Before Richmond Centre, Aberdeen Centre and the other vibrant neighbourhoods, the City of Richmond (also known as Lulu Island) was sought after by early pioneers as farmland with its rich, organic and fertile soils. As time progressed, Richmond started to attract more and more residents, which in turn slowly transformed the area from a rural, farming-based area into a modern, urban centre.

Although the agriculture industry remains a quintessential part of Richmond, the aging trend of the workforce is worrisome. With the younger generation becoming more and more disinterested in working in the agriculture sector, or carrying on the family business, the age gap widens year by year. In order to reduce the age gap, it is important to understand what goes on behind the scenes of the food and vegetables that we purchase. Through engaging with our local farms and farmers’ markets, people of all ages can interact and learn the difference between a local farmers’ market and brand name grocery stores. Not only can we do our part in supporting our growers by purchasing from local farms, we can also be sure to obtain the freshest produce that are readily available.

Richmond Country Farms, located on 12900 Steveston Hwy, is one of the biggest farms you can find in Richmond. Having been in business for over 40 years, it has grown in popularity among local residents and those from nearby communities. Customers can expect to find corn, strawberries, potatoes, brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale and much more at the Richmond Country Farms. Each October, all patrons can visit the gorgeous pumpkin patch to pick out their favorite pumpkin for the spooky holiday.

a. ride on the tractor drawn wagon to and from the pumpkin patch
