Open for the Season at Springledge Farm, New London, NH

We’re fully stocked with beautiful Easter lilies, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, pansies, Easter grass and more Spring items to celebrate the season. The farmstand is now open for the season. Monday-Friday 10-6, Saturdays 10-5:30 and Sundays 10-4 (closed this Easter Sunday). Our Easter Lilies are grown from top-size bulbs, meaning they have more flower buds per stem and larger flowers. We make sure they are at just the right stage for the Easter weekend.

This Friday, we’ll be taking delivery of The Good Loaf artisan bread including some special Easter Breads. We are harvesting more fresh Springledge spinach, carrots, micro greens, pea shoots and some mustard and pac choi greens from the cold frame.
Of course we’ll have Beef from Star Lake Farm, Rocky Cannoli’s Pies, McNamara Dairy in Glass Bottles from Plainfield, NH, Honeycrisp Apples from Carter Hill Orchards in Concord, 2010 Maple Syrup from Springledge Orchard (Bill & Ki Clough), Pansies and spring bulbs & Walpole Creamery Ice Cream is back!

Our greenhouses are filling up with snapdragons, supertunias, alyssum, tomatoes, herbs, perennials and much more.

Some of the many new annuals for 2010 include
Petunia ‘Debonair Lime Green’,
