Autumn in New Hampshire means the daylight gets shorter, the sweaters come out of storage, and probably best of all, visions of delicious harvest meals come to mind. Perhaps nothing is more important to the latter than our local independent farms. They are a crucial part of our history and heritage here in the Granite State in addition to being economic drivers. One of the most charming New Hampshire farms can be found in Lebanon and it’s one that you should visit this autumn season.

Patch Orchards produces apples, cider, and maple syrup products for both its farmstand and for local retail outlets.
