About Foggy Hill Farm

Family-run in Jaffrey, New Hampshire

 

Recognizing a need for a community farm that serves local families, we, Christine and Andy Pressman, started Foggy Hill Farm in 2011. 

Each spring, we grow produce for our CSA and local wholesale partners on two acres of sandy loam soil. We maintain a small apiary and care for a flock of laying hens. In addition to our production gardens, Foggy Hill Farm has pollinator plantings, meadows, wetlands and forest that act as carbon sinks, provide shelter to wildlife, feed native pollinators and nourish our souls.

Christine grew up in Western MA, but first put on her farming boots in Virginia in 1992. Andy started farming and learning to keep bees near Athens, Ohio.  Years later, we met on a Virginia farm and our lives were changed forever.

Since then we have specialized in sustainable, hands-on farming that incorporates traditional farming techniques with cutting-edge appropriate technologies. 

Our passion for knowledge-sharing and farmer networks, natural resource conservation, and community resiliency extends into Andy’s work at the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), where he serves as NCAT’s Northeast Regional Director.

Foggy Hill Farm acknowledges that the land we care for was unceded from the Abenaki, Pennacook, and Wabanaki Peoples. We are grateful for the opportunity to be stewards of N’dakinna, the Indigenous homeland. We take this responsibility to heart.
