Restored to its original condition, the inside of the farmhouse is a popular locale for visitors to the farm. People are free to roam the surrounding gardens and buildings as well at the wood panelled white farmhouse itself which showcases several rooms with period furniture and artifacts such as suitcases, toys, books, embroideries and sewing and other clothes making tools as as well as quilts and other interesting pieces. The house also contains a gift shop setting local artwork and preservatives made from the fruits and vegetables from the nearby gardens. One of the site's most popular venues is the Teahouse, a popular room on the ground level which serves tea and other snacks.
Operated by the city of Richmond and the London Heritage Farm Society, the farm offers special events and is also used for weddings, parties and other celebrations. This interesting and small acreage is a fun place to spend an hour discovering Richmond's interesting agricultural history.
