What IS A HOMESTEAD? Ask Heather Goodwin of Goodwin Family Farm, she does it all! She goat herds, tends to chickens, Angora rabbits, ducks, mini-ponies (no soy for her animals only fresh, local hay) and grows pesticide-free, no herbicide vegetables. Oh! Did I mention she raises 4 children? For this year's Monadnock Grown Farm Tour on Saturday, August 15, 12pm- 5pm, she's offering a fantastic scavenger hunt for kids and craft making (because she has the time!).

Prior to launching Bending Branch Farm, Dan and Megan Field did stop-motion animation and theme park animatronics across the country. The life of a farmer is ALWAYS curious. If they're not goat tending, they are fashioning newer, tasty goat chèvre. Our favorite is Lemon Blueberry. Eat it with a spoon🥣🐐Visit with the Fields, sample tasty goat cheese, and meet their herd at this year's 2026 Monadnock Farm Tour, Saturday, August 15th, 12pm - 5pm.
