4worldlovers: Richmond Country Farms has been family-owned and operated for over 40 years! The market is a unique and lively place to shop. The vibrant agricultural heritage of Richmond, B.C., has helped make our Farm Market a popular attraction for local shoppers and visitors alike! During the growing season, we provide our customers with our own grown corn, strawberries, brussel sprouts, potatoes, broccoli, kale, watermelon, blueberries, pumpkins, and multiple varieties of squash- we can assure our shoppers of the very best local produce at the very best prices. We are proud to be one of the very first farm-to-table markets in Richmond, having opened for our first season in 1978. We practically invented the 10-mile diet!

The Lower Mainland climate offers excellent growing conditions for an incredible variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Our farm and local, small-scale, family farms cultivate many unusual, heirloom and unique varieties that cannot be found in regular grocery stores!

A friendly reminder to all that Richmond Country Farms is not a petting zoo, and to please not touch or feed any of our animals that live on the farm- this is to ensure the safety and well-being of our animals, and our customers.

4worldlovers: We are taking a sabbatical year to rest, rejuvenate and explore our next steps. After 10 years of farming in Surrey we have decided to take a break. We will not be returning to farm in Surrey, but hope to find ourselves a forever farm somewhere in BC soon.

We grow delicious, sustainably produced vegetables and eggs on our small 1.5 acre farm. We utilize growing practices that improve soil biology and encourage a diverse and complex farm ecosystem. We don’t use any synthetic chemicals or pesticides. We’re doing our part to minimize our carbon footprint by providing food to our local community.

Stay up to date on exciting events and upcoming news from our farm.

In 1924 Doug’s great grandparents moved to this piece of land and built a homestead with cows, pigs, chickens, veggie gardens and hay fields. They also created a country escape for all their city friends to enjoy on the weekends. Over the following decades the Zaklan family utilized the land for various agricultural endeavors. In its current form, Zaklan Heritage Farm was officially established in 2013. Today, some 90 years later, their legacy lives on. Although different in many ways the farm still brings city folk out to enjoy a bit of our farm oasis.
