I’m up in the MWV area and I’ve seen a few people nearby come and do the same thing. Tamworth area seems moderately popular for a few of these folks. Check out Zero Mile Farm…I bet they’d be glad to share some insight with you.

Property taxes folks say are high, but they are localized…meaning that each township will decide what to set them at for you, individually, based on your property. Property with a view, for example, is taxed higher. Ag may be lower. Some townships are lower across the board.

We don’t produce for income, just hobby for fun, but I will add that the soil here needs more amending than it might in Vermont from what I’ve read. If you’re planning on livestock that’ll get you there, though.

We sold our wethers to a big farm up North of Littleton. I think there’s a great ag community over there, too. I can’t say anything about the more Southerly parts of the state.

I will definitely check it out, if you don’t mind me asking did you start off with raw land or a pre-established property?

We don’t even have ag zoned property. We bought an old farmstead with a barn an acreage. Previous owners had kept horses so there is great fencing. We might do horses one day, but like I said it’s just a hobby for us. We have kids and I’ve a full time, corporate job.
