Year-round events
In January 2007, the Mahoney family moved with their two sons to Brookford Farm in Rollinsford, New Hampshire. With access to 200 acres of grass and their prior experience, they knew that dairy was exactly where they wanted to begin. Early on, they shipped milk to Organic Valley and sold a small amount of raw milk and cream on the side. The local market for their bottled raw milk and other dairy products grew and in the spring of 2010, they decided to step away from the cooperative and direct market their products. Noticing a local demand for good food, the Mahoneys also began producing pastured meats, eggs and vegetables.
With the help of Gary and Meg Hirshberg, New Hampshire Community Loan Fund and family and friends, the Mahoneys found a permanent home for their farm in Canterbury, New Hampshire. In 2012, Brookford Farm moved its entire operation and staff to the new 613-acre site.
Brookford Farm is diversified with 35+ acres in certified organic vegetable production. The farm is also home to cattle, hogs, lambs and chickens, all rotated on pasture as the seasons allow. Their cows and lamb are 100% grass fed and the pigs and chickens are supplemented with non – GMO grain. The farm’s products are distributed to a 250+ member year-round CSA, restaurants, retail stores, home delivery and farmers markets. They also have a farm store on site that is open 7 days a week. Milk from their dairy herd is bottled raw or turned into a wide variety of dairy products at their creamery.
