London Farm School Program

London Farm

Step into the shoes of a farmer for a day at London Farm. This outdoor adventure is all about fun and learning how we give and take from nature, from past to present. Students will discover which fruits and vegetables that can grow in Richmond and why; find the best tool for planting potatoes; make some discoveries about chickens; and re-enact a busy-bee! Prepare for a program full of laughter, exploration, and a growing love for the earth. Each junior farmer will take home a small seed pot planted by themselves, ready to watch it grow, and be cared for.

For younger students in pre-school and kindergarten, a one-hour program will include an egg-citing egg hunt in a small area of the heritage farm.
