Spectacular Sun, Peak Foliage for Final Pumpkin Picking

Picture perfect morning in Londonderry, New Hampshire!

Matthew Thornton pictures this week and last, just in time for Peak Foliage! Peak foliage arrives with the farm fields full of fruit to pick! Raspberries are still available at the farms one of the longest U-Pick seasons of any fruit we offer, it will be until July 1010 when these vines fruit up again. The trees are still full of apples, the cold weather brings out the flavor in these late season apples.

Peak for the last pumpkin picking weekend this year
Moderate Leaf Drop

Our winds were not as heavy as those in Boston last night so if you are heading up from Massachusetts to view the foliage you can be assured the leafs are still on the trees. You will see the marsh trees and some roadside trees without the color or even the leafs, the rest of Londonderry is at peak foliage!

The foliage still wet from the night rains is sparkling in the sunrise this morning. A spectacular photo opportunity for you and your family. We see people searching for “scenic foliage routes” to drive in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Once you are off Route 93 at or have landed at the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and head into the country all roads are scenic drives this weekend. The state things a dozen or more are but believe us, foliage and farms mix!

Take exit 4 or 5 off 93 to visit our farms and foliage in Londonderry. Dozens of air carriers fly in to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport handling nearly 4 million passengers last year!

The big Agrativities today will be

Fresh unpasteurized cider is ready now at Sunnycrest. This is the best place to pick up your cider it is fresh and ready to during right now. You can also let it sit around for a little and you will have a very nice adult beverage. This product is raw and not recommended for very young children. Or any children if you do brew up a batch of Hard Cider.

Pick up some fresh fruit, do some U-Pick and don’t forget the pies and fresh eggs at Merrill’s farm in North Londonderry! The hens have been producing all night just to have them ready for you this morning. You may be surprised at how these eggs cook up and taste, those “local brown” eggs at the store can not compare.

Lderryfam: I’m OK with it. Check random drivers in NH for sobriety. Check random people in AZ for citizenship. It’s all for the greater good.
admin: Michael may be onto something, wonder if this is a requirement of the court when they get permission. Next time we are with a Lt. we will ask them.
Angie: Didn’t the town just put the kybosh on some minor changes Mcdonalds wanted to make? Some color changes? So if there’s power in the town to squash something as ridiculous as that,...
John Robinson: I didn’t mean to imply otherwise!
Angie: I realize it’s sent to media outlets. I didn’t mean to come down on Steve and Kathy. We all appreciate the news they give us day in and day out. My question really was why the...
Maria K: I have to agree with a lot of posts that Londonderry is quickly losing it’s look and feel, thus losing appeal. I have not attended one of the developer’s mtgs but plan to...

John Robinson: I understand why you might ask the question, but please believe that Steve and Kathy are the last people in town who would try to help drunk drivers avoid their comeuppance. –jr
Angie: Why is this announced? Good point by Resident. Just do it “stealth” so they never know what’s about to hit them.
Bill: I like this. I want that included. The developer says that it will be considered. The developer wants to work with the town. The town wants to be fair with the developer. It’s all...
Bill: Don’t count on it. Churches are tax exempt. Besides I believe Londonderry zoning allows churches to be built ONLY on rte 102 and Mamoth Rd.
Resident: Yeah, hopefully this post isn’t to help people who should be caught, avoid it.
Bill: Brian, We have always been told that our obligation was the $5mil the taxpayers appropriated. Now you’re saying that we could be on the hook for actually an uncapped amount? That $15...
