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 figuring out how that would work with our busy lives, we discovered Will had quite the green thumb. We originally had a small garden in our backyard, which has slowly graduated to our front yard. We couldn’t seem to get enough as we learned more about fruit forests and permaculture. That’s when Will decided to take a stab at growing microgreens. He did tons of research to learn how to grow them, what they would taste like, what they could be used for, where to get the best products and seeds, and their health benefits. For the last three years, we have turned what started as a hobby and a way to provide for our family into a labor of love where we can offer delicious products to our local communities. Though 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 chicken and duck eggs and an array of Microgreen choices, including sweet pea, Rambo radish, spicy salad mix, sunflower, and broccoli. Though our microgreen menu can change, the options listed are favorites that often stay on the menu. We offer other fresh produce during the Spring, Summer, and Fall months. We enjoy the growing process and know we are offering our customers fresh organic greens at a reasonable price.
We both work full-time jobs and grow fresh products in our free time. We have really enjoyed the experience of meeting other farmers through learning. Will continues to work as a machinist in Plaistow and can extend our services in that area. Victoria continues to work as a social worker in Manchester. We have 35 chickens on the farm that lay us various colorful eggs, 2 Great Danes, two playful cats, and an iguana. To say we are busy is an understatement, but that’s how we like it! We look forward to sharing our product and our journey with you!
