How To Get There

Welcome to our farms and craft studios. As you travel the back roads of New Hampshire in our glorious foliage season, follow the Sheep Signs to each Stop on our Tour. There is no set order to the Tour. The numbers on the map are for reference only. We encourage you to start wherever you want, to set your own pace and visit those Stops which interest you most. People often ask how long the Tour takes. We can’t say because each person’s interests dictate how much time will be spent at each Stop. Some people take three hours; others will spread their visit over the three days. Be certain we do not intend to rush you. We only ask that you leave your dogs at home; they upset our animals.
