Hidden Wonders Farm
An opportunity of a lifetime awaits you at our one of a kind, secluded 70 acre Central New Hampshire farm! Even though you will not want to leave the farm, Boston, The White Mountains and the Seacoast are all less than an hour and a half drive! We are seeking a hardworking, self-motivated, couple to temporarily take over and revitalize our small family farm operation in exchange for beautiful private living space, farm food, farm income, experience and more! Due to family illness this past spring much of our farming venture has sadly been put on hold.  A new business and family priorities still temporarily preclude our attention to the farm. 

 

We milk a few cows, raise a few hogs, 1000+ meat chickens, layers, tend a quarter acre veggie garden, a 1 acre field an half acre apple orchard, an expanding wine vineyard, and fruit beds. A new 3/4 acre hops yard will be planted spring of 2014.  We use our Oxen, "Black and Tan" for field and forest work and "Bear" the easy-going saddle horse likes a leisurely trail walk. At the end of a long day cool off in the pond or unwind in our own Nano-Brewery!

 

Applicants over 18 are selected not based on race, gender, age or religious /lifestyle/political preferences, but on individual aptitude and compatibility.
