New Hampshire farming began with Native Americans who grew corn, beans, and squash in forest clearings. European settlers cleared more forests and planted apple orchards that still produce fruit today. New Hampshire became famous for maple syrup made from sugar maple trees that grow throughout the state. Farmers also learned to grow potatoes, corn, and other crops in the short but productive growing season.
New Hampshire has rocky soil left behind by glaciers, but farmers have learned to work with it to grow good crops. The state has mountains, valleys, and forests that create different growing conditions. Northern New Hampshire is cooler with shorter growing seasons, while southern areas are warmer. Maple trees grow throughout the state and provide syrup in early spring.
New Hampshire apples are ready to pick from September through October when the trees produce many old-fashioned varieties. You can pick strawberries in June and July when they ripen in the cool New England climate. Blueberries are ready in July and August and grow well in New Hampshire's acidic soil. Maple syrup season happens in March when you can watch sap being boiled into syrup.
Fall is the most popular time to visit New Hampshire farms when apples are ripe and the leaves are changing colors. Summer is great for berry picking with comfortable temperatures. Spring maple syrup season is special but requires checking with farms about when they're boiling. New Hampshire farms often have beautiful mountain views and historic buildings that make visits extra special.
