O’Canada Bison Wool corp is an Alberta farm family owned company that brings the magic of bison wool to your feet, and bison tallow to your body! Our Made in Alberta bison wool socks simply are incredible and work - whether you are outside to work or play in winter. Bison fibre is moisture-wicking, 10X warmer than other natural fibres and make socks that can’t be beat for warmth and durability. New for 2024 was our line of moisturizing bison tallow lotion and soaps. And in 2025 we began developing a line of bison filled batting - that can be used in quilting or other insulated products that we will be bringing to market this 2025 fall. Join us to get some of the bison magic in your life on Sunday August 20th as we take groups of interested folks around our shop. You will get a chance to see how the bison fibre is collected (shearing a hide) then get processed into different grades of fibre, and even check out our batting line production machine as well. Explore yarns, socks, and much more in our 1.5 hr tours. Our bison retail products, made 100% in Alberta/Canada will be available for sale.
Our Tours are scheduled at 9:30, 11:00, 1:00, and 2:30 pm.

Providence Lane Homestead
In or near: Cochrane, Dogpound, Water Valley





Welcome to our frontier!
Providence Lane Homestead is a small-scale regenerative farm located just 45 minutes northwest of downtown Calgary. Since 2019, we have been Canada's only dedicated fibre farm to be certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World. With our flock of endangered heritage breed Border Leicesters - the breed was featured in the movie "Babe" - and a small troop of alpacas, we use our flerd to carefully manage the land we steward, including eight hectares of untouched native prairie, a small outpost in a critically-endangered prairie ecosystem.
We believe in building community and have worked extensively with many partners, including the University of Calgary, the Alberta University of the Arts, Emily Carr University of Art + Design as well as our amazing conservation partners like MultiSAR and Cows and Fish as well as other community members (we call them our fibre friends) like our amazingly supportive handspinners and weavers, artists, makers and more. We prioritize climate resilience and rare breed conservation as we work hard to raise our heritage breed sheep in an environment where they will not only thrive, but they'll also become a critical part of building healthy soil, water and carbon cycles.
As much as we can be, we are an inclusive environment and welcome guests from every walk of life. For those of our guests who may require a quiet Sensory Space, we are pleased to provide an opportunity to ground yourself, catch your breath and re-establish your equilibrium. Please ask us and we will be happy to point you in the right direction!
During Open Farm Days, join us at Providence Lane Homestead on Saturday,
- we will be showcasing a raw fleece-to-finished rug weaving process in a single day with our friends from Traceable Textiles in Edmonton - watch them as they skirt and sort one of our raw fleeces, spin it into yarn and then weave it into a richly-textured rug, all in a single day! The resulting rug will be part of our silent auction with proceeds to be donated to one of our provincial conservation organizations.
- we will have real-life archaeologists with us from 10 a.m. until noon. Meet our very dear friends Sam Judson, Masters student with the University of Calgary's archaeology department, and Brendan Many Bears of the Siksika Nation, a member community of the Blackfoot Confederacy and Treaty 7. We are so excited and privileged to host these two incredible people as they guide participants on a land-based walking tour showcasing the importance of water to all Albertans, from the distant past all the way through today! Many Indigenous communities consider water a source of life. Learn how water shaped the land and the people who call Alberta home, since time immemorial.
- Browse our "Down The Lane" marketplace with a range of wool and sheep-based items from Marty Lynn Designs and including yarns from our own alpacas, finished garments, hand-made sheep's milk soap and more.
On Sunday,
- "Down the Lane" market will still be open - come say high to Jillian and watch her at work with her knitting machine!
- join us for fibre demonstrations with Shannon, one of our weavers from Traceable Textiles. Shannon will show how to prep a fleece for spinning and with her hand carders and table loom, guests will be able to take a turn trying their hand at this ancient technology and craft.
- a guided tour of our riparian (wetland) zones with our friend Maddy from Cows and Fish Riparian Management Society. Learn how we use sheep to regeneratively manage these vital and delicate ecosystems. Maddy will be leading tours from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.
- needle-felt your very own Christmas ornament! Join Tara and Jillian at 1 p.m. as we walk you through a simple design and making process on one of our handmade 100 per cent alpaca ornament forms. Jillian will be sharing a little bit about why she loves to work with natural and undyed wool - you'll catch her passion! PLEASE NOTE: workshop 1 -2 pm, fee $24/person, first-come/first-served and we do have limited spaces. Please be aware, felting needles are SHARP. This workshop is available for anyone 9 years old and up. Children MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
- NEW WORKSHOP - EXPLORE FESCUE CORDAGE!! I’m so thrilled to have Mackenzie Kelly Frére with us! An associate professor at AUArts, Mackenzie is an incredibly gifted fibre artist - a weaver and spinner. For this workshop, Mackenzie will be teaching participants a simple cordage technique using our native fescues - it’s your chance to get up-close-and-personal with this critically endangered prairie ecosystem. Due to the sensitive nature of this part of the farm, participants for the cordage workshop will be limited. First come, first served, $10/person. Workshop begins at 2:30pm - bring good shoes for walking
Although we welcome all kinds of people to the homestead, we are unable to accommodate dogs. For everyone's safety and comfort, please leave your fabulous pooch at home. Clio, Brian and Mabel thank you!
With more activities lining up, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter and check back to catch the latest updates!

Welcome to Hamingja (Icelandic for Happiness) - Heritage Farm & Nature Preserve, a hobby farm for awareness & preservation of the ancient Scottish Soay Sheep breed, landrace Icelandic chickens and a showcase for the importance of healthy waters to farms and our world.
Our 2025 guided farm tours provide a real time focus on riparian habitat health and offer suggestions for co-existence with beavers as well as providing the usual tours of our site, historical livestock, interactive demonstrations, i.e. carding and felting, meeting the Icelandic Sheep, meeting our livestock guardian dog “on the job”, and learning about honeybees. With our farm's location on the lands and waters of the former Blueberry Springs Trout Hatchery, we are also offering a close look at the water needs of farms, communities, and our province with fostering awareness to current drought conditions, water quality, and effective water management. Water is the Farm's Lifeblood!
There are interactive opportunities for children and families to:
- feed the rainbow and brook trout in the Big Pond

- feed our Rouen ducks
- view aquatic insects, wetland wildlife and how they connect with the farm
- access current resource materials
- view a display of a cross-section of an aquifer and its waters at our "Water Table".
- **Interested in becoming more involved with water conservation? We also feature information about local watershed groups and ways to participate in caring for our waters.
- take a short walk to the nearby Blueberry Creek National Healing Forest, one of two Alberta forest sites officially designated towards Truth & Reconciliation, and take the opportunity to explore the labyrinth there
Your Open Farm Hosts welcome you:
- Janina, "the city girl with a romantic view of farming" is a member of the Soay and Boreray Sheep Society from the UK and is a passionate shepherdess, teacher, musician and naturalist who will tour you about the farm and regale you with names and stories of these rare and unique "critters".
- John is a fish farmer, shepherd, tradesman, bee keeper and musician who is a strong advocate for water stewardship. He is a river man, canoeist and has a passion for everything about water!
- Beulah is an educator, world traveler, and the fibre arts mentor and artisan who'll involve you in felting, fibre fun, carding and other close up looks at the fleeces of our Soay and Icelandic sheep.
Healing in Nature, we provide opportunities for all ages to connect with land, waters & life. There will be light snacks, water and coffee available by donation, but you are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the Valley visit!
Artisans and vendors on site offer Indigenous Art as well as rewilding with Alberta wild plants.
At Hamingja - Heritage Farm & Nature Preserve, we are sincerely grateful to live, learn, work, and travel within Treaty 6 and we recognize and honor this ancestral and traditional homeland of the Nehiyaw, Dene, Niitsitapi, Saulteaux, Stoney Nakoda, and members of the Metis Nation of Alberta who live, carry the knowledge of, and travel these lands for time immemorial.

Rocking T Farms
In or near: Anselmo, Anselmo Hall/ Mayerthorpe, Entwistle, Evansburg, Mayerthorpe, Mayerthorpe/Wildwood, Whitecourt, Wildwood, Wildwood/Yellowhead County, Yellowhead County







Rocking T Farms is a first generation regenerative family farm.
Rocking T Farms is a regenerative family farm. We produce pasture raised pork and cover-crop finished beef, with plans of starting a market garden and producing cover crop seed.
All health starts in the soil microbiome. Without soil health there is no plant health, no animal health, and ultimately, no human health. We do our best to contribute to the health of our eco-system through our farming practices. Rotational grazing and cover crops are at the forefront of that. Our pigs are moved on a daily basis to not only spread manure and wake up the soil, but to also prepare the land for a light tillage pass that can then be seeded with diverse cover crops. During spring and summer the cows are moved on our perennial pastures, where they feast on a beautiful mix of legumes, grasses and brassicas. In the fall, to allow our perennials ample time to set root and recover for winter, we move the cows onto the previously seeded cover crops to finish them for the last few weeks before their butcher dates.
Join us for a day of walking through our pasture and learning about regenerative agriculture.
Bring a good pair of shoes, or come with bare feet if you like, and come for a walk with us. Grab a coffee and hang out in the garden, learn where and how your food is produced. Dig a hole and look at what is happening below. Connect the dots, connect to the land and enjoy a day outside!

Welcome to our U-Pick!
You are welcome to take a self directed tour of our fruit, veggie and flower u-pick farm on August 16 and 17 and pick your way through our beautiful gardens!
We are a family farm growing U pick fruits and vegetables since 2009 starting with our first crop of strawberries which promptly got hit with hail! Days later there was a strong scent of berry juice, shock and heartbreak in the air. What an education!
Crops can be gone in minutes - frost on blossoms, drought and heat, hail and snow, it's crazy. What a business to be in! But it's not always horrible and we enjoy nurturing seedlings and seeing them mature into something people enjoy picking.
After a long Alberta winter's wait, the rush of Spring begins with planning and planting, tending, weeding, watering and sky watching. Cool Alberta nights produce the best tasting crops! And when it’s time, the invitation goes out via word of mouth and social media videos to come over and pick, pick pick! In 2023 we added more picking pleasure for our customers: a u pick flower garden!
Even though we are open to the public from 7am to 8pm everyday during the production months, we thank Alberta Open Farm Days and all the advertiser’s for extending another layer of invitation to come explore rural Alberta and Billyco Junction Gardens where we can be found tucked right between our major urban centres.

Old Station Honey & Mead
In or near: New Sarepta

We've taken up shop in the old fire hall in the hamlet of New Sarepta!
The building was destined to be knocked down, but we saw value in keeping the structure, which has played a large role in the history of our hamlet.
Inside, we take local honey (some of it our own and some from neighbours) and local berries and ferment the world's oldest fermented adult beverage: Mead. You may have read about mead in Viking novels or TV shows.
We offer FREE tours and tastings so people can become reacquainted with the history and place mead has in human history.
Alberta produces some of the world's best honey, so why not also build a meadery industry at least that's what we think.
