About the Monadnock Region

The Monadnock region is named after Mount Monadnock , which presides over the peaceful valleys and charming vistas of South Western New Hampshire. This quiet region of the state is "the road less traveled" and those who visit return year after year.

There is no major highway to get you here, although it is a mere two hours from downtown Boston. You won't find large shopping malls, just quaint New England villages, and for the nightlife you'll have to make do with the sounds of peepers and crickets.

The region offers its visitors many natural splendors such as Mount Monadnock, Cathedral of the Pines, and The Rhododendron State Park. There is a covered bridge tour, Historic Inns to sample, residential working farms, and our berries to pick. If you would like more information about this region, click on some of the links below.

	Even on a hazy day you can see Monadnock Berries from the top of Mt Monadnock (the most climbed mountain in the US). It works the other way around too - bring a pair of binoculars to our farm on a clear day and you can see the people standing on the summit of the mountain!
