About Strafford County, NH

Spring has arrived in New Hampshire recently, and for me, that means several things. First, it the end of a long, busy winter. Second, it means new plants and crops are being tended to.

A local favorite for my family, Butternut Farm, located in Farmington New Hampshire. They offer some of the best quality fruits and vegetables in the area. Butternut Farm is a pick your own farm with the option to also purchase produce from the farm stand. The selections of fruits includes, strawberries, raspberries, apples, peaches, plums, and blueberries. They offer tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, and even have a very large pumpkin patch!

Usually opening in June, the fruit schedule is as follows:

Strawberries...........mid June-early July

Raspberries..............................July

Tomatoes..........................July-Sept.

Sweet Cherries..........................July

Blueberries.................late July-August

Peaches......................late July-Sept.

Apples.....................late Aug-October

My family has been coming to the farm for the past 3 years now. A recent discovery that I have to thank a former agent in my office for. A favorite for us is to visit the farm at least once per month. We enjoy picking the fresh fruit and making jams and jellies with it. My seven year old son never leaves hungry, I think every time we visit they should weigh him before he picks and after! There is a wide variety of apples for making apple sauce also. Another family favorite.

I have a good, legitimate buyer that has been waiting for a home on Merrymeeting Lake for some time. If you are a Merrymeeting Lake waterfront home owner PLEASE EMAIL ME. If you are not interested in putting your home on the market but would consider selling, we could set up a one-time showing for this particular buyer.

If things do not work out with this buyer and you would still like to sell, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and I can certainly help you continue to market your property. Either way, if you are interested, shoot me an email.

Looking for a a great place to take in scenic views of New Hampshire's Seacoast?

Check out the Garrison HIll Tower, located just off Central Ave. in Dover New Hampshire. The tower, standing at 298 feet gives visitors scenic views of New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. On a good, clear day, visitors can get views from Mt. Washington, all the way to Boston.

Looking back in history. The hill has had structures built on it, dating back as far as 1880. It is said that native Americans built a wooden tower there to observe the land. The city of Dover purchased the hill and the land in 1888 when a more modern tower was built. By 1913 a small ski slope had been constructed for the local community to enjoy. By 1970 the tower had been worn with wear and tear, and had to fenced off due to safety issues only to be later restored by local citizens. Most recently in 1994, the tower was rebuilt at the site of the original structure.

One of the greaest things about the tower is that it is free to the public. Anyone form anywhere can come and visit and enjoy the scenery. Just a quick 5 minute drive from my office, the tower is a place that I like to take new visitors to the area. I invite you to take a look someday. Give me a call if you are in town and would like to take a visit to the tower!

No, this is not the typical nursery rhyme that you might be used to. This seems to be a practical joke played in Durham New Hampshire for April Fools day.

The six foot high cardboard cut out was placed on the dam atop the Oyster River in Durham New Hampshire. A great joke for the day if you ask me! I'm sure it may have brightened the day for some people, or even give a few laughs for those who drove by and were able to see him in person.

I guess with all of the craziness going on in the world today, just a little Humpty Dumpty can make you smile! Enjoy the day!
