The Sharing Farm Our community farm grows food for the Richmond Food Bank on 4.5 acres in Richmond, BC with dedicated volunteer support. We grow food. We grow farmers.

We grow community. The Sharing Farm grows food to feed Richmond families in need. The Farm is run by community members for community members, and is dedicated to providing fresh, healthy, local produce to our less fortunate neighbours. The Sharing Farm operates on a small budget, but thanks to the generosity of our over 1,000 yearly volunteers and the devotion of a small core of part-time staff, The Farm is able to provide thousands of pounds of fruits and vegetables every year to community meals throughout the city and the Richmond Food Bank. Our vegetables are on the plates of up to 2,000 people a week!

Does anyone else feel like fall is setting in?

It is our hopes that summer isn’t quite over yet. Though when we look around the farm, there are many changes starting to take place. The cucumbers have all but stopped, the squash are firming and the leaves are dying off, and the strawberries and heirloom tomatoes are slowing down. But while our heat-loving plants have just begun to take notice of the crisp weather, our cool weather crops are absolutely thriving.

Luckily for us all, Leslie and Nikolai have planned hundreds of bed-feet of fall brassicas, root vegetables, and other produce to stock our shelves and your fridges for the months to come.

This next week or two are some of the most prolific for the farm. The overlapping abundance of summer crops and fall crops have appeared in full force at our Farmstands recently. The tables were overflowing with tomatoes, sweet peppers, and eggplants, alongside romaine heads, potatoes, onions, and celery, among many other items.

If you haven’t been to our Farmstand yet, we invite you to come see it in action, every Thursday 3pm-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm.

We’ve all been recovering from the high energy push of hosting over 4000 people at Garlic Fest for a celebration of community, food, nature!

Thank you again to our volunteers, farm team, board members, City staff, and event attendees for making it such a success!

We are both happy and sad to report that we sold out of garlic at the festival. If you weren't able to make it to Garlic Fest or you're looking for more garlic, we have made a list of spots you can find beautiful, organic garlic for both cooking and planting.

UBC Farm- culinary garlic
UBC Practicum (student-run)- culinary garlic
Earth Apple Farm- culinary garlic and seed garlic
Red Lion Farm- culinary and seed garlic
BC Garlic- culinary garlic

So what's the difference between culinary and seed garlic? Seed garlic is perfect for planting because it's been tested for disease. There are many plant diseases out there and they easily spread through soil, wind, etc and by planting infected seed into your own garden or farm. These diseases last in the soil for anywhere from a few years to decades.

Culinary garlic is essentially the same, but hasn't been tested for planting. You can eat either one!
