Coppal House Sunflower Festival

Yesterday I was thrilled to make it out to Lee (which is a bit of a trek from New Hampshire Farms HQ in Cheshire County) for the annual Coppal House Farm Sunflower Festival. The $12 price of admission gives you access to explore their magnificent fields of sunflowers, which they use to produce the cold-pressed sunflower oil that’s available for sale in their farm store. The sunflowers are swarming with fat, fuzzy bumblebees. They also have a variety garden with a stunning array of flowers. You can admire some of their sheep and adorable lambs (but please don’t touch; this is a real working farm). I was there very late in the afternoon on a weekday, and unfortunately all of the food trucks and the beer garden had closed down for the day. But I didn’t mind, because I already had dinner plans at the popular Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery in nearby Raymond. I had a ribeye that was out of this world! If you like flowers, or just want an excuse to pick up some pasture-raised lamb in their farm store, I highly recommend attending this wonderful event!
