August is the month for Family Farm Day at London Heritage Farm, a celebration that offers live music, arts and crafts, and entertainment for kids.
The farm is a historical site with a restored farmhouse from the1880s that was occupied by the London family.
The farmhouse now includes a tea room, a small gift shop and six display rooms replicating life at the turn of the 19th century.
When I attended recently, the farm and its park were filled with people enjoying a wide range of family-friendly activities.
The activities included pony rides, rabbits meet and treat, a raptor display by OWL, kids woodshop building projects, Lego building, balloon twisting and face painting.
All of this took place in a four-acre site with heritage gardens, community gardens, agricultural exhibits, a chicken coop, beehives and a beautifully restored house from the Victorian era.
