Farm Programs in Northern Alberta, Canada

Campbell Land Programs

Hands-on farm experiences in Northern Alberta, Canada

At Campbell Land, our programs are built around real farm life, practical learning, and meaningful contribution.

This is not a resort.
It’s not a classroom.

It’s an immersive experience where you live, work, learn, and grow alongside our family and an international community.

Each program offers a different level of responsibility and commitment — depending on your goals, skills, and readiness.
