Raspberry Farm

Heading west on Route 88 from Hampton Falls there is a place called Raspberry farm. Like all farms, it has a history about it. This blog is not to talk about the history, but if you travel about a quarter mile on the right you will see a parking space with a sign and a trail coming from the lot to woods. The sign provides background information and a map of the trail.

The map described that the trail takes you to the head waters of the Taylor River. This isn’t entirely true. If you go upstream, the river will cross Route 88 and will start near Kensington. Back to the trail, you will start in a field and enter woods. The trail in the woods goes around and eventually wind up back to the trail to go back to the parking lot.

For a while the trail follows the Taylor River. It appears like a brook. This is a scenic trail walking through woods. The area is under protection from the state and federal government. Websites associated with the Raspberry farm are as follows. https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/nh/newsroom/stories/?cid=nrcs144p2_015839 and https://www.tpl.org/media-room/raspberry-farm-property-protected. This is a great place to explore.
