Who we are:
Edgar Farms is a 6th generation family farm in central Alberta. Back in 1986, inspiration to start diversifying into the locally-grown, consumer-direct market first came from tasting the intenseness of the flavor of asparagus grown in our family garden and the desire to market direct to consumers. No one else was growing asparagus in our weather-challenged climate so we gave it a try. We now harvest a 21 acre patch of asparagus every spring which, due to our unique cool Alberta spring nights and optimum soil conditions, has incredible sweetness and amazing flavor. |
| Asparagus is ready
 We are now picking our asparagus field daily.
The asparagus that we grow in our cool climate has an amazing intense flavor and is very sweet.
The season is very short, we will only be picking until the end of June. |
| Our Country Store
 Our shelves are brimming with home grown & home made goodness.
We offer farm-direct seasonal farm gate sales of our home grown sweet and tender asparagus and many other seasonal veggies.
Open 8 AM- 8 PM daily May 15 – Sept 30
Located 10 km. west of Innisfail on the Cottonwood Road, our store is now open.
Please visit our website www.edgarfarms.com
Along with our asparagus, we will be harvesting Rhubarb, Pea Tendrils & Spinach within a few days. |
Preserves Shelves  Our  preserves shelves are brimming with a large selection of handmade preserves using traditional recipes and our own home grown ingredients. We hand make and never use any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Everything is natural as it should be.

Home Raise d Angus BeefÂ
In our display freezer you will find a large selection of cuts of our hormone- and antibiotic-free grass fed Angus beef.
Our beef is aged a full 21 days for optimum tenderness and flavour.
The animals are home raised and  grass fed here on our family farm.

Baby Pea Tendrils Under Row Cover
The big white blanket that is in the picture is a cover we put on to protect from frost and encourage growth. I have lifted a corner of the row cover to show the pea tendrils. We hope to be harvesting them within a few days and they will be in our Country Store. Pea tendrils are delicious in salads or stir frys.
We could not use row cover on the asparagus. It grows much too fast and the field is very, very large.
