We are Will and Victoria a husband-and-wife team that started our small urban farm, Cora Hillside Micro Farm in 2020. After moving to NH in 2018 looking for a simpler life and some space we realized we wanted to learn more about being self-sufficient. While trying to figure out how that would work with our busy life’s we realized Will had quite the green thumb. We originally had a small garden in our back yard which has slowly graduated to our entire front yard. As we learned more about fruit forests and permaculture we couldn’t seem to get enough. That’s when Will decided he wanted to take a stab at growing Micro Greens. He did tons of research to learn about how to grow them, what they would taste like, what they could be used for, where to get the best products and seed, and their health benefits. For the last three years we have turned what started out as a hobby and a way to provide for our family into a labor of love where we are able to provide delicious products to our local communities. Though we are not certified organic, we take pride in our products by using organic practices.
Here at CHMF our customers can find that our Micro Greens and Fresh Eggs are offered year-round. We have both chicken and duck eggs and an array of Micro green choices including sweet pea, rambo radish, spicy salad mix, sunflower, and broccoli. Though our micro green menu can change the choices listed are favorites that often stay on the menu. During the Spring, Summer, and Fall months we offer other fresh produce. We enjoy the growing process as well as knowing we are providing our customers with fresh organic greens at a reasonable price.
We both continue to work full time jobs and grow our fresh products in our free time and have really enjoyed the experience of meeting other farmers through learning. Will continues to work as a machinist in Plaistow and is able to extend our services in that area. Victoria continues to work as a social worker in Manchester. On the farm we have 35 chickens that lay us a variety of colorful eggs, 2 Great Danes, 2 playful cats, and an iguana. To say we are busy is an understatement but that’s just how we like it! We look forward to sharing our product and our journey with you!
Our story started in Salem, New Hampshire, where owners Jason Knight and Shane Sorenson spent their childhood. Best friends from a young age, Shane and Jason built BMX bikes, raced go-karts, created huge forts, and when they got a bit older, started brewing their own craft beer.
Their brewing ambitions in the beginning were simple: to make cold, refreshing beer to share with their friends and family. Over time, Shane and Jason became inspired by the blossoming New Hampshire craft beer scene and started experimenting with some new brewing methods and innovative ingredients. After years of successful home-brewing, Shane and Jason grew so skilled in their craft that there was nothing else to do but to start operating on a larger scale. They renovated an old building in Londonderry which would become the future site of Long Blue Cat Brewing Co.
This will be their second year offering free tastings and sales of their great beers at the Candia Farmers Market.

Barkalicious Dog Treats, LLC
Est. 2021
Cara and Stanley Karpinski
Being a dog lover and having three dogs of our own, we decided to open a small business that makes preservative free, human grade dog treats. We have a 6 1⁄2 year old mini Australian Shepherd named Chewie, a 5 year old mini doodle named Buttercup and a rescue Aruban Cunucu named Lexi who will be 1 this year.
Being new to the New Hampshire area, we did not have any contacts or even know how to get our products to potential clients. We did our research on how to start this type of business, we sent our treats to be analyzed by a lab and then registered by the Department of Agriculture. After that long process, we found a really great local farmer’s market where we could sell our treats and they seemed to be a hit! We have since been approached to join other markets as well as pop up events.
We understand that the market is flooded with many different types of treats, but we felt we were not getting the quality that our special pups deserved. Our dog treats are made with real meat, real food and baked with eggs from our own chickens! Our treats are large, so they can easily be broken up and given on separate occasions. They store well in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks or can be kept frozen for a few months. We also recently started making specialty dog birthday cakes. Even the frosting is dog safe!
One of our biggest sellers is our chicken jerky. We slice fresh chicken and marinate it in our secret (dog safe) marinade and then dehydrate to the perfect consistency for that chewy, delicious texture. Even us humans like it too!
In the near future, we would love to expand to small local shops that carry artisan items. My hope is to share our passion for what we do to a larger target area. Thank you Southern NH for such a wonderful response to our preservative free dog treats! We hope to see you soon at a farmer’s market near you!

Swallow Ridge Farm Cheese Company is located in New Boston, New Hampshire. The artisan cheese crafted here at Swallow Ridge Farm is produced from raw milk collected from local area family farms. Milk is tested for antibiotics at each collection and again at our factory. The factory is inspected regularly by the New Hampshire Department of Health. Peter studied cheesemaking at the University of Wisconsin and founded the State of Maine Cheese Company in Maine where he produced cheese for 16 years. His latest adventure in cheesemaking began when he founded Swallow Ridge Farm Cheese Company, built a small artisan cheese facility here on the farm and has been making cheese since 2020.
At Swallow Ridge Farm Cheese Company, we produce small batches of artisanal cheese using quality raw whole milk from small family farms located here in New Hampshire. Local, fresh, raw cow’s milk, salt, cheese cultures, herbs, spices, and enzymes from around the world are the only ingredients. No animal rennet is used. All of our cheeses are aged a minimum of 60 days. The aging enhances flavor and texture of our cheese. No artificial flavors, no animal growth hormones, and no antibiotics will be found in our cheeses.
We use old world methods to produce our cheese in Copper and Stainless Steel vats. We make all of our cheese in 10 pound wheels using special cheese forms from Holland. Our modern cheese factory is inspected and licensed by the State of New Hampshire.
We currently produce about 14 different kinds of cheese, some in small batches, others in larger batches. We do not have all the cheeses all of the time, as some will be aging and not ready for sale. We do hope you will try our available cheeses and are sure you will enjoy your selection.
Thank you. Peter B. Kress, cheese maker.
