Ural Farms

3 sites · Lodging, Tents150 acres · Edson, AB

Nestled on the south slope of a hill, our property boasts breathtaking views of Woodlands County. We're fortunate to offer 40 acres of working farmland and 80 acres of forest for you to explore. The forest is crisscrossed by several creeks, with underground springs occasionally bubbling to the surface. You'll have plenty of opportunities to forage for wild raspberries, bunchberries, and other nature's delicacies. Keep your eyes and ears open to catch glimpses of the area's diverse wildlife, including deer, grouse, owls, moose, and more. Surrounding the property are working farms, adding to the authentic rural ambiance. You might hear cows grazing in the morning and evening, or farm dogs barking from a distance, but we believe that's part of the charm of the area. One of the best things about our property is that there is no cell reception, allowing you to fully disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and appreciate the tranquillity of rural Alberta.
