Located in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, the 1780 Farm LLC was originally farmed beginning in 1780 by John Darling and his children. As the Children grew up and married John gave them land to homestead. Nahum Darling and his wife Betsey Goodridge first built here in 1808. Later the land was purchased by The Historic Pine Grove Springs Hotel on lake Spofford.
During the late 1800's through the beginning of the twentieth century this farm provided the vegetables and other foods required for what was a huge summer vacation destination for city folks from New York and Boston.
We are a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and proudly grow vegetables, grass fed beef, pork, chickens and eggs using sustainable farming practices. We grow only what can be sustained within our 35 acres. Our animals feed naturally without hormones or medications. We have u-pick Blueberries and we will provide you with a picnic basket with a days notice so you can take a nature hike, and farms tour in our forest. Overnights for couples arranged in advance. We offer full and half vegetable and meat shares. Working shares available.
We welcome interns and wwoofers as space allows.
