This blog records the growth and development of the Richmond Urban Farms, started by Arzeena, Luc and Susan. Arzeena bought herself a real farm and Luc and I carry on growing food for our CSA, in Joyce's back yard. We want to learn how to grow food a full range of food. We hope our experiences are useful to others.

Our first ever farmer's market
We took a leap of faith and loaded up two carloads with veggies to take to the first Gastown Farmer's Market in Vancouver.
We had a wonderful time talking to locals and tourists who were very appreciative of organically-grown food in the downtown core. A couple of friends, Asifa & Sharon came to lend us a hand and provided most welcome relief for bathroom breaks.
We'd like to go back and are hoping to make it on August 23rd. We'll be selling our garlic, flowers, and lots of salad greens.
Please come by the market if you have some time - there was fantastic bread, grapes, fruit and flowers too.
