Moulton Farm, Meredith, NH

There’s something special about a farm that has watched more than a century of seasons come and go. At Moulton Farm, tucked into New Hampshire’s beautiful Lakes Region near the northern end of Lake Winnipesaukee, farming is both a tradition and a promise to the future. Since the 1890s, the farm has been part of the local landscape, growing good food while caring thoughtfully for the soil that makes each harvest possible.

Sustainable agriculture is at the heart of Moulton Farm. Throughout the growing season, the fields offer an ever-changing abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits, from sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and eggplant to broccoli, cauliflower, squash, melons, and much more. Visitors can bring the harvest home from the farm market, where Moulton Farm’s own produce shares the shelves with carefully selected foods from other New England farms and small businesses, including cheeses, meats, poultry, seafood, fruits, and tempting specialty treats.

The farm’s bounty continues in the kitchen and bakery. The scent of freshly baked pies and breads might lead you toward the bakery, where coffee cakes, cookies, whoopie pies, and other homemade favorites await. In the farm kitchen, soups simmer, sandwiches and salads are prepared, and appetizers and ready-made meals make it easy to bring a little taste of the farm to the dinner table. Later in the week, seafood lovers can also find fresh, high-quality seafood brought directly from Boston’s fish pier on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

For gardeners, Moulton Farm offers plenty of inspiration beyond the vegetable fields. Its garden center is filled seasonally with annuals and perennials, flowering shrubs, fruit trees, soil amendments, and supplies for creating a thriving garden at home.

And sometimes the best part of visiting a farm is simply wandering through it. Summer brings the colorful pick-your-own cutting garden, where visitors can collect a bucket and scissors at the market before heading among the blooms—and, often, plenty of butterflies—to create a bouquet of their own.

When autumn arrives, the farm takes on a different kind of magic. Families can search for the perfect pumpkin in the pick-your-own patch, then see if they can find their way through the corn maze. It’s the sort of place where an errand for fresh vegetables can easily turn into an afternoon on the farm.

With deep roots in the Lakes Region and an eye toward generations still to come, Moulton Farm brings together local agriculture, homemade food, gardening, and seasonal traditions in one welcoming destination. Whether you leave carrying a warm pie, a basket of just-picked produce, a bouquet of flowers, or the pumpkin destined for your front porch, there’s always a little piece of the farm to take home.
