OUR STORY
Our farming story is our love story. We fell in love working outside in all elements with plants, animals and the land. Put simply, farming is our love language! Not only for each other but for our local community and the earth.
​
We spent 5 years running Nubi River Farm while leasing land from Nubanusit Neighborhood and Farm, a cohousing community in Peterborough, NH. During this time we learned a lot about farming in our climate, working within community and working together as a couple. Over the years we started envisioning and working towards the farm we wanted to build on our own land.
​
In 2026 Nubi River Farm became Homeplace Farm. We are still located in Peterborough, NH now on family owned land where we grow a wide variety of Certified Organic veggies and raise chickens for eggs. We are working on building our "homeplace" by planting fruit trees and building infrastructure. You can find our veggies and eggs at Nature's Green Grocer, Roy's Market and the Peterborough Farmers' Market on Wednesdays from 3pm - 6pm.
We are passionate about growing Certified Organic, nutrient dense food and sharing our farm with our community. Get in touch! We love sharing our farm with others.

Committed to the health of the soil, plants, and people.
At Homeplace Farm we are committed to the health of our soil, plants and people. For us, this means taking great care of the land with minimal tillage, growing organically, the use of crop and animal rotation, cover crops and having fun while we work. We grow on a little over two acres and in numerous hoop houses where most of our tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and beans are grown. If you have questions about our growing practices, please ask!
