Good evening!! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am no longer an administrator on the page as of later tonight. My husband Joe has completed his 2 terms as President of the NHFM and had to step down from the office per the NHFM Board of Trustees bylaws. Because he is done I have decided to step away also so that we may move on to the next face of our lives. We are so excited to be able to have time together doing other activities we enjoy!!! Just wanted to thank everyone who has been so kind in sharing, commenting and following the farm page. We have enjoyed meeting so many of you at our events and talking with you through our texts and posts. Our page went from about 112 to over 6,100 followers during my time. It is my hope and wish that this page keeps growing by leaps and bounds from everyone continuing to comment, share, and follow!!!!
Kim is now the main administrator for the page and she is amazing!!! She will do a wonderful job as administrator!!!!! Even though Joe and I are stepping away…we will not be strangers to the farm and their events….we are already planning on attending the September Granite State Street Rodders car show in September as well as The Great NH Pie Festival!!!
Thank you to everyone from Joe and Tammy Bailey!!!!!❤️🌻

Does anyone know of an ice cream truck vendor who would be interested in joining the farm to be a regular vendor when we have events each year?
It would be great to have one with all the other food vendors.

Thank you in advance
