Hemingway Farms

We are open on weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm and on weekends from 10 am to 5 pm. Our farm is located in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley of southern New Hampshire. This property has been used for agricultural purposes for several generations. In the early to middle 1900’s the property was an operating dairy farm. In the 1970’s this property transitioned to a working vegetable farm and two gree

nhouses were constructed on the property for ornamental plants. During the 1980’s and 1990’s ornamental plants became the main focus of the farm. Chris and Amy Hemingway purchased this farm in 2002. Over the past years, we have expanded our growing capacity with the addition of greenhouses and reclaiming fields left idle for many years. Today, Hemingway Farms grows a full range of vegetables, berries and ornamental plants for sale at our farm stand. Our production is composed of seven ornamental and vegetable greenhouses, outdoor vegetable production of over 40 acres and two acres of berry production. In addition to sales at our farm stand, we wholesale vegetables and berries to certain restaurants and markets. We operate a farm stand and garden center that is open from mid-April until Christmas. We grow our plants and crops following Integrated Pest Management (IPM) guidelines published by the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and Cornell Cooperative Extension. We are continually building healthy soil on our farm using sustainable growing practices such as growing cover crops to reduce erosion while adding nutrients and organic matter to the soil. Composts and manures are also used on our fields to build soil organic matter and add nutrients while reducing conventional fertilizer use. Regular soil and water testing allows us to specifically target any nutrient or pH changes that need to be made for a particular crop to succeed. Our field crops are grown on a corn starch based mulch that is completely biodegradable in our fields with no toxic residues and no plastic waste to dispose of each year. We utilize drip irrigation throughout our farm to reduce our water and fertilizer use. Throughout our greenhouses we use beneficial insects, microbes and fungi to control the “bad” insects and fungi. We take a lot of pride in the ornamental and edible crops we grow on our farm and we believe that thriving agricultural farms are vital to the local and regional economies, food supply chain and aesthetic value of our rural area.
