This New Hampshire Farm Might Make You Rethink Grocery Stores

Just 25 minutes west of Portsmouth, there's a New Hampshire farm that might change how you shop for food.

Have you heard about the Vernon Family Farm in Newfields, New Hampshire?

Turns out, they have a year-round farm store where you can get local food.

The farm's website notes that it's run by a husband and wife, as well as the variety of foods you can get: chicken, pork, lamb, grass-fed beef, dairy, eggs, fruit, vegetables, dry goods, cold goods, prepared and frozen foods, and more.

Who really needs a grocery store when you have everything you need right at Vernon Family Farm?

An undying passion in life is my love for farm-to-table foods. Not only is it important to support local businesses, but it’s also beneficial for your and your family’s health.

Locally sourced food is considered fresher and has a shorter shelf life, giving you a faster, more natural time frame to enjoy it.

One of the farm’s standout offerings is their monthly Meat Box subscription, packed with locally sourced meats.

Each box includes 10–12 packages (10–12 lbs) of meat, according to the website. If you're a big meat fan...

I also found out that the farm sells local pet food for cats and dogs (made with their own non-GMO pastured chicken and grass-fed beef), has gluten-free foods, and even partners with The Daily Haul to offer fresh-caught seafood.

Sure, you could spend an afternoon strolling through a grocery store looking at the shelves, or you could switch things up and try something more local.
