Swallow Ridge Farm
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 in New Hampshire. The only ingredients are local, fresh, raw cow’s milk, salt, cheese cultures, herbs, spices, and enzymes from around the world. No animal rennet is used. All of our cheeses are aged a minimum of 60 days. The aging enhances the flavor and texture of our cheese. No artificial flavors, animal growth hormones, or 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 and others in larger batches. We do not have all the cheeses all the time, as some will be aging and not ready for sale. We hope you will try our available cheeses and are sure you will enjoy your selection.
Thank you—Peter B. Kress, cheese maker.

B.Blossoms
I grow seasonal flowers alongside nature, so they are environmentally and pollinator-friendly. I offer fresh-picked blossoms for your own arranging or our casual garden-inspired bouquets.
Each new season presents new varieties of blossoms, colors, and scents. Spring begins with Hyacinth, Narcissus, and over 25 different varieties of tulips, which bring a spectacular display of color, a welcome delight after the grays of winter—closely followed by Anemone, Ranunculus, Peony and Garden Roses, some of the fanciest flowers of the whole growing year. Summer brings on a boutique of annuals and perennials, which are available until the end of September. During the fall, I use my own dried flowers to create everlasting bouquets and wreaths.
In 2016, I retired from my corporate job to care for my elderly parents, both with varying degrees of dementia. During this part of my life, I started planting flowers around my yard. I had vegetable gardens in the past, but never really dabbled in flowers. The more they bloomed, the more obsessed I became. At some point, I read an article about people who were selling cut flowers and thought to myself, win-win! Like all other farming, it’s hard work. Thankfully, I’m just a farm-girl at heart, and I like to play in the dirt.
It all began in the fall of 2018; I planted 1600 tulip bulbs and made plans to grow annuals in 6 4’x75’ raised beds. This experiment, to see if I could actually grow and sell flowers, was successful. I started to sell arrangements from a small kiosk in my yard. I learned a lot that first year. In January 2020, I signed up for Floret Flower Workshop, and that was the start of “B. Blossoms.” Although I’m not certified as organic, I use organic practices. I’ve expanded to high-intensity growing on 1/10 of an acre and now have a small high tunnel to extend my growing season. My big plans this year are to heat the tunnel and have tulips, ranunculus, and anemone blooming from Valentine’s Day through May.
Always remember, beautiful flowers make people happy…
Make sure you stop by the Candia Farmers Market to see all the beautiful flowers I offer each month.
