Friday, June 14, 2024- UFA Co-operative honours farmers and ranchers who grow our food!
At UFA locations, Farmer's Day festivities are in full swing, with an exciting range of events from sizzling barbecues to fun games, all in honor of our hardworking farmers and ranchers. UFA's Farm Store Managers and Petroleum Agents, extend a warm invitation to everyone in their communities to join in the fun! To find out what’s happening near you, visit UFA.com/FarmersDay.
Every year, the second Friday in June is set aside as a special day to celebrate and recognize farmers and ranchers' vital role in our communities. UFA has celebrated Farmer’s Day since 1945. In fact, it used to be a provincial holiday where kids had the day off school to spend time with family between the busy agricultural seasons. This year, the 115-year-old co-operative is saying hats off to farmers in some extra special ways.

From farm to fork, the impact of the agri-food industry is felt in rural and urban communities alike, and UFA is thankful for the support from its urban partners. In honour of the day, city centres will be lighting up landmarks like the Calgary Tower, Lethbridge City Hall, and Edmonton’s High-Level Bridge, in UFA's colours of orange and green.
UFA has great deals lined up for customers and a fantastic contest to win a $1,000, $2,000, or $3,000 UFA Gift Card. Ballots are available at all UFA locations, or people can enter online at UFA.com/FarmersDay.
