Welcome to Joppa Hill
Educational Farm
Our mission is to preserve a working farm that provides enriching educational experiences, fosters community connection, and cultivates a shared appreciation for New Hampshire’s agricultural heritage and natural environment.
About the Farm
Joppa Hill Educational Farm is located at 174 Joppa Hill Road in Bedford, NH. We are a nonprofit farm run by two full-time staff members, a part-time groundskeeper, and over 100 weekly volunteers.
The farm is open 365 days a year from dawn until dusk.
Dogs are welcome but must be leashed.
See our Visit page for more information and a trail map.
While our farm is free to visit, we appreciate all donations to help support our operations! Operating our farm costs over $49K each month in 2025, and we receive no funding from the town or state. Your donations make what we do possible!
The farm stand is closed for the season and will reopen in April 2025.
