Farms, ranches and food producers will open their gates, offering everything from guided tours and hands-on activities to local food experiences. This year's theme is Rangelands and Pastoralists. Agriculture and Irrigation Minister Tara Sawyer is encouraging everyone to get out, buy local and take the time to meet the people behind the food we enjoy.” Everyone can also support local producers through more than 150 approved farmers markets and numerous farm-direct businesses across the province. Open Farm Days runs Saturday and Sunday.
