Athiana Acres and its Events in Steveston
Athiana Acres is a 30-acre farm that opened in 2022. It’s located just outside of Steveston Village and close to the southern edge of Richmond.
Athiana Acres promotes itself as an organic and “regenerative” farm. It uses techniques like crop rotations, cover cropping and a lack of artificial chemicals to create a more sustainable ecosystem. The farm is open for public tours on Sundays in the summer and fall. As of 2025 the tours cost $5 per person and give the chance for visitors to see how the farm operates.
There are also a few big events that happen at different times of the year at the farm. One of them is a series of floral workshops on the Mother’s Day weekend in May. Participants get to create a beautiful bouquet of flowers to take home while also learning about different ways to make their own personal flower gardens.
Where is the Farm?
Athiana Acres is located at 12800 No. 2 Road not far from Steveston Village in Richmond. The farm is about 1 km northwest of London Farm and about a 15-minute walk from the historic Britannia Shipyard.
The farm is in the south of Richmond, which means it’s closer to places like Delta and Ladner than it is to Vancouver. It’s about a 40-minute drive from downtown Vancouver in good traffic.

The workshops happened in the Athiana Acres greenhouse and cost $160 per person to attend. The price included snacks and the vase that participants took the flowers home in.
