About Richmond Country Farms
Richmond Country Farms is a family-owned and operated farm that has grown produce and welcomed visitors on Richmond’s Steveston Highway for more than 40 years. What started as a roadside farm stand has grown into one of the Lower Mainland’s most visited agritourism destinations, combining a working farm market with animal encounters, u-pick offerings, and a rotating calendar of seasonal events.
The farm sits alongside Country Vines Winery, a separate family-run winery on the same stretch of Steveston Highway, so a visit here can easily be paired with a wine tasting next door.
The Farm Market
At the heart of the property is the farm market, a bright, lively stand selling fresh-picked produce, baked goods, and seasonal treats grown right on site. It has become a popular stop for local shoppers as well as visitors exploring Richmond’s agricultural side, with a small pond area near the market that makes for a relaxed spot to pause between stalls.
Meet the Farm Animals
Visitors can walk through the barnyard area and meet the animals that call the farm home, including goats, chickens, pigs, horses, donkeys, llamas, ducks, geese, and cows. It is a favourite stop for young children and one of the reasons the farm draws repeat visits throughout the year.
Seasonal Events
Richmond Country Farms is best known for the seasonal events held on the property throughout the year:
- Pumpkin Patch: Runs from late September through the end of October, with wagon rides, a corn maze, weekend train rides, live music, food trucks, and a pumpkin to take home.
- Richmond Sunflower Festival: Held in August, transforming acres of farmland into fields of sunflowers, dahlias, and gladiolas, with wagon rides, food vendors, and photo spots throughout the blooms.
Dates and hours shift slightly from year to year, so check the official site before planning a visit around a specific event.
Visitor Tips
- Fields and pathways can be muddy, especially in fall, so wear boots or closed-toe shoes
- Bring a bag or small wagon if you plan to carry home produce or pumpkins
- Parking is free and located on site, just off Highway 99
- Leashed, well-behaved pets are welcome in outdoor areas
