London Heritage Farm Society

London Heritage Farm had a wonderful Christmas with lots of people dropping by to see the animals in the Christmas Manger! Everyone had fun in the tea room with the Christmas Carols as well.

Thanks so much to everyone who came by on Saturday to help with the fall grounds clean up. The farm is looking very lovely so make sure to drop by to enjoy this beautiful site!

We have started a Flickr page for the farm and have put up some photos taken on the weekend: http://www.flickr.com/photos/68787885@N07/

We are currently updating this website and blog and will have it going soon so keep checking back!

From Jerry Muir:

There was a significant amount of work accomplished over a short period of time: The allotment garden tool shed was painted, the lawn was mowed and edging done between the allotments, garbage was picked up along the road and the south and west side of the allotment area was trimmed and cleared of garbage.

Thanks again on behalf of the London Heritage Farm Society!

Come in this weekend for a warm Thanksgiving Tea!

Enjoy a walk along the water or around the grounds and then tea or hot chocolate as well as a scone and some goodies for $8.50.

We are open Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5pm.  Drop in and see this beautiful historic farm. There are lots of flowers blooming and the birds are singing. Inside we also have a nice gift shop with many special presents.
