Welcome to our farm and orchard. This farm was founded around 1820 by the DeMeritt family as a family farm. As such it would have produced the dairy products, meat, wool and vegetables necessary to sustain. The DeMeritt family owned the farm until approximately 1930's.

        In the 1940's the farm was changed into an apple orchard and many of the large trees that you see here were planted at that time. During the 1970's the farm had one of the largest dairy herds in the area.

        Mary Ellen and Roy Wilson purchased the farm in 1992 and took over active management in 1998. Today it has a total of 120 acres, of which 20 comprise of orchard. The farm is undergoing another transformation. New varieties of apples and peaches are being planted. A cross-country ski and nature trail has been constructed along with an additional pond and picnic areas. The farm will become a place where you and your family will come to spend an hour or an afternoon to enjoy the freshest farm produce and fruit.

        We want to create a healthy farm environment which will provide you and your family with many enjoyable memories. New varieties and sizes of trees are being planted which will be easier to harvest and provide greater taste experiences. We are also adding other features which will make exploring the farm an unforgetable adventure.

        In 2007, the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food named us a 'Farm of Distinction'. This award has only been given out to a handful of exceptional New Hampshire farms in the past 10 years. We are very proud to be included in this select group. This recognition makes all of the hard work we do each season worth it!

        We would love to hear from you as to what we can do to make DeMeritt Hill Farm 'your farm' for family fun.
