Christmas decorating was in full swing at London farm House on November 1st in preparation for a busy Christmas season. Nancy Bell, Eileen Carefoot, Margarot Taylor, Wesley Skakun, Marilyn Stevens, Jenny Watson, and I spent the day hanging wreathes, packaging gift baskets, and decorating trees resulting in a wonderful transformation. Drop by soon and browse the gift shop for great seasonal gifts and don't forget to bring friends and family to partake in the wonderful Christmas baked goods and tea being served in the Tea Room. -Kathleen Beaumont, board member And thanks to Robert Berkout for putting up the Christmas lights on the house!

Calling all volunteers! The London Heritage Farm Society relies on volunteers to plan, coordinate and run the farm and all its activities. There are too many to mention personally in this limited space! Some of our volunteers who stand out and make everything happen include: Jenny Watson runs both the Tea Room and Gift Shop. Sally Mercer organizes the gardens and maintains them along with Eileen Carefoot, Margaret Taylor and Hope Wells. Jay and Elaine Scott, Lisa Roberge, and Monica Fung run the plant sale. Chris Meiner is a valuable source of information. Robert Berkhout is another very important volunteer who has been acting manager of the heritage farm.
This year the London Heritage Farm Society is recognizing three volunteers who have made major contributions of their time and expertise: Allan Coo Jane Rogers Marilynn Stevens
We also welcome our new volunteers Lynn and Harvey Snyder who dug right in and helped out when needed. Terry Toner and Daryl Day are our new caretakers who put up lots of extra hours making sure the grounds are beautiful.
