Popular Calgary Farm Welcomes Visitors Again
Butterfield Acres, the beloved educational farm located at 254077 Rocky Ridge Road N.W. in Calgary, Alberta, has officially reopened to the public after a temporary closure caused by an avian influenza outbreak. The farm, which provides hands-on agricultural experiences for families and school groups, resumed operations in early November 2025.
Addressing the Health Concern
The closure was implemented as a precautionary measure following the detection of avian influenza in the region. During this period, farm management worked closely with veterinary authorities and followed all recommended protocols to ensure the safety of both animals and visitors.
All necessary biosecurity measures have been implemented to prevent future outbreaks and maintain the health of the farm's animal residents. The reopening comes after thorough cleaning and disinfection procedures were completed throughout the facility.
Return to Normal Operations
Visitors can now return to enjoying the farm's popular interactive experiences, including animal feeding, educational programs, and seasonal activities. The reopening represents a significant milestone for the community attraction, which has been serving Calgary families for years.
The farm's management expressed gratitude for the community's patience and support during the temporary closure. They emphasized their commitment to maintaining the highest standards of animal welfare and visitor safety while providing educational agricultural experiences.
Butterfield Acres continues to be a valuable resource for teaching children and adults about farm life, animal care, and sustainable agriculture practices in the Calgary region.
