Eccardt Farm

We bought premade quarter lb hamburger patties terrible will never buy again most of their meat is very good these taste like the cheap shaws burgers texture is very strange.

Buy local. Keep our farms in busy. Meats are top quality.

We come every chance we get, their ground beef is top notch. Of course the cows (especially the babies) are our favorite but we love to see the pigs, horses, and goats too. Last time we went they had a baby peacock too, so cute.

7/9/25–Day 4 of 10 in New Hampshire. Today, I had what I call “a craving only New Hampshire can satisfy”—raw milk. While relaxing at a peaceful lake house near Sunapee, I told my husband, “Let’s go find some!” I had already located a farm that sells raw milk, but just to be safe (and not sorry), we called ahead. When you've traveled the world like I have, you learn that it's always smart to call first—some surprises are better left for birthdays, not farm visits. The 30-minute drive felt like a scene from a movie: winding roads, old wooden houses, unpaved streets, and tiny towns—some dating back to 1776. I was so taken by the view, I forgot to check my phone. As they say, “When the journey is beautiful, time forgets to count.” When we arrived, I saw a few people chatting around a table outside, totally at ease. I stepped into the small store and instantly knew this place was a hidden gem. Shelves were filled with treasures—raw milk, eggs, sausages, maple sugar, butter cookies, beef tallow, and even beet tallow (which I now know exists!). I picked up a little of everything for us—except the fresh meat. As much as I wanted to cook a feast, it’s just the two of us, and we don’t need to be eating steak for the next seven days. What really impressed me? The farm uses the honor system. Yep, I wrote down what I bought, stuffed $45 cash into an envelope, and dropped it in a little mailbox. Just a heads-up: there are cameras, so if you’re thinking of doing anything funny, remember—“Jesus doesn’t take a day off, and neither do security cameras.” After paying, I went to meet the locals—the animals. I spotted cows, horses, and yes, pigs (not usually my favorites, but they were close by, so I said hello). They also have goats, but I skipped that part—something about the pollen makes me feel like a deflated beach ball. All in all, I loved the experience. A quick, scenic adventure, filled with honest charm and delicious finds. I highly recommend it—especially if you're looking for a peaceful detour with a splash of old-time magic.

What can you say more about that farm? They have the freshest meat there the best taste and meat there their staff is unbelievable friendly will answer all your questions. They have many animals to see many animals to look at. They have ice cream there. It’s absolutely an amazing place to go with your children.

Fantastic place. Bought ice cream, sausages and milk and everything was very delicious. Was very fond of the coffee milk. While it is self service the employees were still very kind. Quality is so good it’s worth making a detour!
