Plan a picnic lunch and about two hours minimum to visit the farm. At the far southwestern corner of Richmond, lies the historic village of Steveston. This once booming fishing village is still home to a major portion of British Columbia's southern fishing fleet. The popular Government dock still has public fish sales most weekends of the year. Stroll the pier and check out the numerous art galleries and specialty shops.
Seafood restaurants abound in the pier area.
Stroll along well-defined paths and watch the marine traffic head up the river. This historic shipyard was built in 1889 to serve the southcoast fishing fleet. The site also housed a cannery until 1980. The shipyard now contains the cannery and shipyard buildings, a Japanese house with a net loft and a First Peoples house. Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site Open from May to October, this exhibit showcases the commercial fisheries on the West Coast.
