The Educational Farm at Joppa Hill is a non-profit farm set on 35 acres of public land leased from the Town of Bedford, New Hampshire. Open daily, it offers a variety of programs and activities aimed at preserving and sharing the region’s agricultural heritage with new generations. Visitors can enjoy garden plots, school field trips, summer camps, and agricultural fairs, making it a great educational resource. The farm is also a popular trailhead for hikers, horseback riders, and runners exploring the woods between Bedford and Amherst. Families and individuals often visit to meet animals like chickens, goats, and ducks, or simply to enjoy the peaceful farm atmosphere. The farm has a well-maintained environment with healthy animals and a large covered tent for picnics. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to feed animals for a small fee and to explore the trails, visit the pond, or have a picnic. The farm stand offers locally made sauces, syrups, vegetables, and other treats, adding to the charm. While the farm provides a quiet and relaxing space to connect with nature and animals, some note that during busy times, it can feel less educational and a bit lacking in attractions. Overall, it is loved as a family-friendly spot for bonding, outdoor activities, and enjoying the tranquility of farm life.
Great! Loved everything about it except the porta potties

Went for an event they were holding. They had carts for the kids you could use to walk around. The animals were very friendly and appeared to be well taken care of. The event was a little overpriced.

My granddaughter had a great time looking at the animals. I just don't like porta potties.
