Tips:

  • If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website or Facebook page. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
  • ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO - many farms have closed in the past year, and of course, we won't know until the season starts and we find they aren't open! Call to confirm their supply, their hours and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available. All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and they don't all update me every day, let alone every year. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here !
    DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM (by phone, email or find current information on their website or Facebook page!
  • And please tell the farmer you visit in Alberta that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.

Alberta Regions / Areas Map

Alberta areas and regions map

There seems to be no commonly agreed-upon way to organize or subdivide Alberta,

so I've roughly adopted the Indian regions map, as it appears to group areas

by population centers as well as geography.

Yellow = Edmonton area

Light Orange / Tan = Camrose-Drumheller area

Light blue = Red Deer area

Gray = Calgary area

Blue-purple = Southeast Alberta, including Medicine Hat and Lethbridge

Blue = Northwest Alberta, including Grand Prairie and Athabasca

Green = Northeast Alberta, including Fort McMurray

Orange = Southwest Alberta, including Banff, Jasper and Rocky Mountain House
