Went to North Meadow Farm today and had an amazing experience with my family. Our tour guide and her daughter were so kind and knowledgeable about all of the farm animals and went above and beyond to make our experience one to remember! We checked out the farm store at the end, which has a wide selection of food, skincare, drinks, and a variety of ice cream flavors plus much more. I highly recommend visiting this farm!
My whole family visited North Meadow Farm today and it was absolutely everything we wanted and more. Our tour guide and her daughter were so personable and we could tell how much they love this farm, the animals, and everything in between. The animals were the happiest animals I've ever seen- we were able to pet baby bunnies, the cutest baby cow in the world, goats, sheep, and so much more. It was incredible seeing how much love, passion, and energy is poured into both the animals and the whole environment. We will absolutely be coming back. If you're looking for raw milk, fresh eggs, cheese, syrup, beef tallow, and all things alike, this is for sure your place to go. Help support local and small businesses and give them a visit❤️
Would highly recommend this as an activity if you’re in the Manchester area. Our guide, Lisa, was informative, patient, and inclusive as we navigated the numerous areas of the farm with both young kids and a wheelchair. She spent lots of time with us to give ample opportunity to ask questions, pet, feed, and take pictures of the numerous animals. This far exceeded my expectations!
This working farm is just spectacular. It is a special place we have been taking our kids, family and friends to for the past few summers now and I cannot give this place enough praise. They do a wonderful job with the farm tours. It is a must stop place to visit!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
We had a great time with the kids, our your guide did a wonderful job!
Super friendly staff and adorable animals. Family had a great tour by farmers grandson. And kids enjoyed seeing everything. Also delicious products for sale especially the milk and cheese.
This farm is an absolute gem. My family and I had such a special afternoon receiving a guided tour from Lisa. We saw alpacas, bunnies, goats, donkeys, pigs, chickens, roosters, ducks, a sheep, and many types of cows (including Scottish highlands, Holsteins, Jerseys, and a couple other breeds)! Some highlights: holding the sweetest duckling that was only 6 days old, petting bunnies from recent litters and only 4 weeks and 6 weeks old, becoming pals with a friendly (yet stubborn) alpaca named Quinn, getting nibbled on by some goats, and catching the end of a dairy cow milking session. Lisa is full of stories about each of the animals, and it is evident that the staff at North Meadow loves their animals and makes a great effort to learn and instruct their staff exactly how to treat each one properly in order to keep them healthy and happy. Lisa answered all of our questions and was very patient and kind to our little one. Final note: highly encourage anyone in the area to stop by the store before leaving. We enjoyed the milk and ice cream, but the fresh yogurt, granola, and eggs also looked great. Thank you North Meadows, we’ll be back!
We decided to make a quick visit to the farm off of the recommendation from the innkeeper where we stayed. Lisa gave us a personal tour of all the sweet animals on the farm. We really appreciated her hospitality and willingness to share stories and answer questions. They also have a sweet farm store with lots of homemade goods. Definitely worth a visit!
Our visit to North Meadow Farm on 5/27/2026 was the best experience! Dave Johnson spend over 2 hours showing us around (all 9 of us - 5 adults and 4 children from Connecticut) despite the fact that we didn’t know that they don’t normally do tours on Wednesdays. He ended up NOT turning us away, but he took us to see the ALL of animals on the farm, and didn’t seem to mind that we took up so much of his time! He answered every question the kids and adults asked. We were able to interact with many of farms residents! I highly recommend this farm, He provided such great information for the little ones to be able to be interact with the smallest baby bunnies to the largest steer. It was great and we all have a fantastic day - Thank you very much and hope to get back there again!
A review from my 9yr old son: It was amazing. Our tour guide was so nice, all the animals were adorable, and I got to hold a bunny. I will never forget this place.
