Nearby Hanover, NH, is just a 12 minute drive from Fairbrothers Farm.

The Farm sits at the geographic center of Grafton County, New Hampshire, and Windsor County, Vermont, voted #2 and #10 respectively in 2006 in Progressive Farmer’s “Best Places to Live in Rural America, Northeast”

Abundant streams run cold and clear throughout this enormous New England County. A drive through the county reveals wonderful little towns such as Bristol, Plymouth, Littleton and Hanover, home of Ivy League’s Dartmouth College. And in between the towns are crossroads stores where you can find just a little of everything. On the hillsides lie green pastures and stark white aspens; in the bottomlands, crops. In so many of the important categories we considered – crime rates, health care, the quality of education – Grafton County ranks high in the United States.”

From the intimate cafes and hidden side streets of classic New England towns, the Upper Valley’s rolling countryside and farmland offer the quintessential rural New England experience.
