Burnaby Self-Guided Farm Tours







With Tourism Burnaby and support from the City of Burnaby, we have developed and released a
self-guided map listing participating farms and nurseries that are
opened to the public within Burnaby�s Big Bend area.





Did you know that Burnaby has some of the most productive farm land in the region?



Did you know that there are a number of active farms, and related businesses, in South Burnaby that you can visit?



At last count, 43 farms were in operation in Burnaby, growing everything from cranberries to zucchini!



Take the whole family along on this self-guided tour of some of the agriculture sights of Burnaby�s Big Bend.



Visit Burnaby�s �country in the city� to shop for fresh local produce,
tour impressive greenhouses, meet some farm animals, and try some tasty
treats - all close to home!
