Winchester, NH

Jenny and Bruce Wooster, first-generation farmers, own their 71-acre certified organic farm — cultivated by other farmers for many generations before them. Most recently, the farm was a dairy farm, run for 35 years by the Hudson family. In 2006, the Woosters bought the farm with its fertile Connecticut River Valley soil. Each season, produce is grown on twenty-six of their acres and soil-building cover crops on nine. Permanent erosion-preventing plants grow along the field edges.
