Farm / Jackson Homesteaders Farms Ltd

Farm Type: Mixed- grain and livestock operation

Jackson Homesteaders is one of the oldest farms in Alberta that is still in operation on the original homestead.

We reside on the original piece of land that Thomas Jackson first occupied in 1883, after originally arriving in 1881 with Richard Ottewell. The Jacksons have a proud farming heritage and our farm has received two Century Farm awards. We invite you to come tour our farm and learn about how our operation runs. We farm 3200 acres in Strathcona County and the Edmonton area, and we partner with extended family to work another 1800 acres in Killam AB. Jacksons also run a horse boarding business, run a community garden, as well as have a small herd of Dexter-cross cattle.

• We’ll be having farm tours running all weekend

• As well as up-close encounters with the horses, ponies, chickens, ducks and cows.

The tours will be for all-ages. You’ll learn about the crops we grow, how we grow them, the machinery we use and some of the proud history of our farm.

We’ll have games for the kids and hotdogs available for purchase. Porta-potties will be on-site as well.

Because it was such a success last year, we are inviting local artisans to set up and sell their wares, so please come out to support some local artists!

We are located immediately north of Hwy 16, north of Sherwood Park on Clover Bar Road.
