Founded by Andy and Martina Howe, this special farm got its start operating out of a pick-up truck. Today, more than 30 years later, it's one of the best places to go for fresh goods. And the just-off-the-road location makes it very convenient.

While this is a great place to shop, it's also a fabulous day-trip. In the autumn you'll find a hay maze, lots of pumpkins and all those fall vibes you've come to expect here in New Hampshire.
