Tellman Hill Farm is 187 acres of hilly fields and woods in Whitefield, Coos County, NH.
This farm is located on N’dakinna, which is the traditional ancestral homeland of the Abenaki, Pennacook, and Wabanaki Peoples past and present. We acknowledge and honor with gratitude the land and waterways and the people who have stewarded N’dakinna throughout the generations. Old cellar holes, miles of stone walls, and heaps of rusty axe heads, buckles, and horseshoes speak to its history of European settlement dating back to at least the early 1800s. In the 1900s it was run as a dairy farm by the Harris family, many of whom still live in neighborhood. In the early 2000s, the Tellman family purchased the property and placed a Conservation Easement on it, which is held by the New England Forestry Foundation. In 2019, Emily and Doug met the lovely Tellman family and began the next chapter of farming on this land. We chose to name the new farm operation after the Tellman family in honor of their contributions to conservation and dedication to the stewardship of this land. |
