Sanborn Meadow Farm

A neighborhood farm growing quality real food.

"...no other human occupation opens so wide a field for the profitable
and agreeable combination of labor with cultivated thought, as agriculture."
- Abraham Lincoln

Welcome to our farm!

Ten years ago, we bought this run down, overgrown 24-acre farm with a neglected house in central New Hampshire. Since then, we’ve developed a small market garden business, raised poultry and bees, selling vegetables, eggs and honey along the way, all in our attempt to contribute to the diversification of our food system. Our farm itself has evolved as much as our small business and each year has brought us new challenges and adventures.

Growing real food in a way that feels right and creating the special place we call home have been the ideas at the foundation of all we do here. We continue to build on these ideas as we transition away from the more entrepreneurial side of our farm business towards continuing to develop our property into the homestead we love. Our little patch of rocky New Hampshire soil has something special, a magic that drew us in the very first time we saw it. Developing more gardens and wildlife plantings to enhance its uniqueness will now be an important part of our farm, one that was put on the back burner while we focused on the “farming” part of our adventure.

Join us as we share our passion for growing real food, tend vegetable and flower gardens, work on projects to enhance the beauty of this place and create pollinator and wildlife-friendly spaces to heal this once neglected property.
