History Of Our Farm:

Our farm was first started back in 1775 by the Baldwin Family. Back then it was all about dairy. When Stanley and Beverly Tenney bought it, they continued with dairy cattle. They had about 60 in their herd. As time past, their sons Eric and Mark got older, with the market for dairy declining. Eric and Mark thought about what would be beneficial to the farm? In 1970, when Eric got out of the Navy, along came with introduction of farm fresh produce. Not in a large quantity mind you, they continued with the dairy cattle until 1972 (keeping the beef cattle). The first farm stand was opened in 1970 in the barn on Route 202. Greenhouses were put up in 1974 which brought the introduction of bedding  plants to Antrim. In 1978, the current farm stand was built. An apple cider press was built into the existing barn on Depot Street (where our" real thing" juice was started). The cider mill is now located below the farm stand, all are welcome to take a look when we are pressing. In the early 80's, the cattle were taken to market and all of the energy was geared towards the greenhouses and fields. The family decided to try the florist business in 1983. Linda (Eric's wife) and Mark, along with some local people worked many hours creating beautiful arrangements. With the next generation coming to age with new ideas, Crista (Eric & Linda's daughter) and her husband Chris, cameback from service in the Marines to add some zest to the farm. In 2000, we added an ice cream stand to the existing farm stand. We sell delicious all natural ice cream, hot dogs, fresh squeezed lemonade, and other yummy snacks! In the farm stand we also added many made in New Hampshire products. We have everything from freshly grown produce, freshly homemade pies (using our seasonal fruits), local breads, smoke house meats and cheeses, dried herbs, jams, jellies, relishes, pickles, pottery mugs/bowls, maple syrup &candy, coffee, and so much more!
