Flag Raising, Robert Berkhout with Bill London

Entertainment and friendly hospitality in a nostalgic setting is exactly what makes London Farm unique. Volunteer servers will always go the extra mile to make our guests feel special and give them something valuable to remember.

Father’s Day Tea and Antiques & Collectibles Fair are right in between the two other major events that take place each spring and summer: the annual Plant Sale (May 16 & 17) and Family Farm Fair (August 9).

The annual Plant Sale brought hundreds of visitors to the farm looking for some special plants or vegetables. London Farm is getting more and more involved in growing organic vegetables. This year we started growing from seeds donated by West Coast Seeds, a company well known in Western Canada and that established one of their first demonstration gardens on London Farm land some 20 years ago.

Hundreds of these organic vegetables as well as flowering plants that were generated from the English Garden were sold on seemingly a recession free Plant Sale. (touch wood)

We are looking forward to make next year Plant Sale even bigger, and more organic heritage vegetables will be available.

To keep up with our goals and to maintain the service we aim to give to Richmond and beyond, the London Heritage Farm Society is heavily depending on volunteers.  No volunteers means, No London Farm.  We are always welcoming people that want to give some of their free time and talents to help the farm living up to its goals.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog and hopefully we can soon welcome you at London Farm.

Robert Berkhout.
President
London Heritage Farm Society
