Our Story

 

Tomapo Farm has been a family owned and operated farm since 1769, when Nathaniel Storrs trekked from Storrs, Connecticut, to carve a farm out of the forest that grew on granite-based, Lebanon, NH  The farm has remained in the family for eight generations, passed down to sons and daughters (and their husbands and wives) with variations in the diversities of production with each generation.  Being generation number eight, Dennis and Heidi Bundy, with the help of family, continue the traditions that stem from the original crop, forest.  Our primary diversities at present include the processing and sale of firewood, milling lumber from Tomapo Farm trees, and producing quality New Hampshire Maple Products with the sap from our  maple orchard.

The best part of what we do is the people we meet.  Tomapo Farm has entertained folks from all over the world who have come to find out what New Hampshire is like.  What fun to introduce them to a unique agricultural product, both delicious and nutritious, that has its roots in the history of our beautiful country.  We want people to develop a yearning to return to this region again and again.

As a family, we have opened our land to the community as a location for recreation.  A portion of the property is utilized by the Lebanon Recreation Department as part of a local ski area where families may come and ski inexpensively.  Folks regularly walk, cross-country ski, run, snowshoe, hunt and trap in the fields and woods.  Families are encouraged to experience sugar season by tapping a tree with us, while learning about sugaring and agriculture in general.  Visit our Grafton County's Champion Big Butternut Tree, planted by Grandfather Amasa, or wander through our Monarch Butterfly "sanctuary".
