We are proud to announce that we have been awarded the New Hampshire Farm of Distinction honors by the NH Department of Agriculture, Markets & Foods. This program was started in 1997 to recognize NH commercial farms that make an effort to keep their farms pleasing in appearance by maintaining buildings in good repair and keeping fields well tended. In addition to taking care to maintain the beauty of the land, we have also placed high importance on adhering to GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) and promoting the use of locally grown food by supplying produce to the Hannaford grocery store chain. We are honored to have been recognized for our efforts.
The strawberry season is all done for this year. Thanks to all our loyal customers for being so patient this season. Unfortunately the fields we planted last summer were flooded out several times so we had fewer strawberries than in years past. We are hoping the new field we planted for next year will be much better. See you then!

Description of our seedless straw process
Peachblow Farm seedless straw is winter rye that is planted in the fall and is cut in mid-June before pollination is complete therefore there are no viable seeds. This technique also eliminates the problem of weed seeds because the rye grows so thick, the weeds don't have a chance. If some weeds do get by, like in thin spots, the mid-June cutting date gets them when they are immature. This process also prevents invasive plants from being spread.
Straw is usually a by-product of producing grain. Most straw used in New Hampshire is imported from western New York and Canada where there is more grain production. Because the straw is a by-product of the grain it may contain weed seeds and the seed of the crop that escaped the combine. Straw grown here at Peachblow Farm is the main crop so no seed is harvested and therefore the straw can be produced in a seedless manner. It is a superior product and also has the benefit of being local to New Hampshire consumers.
Seedless straw is very useful in mulching strawberries, garlic, new lawns, and gardens. It is acceptable for use by organic farmers as a mulching material or soil amendment. It can also be used for bedding dogs and horses and for construction of straw houses.
We have dry firewood in pallet boxes The boxes are measured when sold and priced at $350 per cord. The pallet boxes can be loaded directly into a pickup for ease of handling. We can accommodate deliveries through a third party.
Field stones are available in large quantities for $30/ton. Small quantities are also available, but price would be negotiable. These stones can be used for walls (as seen in picture gallery), ditch drainage, etc. They vary in size from pebbles to boulders and come in a variety of shapes and colors.
We are sorry to say, but we have made the difficult decision to post our pond area so that will no longer be open for public use. Unfortunately, we have had increased incidents of it not being used responsibly and this is the best way to preserve it. We appreciate your understanding.
