The Farm Studios-Garth "GGGarth" Richardson

A “lived-in” experience – The Richardson’s family music collection is on full display at The Farm Studios. From platinum records to Juno awards, there’s also one-of-a-kind photographs and signed lithographs – something to discover around every corner.

The Farm Studios embodies a relaxed, extremely comfortable and well-appointed atmosphere where you can truly let loose and feel at home.  

Choose the level of service you would like – The Farm Studios is flexible. Your experience could be fully catered, or you may want to immerse yourself into the woodland setting and cut your own firewood. We welcome your family should you want to spend your non-working hours building beautiful memories.

The possibilities are endless.

Outdoor Amenities

The Farm Studios boasts amazing views of the Georgia Straight, as well as mythical rainforest surroundings. There are two hot tubs: one large jacuzzi, which can “legally” hold eight people, which is off the Engineer’s Cabin and Producer’s House, and a four-person wood-burning Scandinavian-style spa is right by the Band House. There are plenty of open areas to sit in, a large garden and a massive clearing where bonfires are held on the regular (except in the summer months). 

Each dwelling has its own bbq area, fire pit and large deck, all with plenty of space to lounge and relax. Day or night, these areas are inviting and can be an alternate place to work when you need the forest air to provide clarity.

chill out and about

Although The Farm Studios is secluded, it is by no means isolated. The Sunshine Coast has something for everyone, all close by. The epicurean has much to do, from visiting craft breweries and distilleries, to gourmet eats and especially succulent local seafood.

If food and drink isn’t your thing, nature activities are magnificent – breathtaking beaches are less than 10 minutes away (oh yeah, and all up the coast), and nature trails abound, full of flora and fauna that will invigorate the foggiest of minds.
