Alberta agriculture has a story to tell beyond the farm gate. The work of raising animals, growing crops and tending bees is connected to the work of creating foods and beverages people can enjoy at home, on the road and around the world. At the Tri-National Accord on Agriculture, the Made in Alberta showcase brings those stories together through the companies and products behind them.

The people behind the products

As we mark the International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026⁠, we’re celebrating women’s contributions across the food system. Many of the businesses featured here are owned or run by women. Their stories show the care, ideas and determination behind the products we enjoy.

At Winter’s Turkey, that story spans four generations on a farm near Dalemead. The family is celebrating 68 years of raising turkeys in 2026. Laurel Winter grew up contributing to the family operation and returned in 2015 as its full-time farm manager. Today, she and her family are carrying that farming tradition forward.

Drizzle Honey began with an unexpected assignment. Founder Aja was working as an environmental scientist in 2014 when a rooftop beekeeping project introduced her to harvesting honey. That experience sparked a lasting love of bees and the beginning of Drizzle’s story.

Penny and Tony Marshall of Highwood Crossing have built a food business around a belief that what we eat is connected to the land where it grows. Their organic granola reflects their commitment to uncomplicated food and to supporting local organic farmers in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Chidera Ogueri of Zohbo knows that building a food business takes resilience. When early packaging problems affected product quality and finances, she found the help to improve the formulation and rebrand. The support of people who believe in her product continues to motivate her through the challenges of growing a company.

For 7 Summits Snacks, a wish for better chocolate to fuel hikes, rides and runs helped plant the seed for a business. Co-founder and COO Kristyn Carriere credits Leanna with the original product idea. What began as a conversation about a snack that felt right for active people became the chocolate energy bars featured in the showcase.

In Edmonton, DON’YA Ukraine’s Kitchen grew from a community effort to welcome Ukrainians arriving after the 2022 invasion. Newcomers who had received support came back to volunteer, cook and share their food traditions. Today, DON’YA produces Ukrainian food for Alberta grocery stores and employs more than 20 Ukrainian newcomers. Its apple croissants are one small taste of a much larger story of community and belonging.

Debbie Gust, president and owner of WOW! Factor Desserts, leads a family business that has operated from the same Alberta location since 1982. It now employs more than 100 people while keeping handmade desserts at the heart of its work. The company has also spent decades providing packaging work opportunities for people supported by Edmonton’s Robin Hood Association.

In the Peace River region, Sharon and Gilbert Wolfe have grown Wolfe Honey from Gilbert’s first 50 hives into a large organic beekeeping and processing operation. Now they’re passing their craft to the next generation, as their children help the family business continue to thrive. Their hot honey shows how a farm product can become something new while staying connected to the place where it began.

These are the people and businesses adding value to Alberta agriculture: taking an ingredient, building a product, creating jobs and finding new customers. If you’re at the Accord, stop by the Made in Alberta showcase to explore their products and stories. For everyone else, we hope you’ll keep an eye out for these amazing companies as they continue to add to the Made in Alberta story⁠.
