Great dog walking on the class VI road that continues at the road's conclusion. With a babbling brook my dog hydrated, pooped (which contained short sections of the beef teriyaki sticks he stole Friday night), and a trail to a cemetery. We walked it, my son and I, but it kept going too long. Maybe we go farther next time. And there will be. Oh, the apples are delicious!

We met the owners and had a wonderful chat before grabbing a large web sack for apples Sue wanted for several apple crisps she had planned on making. Though the orchards are relatively small in comparison to something like Butternut Farm, it's just a beautiful setting out there. I had a great time dragging the wagon along behind Sue while she gathered up her quota. We ended up buying a large pumpkin as well, had a great time, and would drive up here anytime just to walk around. It's just beautiful. Check it out!

So we decided to check it out. The farm is a nice visit. We were greeted by Nancy, and her energetic dog, Guss. We picked up a bucket, given a quick tutorial on the best way to pick blueberries, and off we went. We picked nearly a pound of blueberries in about 45-50 minutes. It was a nice activity. We tried some of the blueberries and they were delightful. Nancy was very pleasant and friendly. Worth stopping by.

When you walk up, they hand you however many buckets you want to fill. I like how you can put them around your neck so you can pick berries with both hands.

We were looking for…read moresome activities that didn't require Blue Light Glasses (PTSD from Zoom'n 24/7 lol) for the family while we journeyed through the New England States. Turns out BLUEBERRIES are a big deal here! Also found out there are a lot of options all over the New England states to PICK YOUR OWN BLUEBERRIES! Alright, let's get yelpin'! We looked for blueberry farms on our route from Boston to Maine, but struggled to get ones to answer their phone or were closed for the season (late July 2021). Sadly, not many options on Yelp either. To our good fortune, though, Keenan Family Farms answered the call and fit our time schedule for travel! Yay! Here we come Keenan Family Farm! So off to New Hampshire we went! We used Google Maps to find them, and it worked out just fine. Small sign on the roadside "Pick Your Own Blueberries" pointing us in the correct direction. Also note a small blue farm stand sitting in the front driveway. Grass lot off the road for parking was easy to get in. Followed the blueberry signs to the back and found Ms. Candice in the back lounging, appearing to be waiting for our arrival. Pleasant lass to chat with, down to earth, seemed to enjoy sharing this experience with the world! No strict rules to contend with. Pints or buckets are the options for holding containers. 100% organic grown here, so you can eat straight from the bushes even! This was our first family outing picking anything and it was a fun time! We spent over an hour wandering and leisurely picking to our hearts' content. Solid family bonding time! Once we were done, we gathered back at Ms. Candice's table, happily paid for our loot, graciously thanked her, and off we went, chowing down on blueberries for the rest of the drive. We were able to refrigerate our blueberries every day and they lasted a week before completely finishing them. So pretty nice not having to stuff our faces all at once! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Yummy blueberries to nom nom on, solid OUTDOOR family bonding time, pleasant owners to interact with... what's not to love about any of that!?! Enjoy!

I got searching for lavender related activities and found this wonderful farm less than two hours away from where we live. I had to try the lavender ice cream with swirls of honey. The lemon square also had hints of lavender. Staff were friendly. We didn't get to check out the store but overall, this farm does a wonderful job with what they offer though there could certainly be more activities perhaps. It was nice to walk around the fields of lavender and watching the bees having a great time. I think there could be even more lavender if they really want to make an impact. Parking was plenty and free. A lovely spot to visit

The idyllic hills and surrounding trees make this a lovely walk. The tour guide was informative and fairly friendly. The staff kinda led us a little stray from the tour when we arrived, but they figured things out. The museum itself seems a lot more low-key than Hancock Shaker, the latter being a more vast museum and includes more exhibits and things to see, such as farm animals. With this museum, you'll get a good sense of Shaker living and see some of their aspects of their lives. However, the tour guide will give you a richer sense of what they did and why. The Shakers are an intriguing and interesting people and definitely worth a look. The gift shop offers various Shaker crafts and books. Plus there's a video in the back on the village that you can watch for free. You can go into some of the individual buildings, but many of them were closed, which was a little discouraging and felt limiting. So while I do think this was a good visit and still worth it, Hancock Shaker is a better place to go to learn about the people. (I haven't been to Sabbathday Shaker in Maine yet)

This was one of our best stops in New Hampshire. The Canterbury Shaker village is the only Shaker…read moreCommunity that became a museum while residents stilled lived there. The Shakers were not like the Amish in that they embraced technology and were one of the first villages in New Hampshire to use electricity. (The Shakers and the Quakers were also totally different groups.) The buildings are original, as is most of the furnishings. I HIGHLY recommend you take advantage of the free guide, who will take you into many of the buildings and explain how and why the Shakers were so successful. As you may know, the Shakers were celibate and it seems inevitable that they would die out. However, many people joined the group because of their views about peace and harmony. Also, they willingly adopted orphaned children. These children grew up in the village and frequently stayed, so that the number of people actually increased for over 200 years. This village is well worth the stop and I very much highly recommend this excellent experience.
