DIRECTIONS TO THE FARM:

Heading west on Route 101 from Manchester, take a RIGHT onto JOPPA HILL ROAD about a mile and a half past the Weathervane Restaurant. The farm is about 1.5 miles up Joppa Hill Road on the left.

Heading east on Route 101 from Nashua, take a LEFT onto JOPPA HILL ROAD, approximately 3 miles past Salzburg Square. The farm is about 1.5 miles up Joppa Hill Road on the left.

When you arrive at the farm, enter through the gate and there are several tables available for a nice family picnic. You can wander among the gardens and animals. There are cats, goats, sheep, alpacas, horses, chickens, and ducks that are friendly and happy for a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears. They have community gardens and teaching gardens around the grounds that have a variety of herbs and veggies growing.

Once you’ve seen all the animals head through the gate and down the lane past the bunnies and alpacas and you will come to an old farm road that forms a T with an overgrown pasture ahead of you. Go left on the JFH loop trail (red blazes). Walk a short way down the road and you will come to a place that looks like a rock slide on the left. Find the large rocks that are piled up against a larger tree. A peek in the nooks and crannies will find what you seek.

Please be courteous and discreet and rehide box well when done. Thank you=)
