Richmond Country Farms

One of the best things about summer is all the local produce available. There are many local farmers markets operating throughout the Lower Mainland, and I occasionally stop by the Main Street market after work on Wednesdays. However, it is so awesome to have the Richmond Country Farms located in the same location, every day of the week, with set hours. It makes bringing home fresh, local produce so much easier. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the variety of local businesses at the Farmers Markets.

Richmond Country Farms is located off Highway 99 in the Steveston area of Richmond (this side of the George Massey Tunnel). It is open from April to late December with a special Pumpkin Patch in October. Most of their produce is from their own acreage but they also seasonally source from other local BC farmers. They also have a nursery and sell turf by the roll (to golf courses no less!).

Looks like a nice place. We don’t have Farmer’s Markets every day either, so a good alternative is a nice thing to know about.

Very nice! I just discovered a local option that allows me to shop online from local farms and restaurants, and then pick it up at a spot in town. One happens to be about a mile from the office… hmmm…

That’s one of my favorite places! And in Apple Season, they have OOODLES of different varieties of apples! All delicious!
Perhaps an outting is on the books for late September!
