids at lower
costs, and cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.

finding canning lids, I've used these, and they're a great price & ship in 2 days.

Active Federal facilities even fun geology: like fossils and volcanic areas
Note: Beware, Google is up to more sleazy tricks:
- If you see any links that look like this
(Text surrounded by a blue oval and a little icon on the left)
I DID NOT
put those there - they are inserted by Google Chrome Browser and there is nothing I, nor any other website, can do to
block them! It should be illegal! It's more of Google's corporate GREED crap. At the moment,
Edge browser is a better option...
- Google's AI search answers - it MAKES UP NONSENSE. Also beware the copycat websites like the one that stole
our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update
the info! I make updates EVERY day. Obviously, I cannot check
every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to
all requests. They don't. Don't support the scammers!
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook
page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or
Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally
overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with
the farm directly before you go!
And if you know of any farms I missed and want to
add a farm, please let me know!
I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find
anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -
please let me know! This website is supported by purchases you make
