Organizer
City of Richmond in cooperation with the London Heritage Farm Society.
The City of Richmond works in partnership and association with local cultural organizations, artists and local residents to help sustain and develop cultural heritage and individual expression as well as provide a wide range of cultural experiences and opportunities to residents and visitors.
The London Heritage Farm Society strives to preserve, celebrate and share the agricultural history of Richmond, and in particular, the London Heritage Farm. This beautiful piece of Richmond reminds visitors of the farming history of Richmond in the stories of the London family and the reminders of farm life from years ago. Looking into the past helps one to understand and appreciate agriculture as it is today, and provides a foundation for planning for the future.
