Helen Brody is the driving force behind the New Hampshire Farms web site.

Helen serves on the advisory board of the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food and  is a director of the New Hampshire Farm to Restaurant Connection.  She  is also a member of the New Hampshire Farm Bureau,  New England Farmers Union and New Hampshire Made.

She began life on a Maryland farm with chickens, an apple orchard, and a large vegetable garden. The versatility and efficiency of the farms in her adopted state spawned her book New Hampshire: From Farm to Kitchen. While researching the book, Helen found it difficult to locate one source that adequately conveyed the unique history of each farm and the personalities of those who own them. Her hope is that this website, designed to showcase New Hampshire farms,  fills that void and elicits an appreciation of  New Hampshire  farms and farmers. A loftier goal is that the site will also increase support of small farms around the country. Their preservation assures a healthy population, food security, and land preservation.

As noted in each profile, farms encourage local  support  whether at farm stands, at the farm door, at markets, or for overnight stays.

Helen welcomes feedback on the web site. She can be reached by phone at (603) 252-5299 or by email through the Contact Us page.
