FARM & FOREST
Since settlement times, the people of northern New Hampshire
and Vermont have worked the land to provide for their families.
That still holds true today.
FARMS
Our land once was home to many dairy, potato and sheep farms,
among others. Now the agricultural sector consists of mostly small
niche farms where hard working folks are growing produce, raising
chickens & beef cattle, producing honey and so on, to mostly sell
locally at farmers markets. New Earth Organic Farm in Colebrook
has become a leader in growing organic produce for the area.
A buy local movement is steadily growing, and thus, so is demand
for products. This trend in turn has presented opportunities
for entrepreneurs.
