Edgar Farms Open House

This weekend we hosted our open house at the farm. On Saturday we hosted both Innisfail Growers Customer Appreciation Day and Country Drive.ca guests to our farm. On Sunday we hosted Country Drive guests. We set out an sample table so you could taste some of our products we grow on our farm. We had our Asparagus relish with cream cheese on a cracker, Sugar Snap peas that to eat you just pop in your mouth pod and all, Beef jerky from our butcher who just won the best in Alberta award for his beef jerky, Asparagus pickles, and our newest product, an Asparagus dip similar to guacamole but much better.
We had the petting zoo for the children and the adults alike. One nice lady from Calgary told me she got to pet a frog and a chicken in the same day, something you can't do in the city. We had free kittens to give away. There was the same bale fort that we had in the spring as well as the Edgar Farms temporary tattoos for the kids and grandma's alike. Tours to the bagging shed were available to show people how we package and chill our peas. On Saturday we had tours to the field with everyone in their vehicles following one of our quads to the asparagus field for a look at the fern and then off to pea field to pick some peas. On Saturday evening we had 4 tenths of an inch of rain so on Sunday we set up a hay ride behind the tractor and did the same tour.
