Yes, it is finally here... spring! The snow is gone (as is most of the mud, thank goodness), early flowers are poking their heads up, more and more birds are returning and buds are well formed and growing. The woodchucks have reappeared, and Lily is happily back on patrol.

While it may seem early, its good to look back and see all the work that’s been done so far...apple and blueberry pruning is complete, Paul and Andy have cut well over 20 cords of wood this spring which are neatly stacked near the apple barn, and we had a very good maple sugar season (sorry, folks, private stock only!).

So once again the familiar rhythm of spring chores has us firmly in its grasp, with the constant need to go as fast as possible to stay ahead of our short growing season.

We hope you are enjoying spring in New Hampshire or wherever you live. Watch this space and your emails for updates as we begin another season at the farm.

See you soon!

Paul & Nancy Franklin

Nestled next to the Connecticut River, Riverview Farm has been owned and operated by the Franklin family for 30 years.  Over those years we have grown from just a few apple trees to over 1,600 apple trees, acres of blueberries, three patches of fall raspberries, a huge pumpkin patch, homemade cider and
a corn maze.

We invite you and your family to come down to our farm, pick some fruit, ride the horse drawn wagon, wander through the maze or just enjoy an apple while sitting on the barn deck overlooking the Connecticut River.
