The following is intended as a mostly personal reference summarizing local Calgary area farms that sell produce through non-retail outlets such as direct to consumers and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA's). I will include links to Farmer's Markets in Calgary, but not include individual links to the farms at the markets as they are likely already listed online.
Community Supported Agriculture
A comprehensive list can be found at the following link:
Community Supported Agriculture in Alberta
Some of the farms include:
Oxyoke Farms (near Linden, AB)
Thompson Small Farm (near Sundre, AB as of MAR 2011, formerly near Carbon, AB)
Organic Grain Suppliers
Local Organic Spelt Growers - Page with additional links specifically related to Spelt Growers
Organic Agriculture Websites - links from the Alberta GovernmentCalgary Farmer's Markets
A list of local farmers markets can be found at (needs updating):
Calgary Farmers Markets
Another list of Calgary and area farmers markets, may be outdated plus has annoying pop-up ads:
Calgary & Area Farmers' Markets
Below: Some Calgary Farmers Markets near north Calgary with websites:
Blackfoot Farmers Market
Calgary Farmers' Market
Kingsland Farmers' Market
Usually has some local Hutterites selling veggies in the parking lot in July and August.
This page is intended mainly for my own reference and will not be comprehensive. My interest is primarily ordering cuts of meat and organic grains directly from farmers, so that is the focus of the list. I will update it from time to time. Let me know if you see any errors or have discovered a farm that should be added.
