The Rocks' Christmas Tree Farm Opens November 23

We're excited to host another holiday season at The Rocks — and the second year based out of the Carriage Barn! As usual, we will have lush balsam and Frasier fir available to cut your own Christmas tree, a selection of handmade wreaths, complimentary wagon rides, and locally made items for sale in the gift shop. We'll kick off opening day on Nov. 23 with a holiday craft fair. Then, the Christmas tree farm will be open daily from Nov. 29 through Dec. 15!

Support Farming for the Future: Help Protect Morrill Dairy Farm

The Forest Society is fortunate to be working again with the Morrill Family of Penacook to conserve the land base that supports their fourth-generation farm, located along the main stem of the Merrimack River just north of Sewall’s Falls and the Concord-Penacook border. Started by Rob Morrill’s grandfather in 1925, the Morrill Dairy Farm is approaching its centennial and has provided milk to the Hood plant on North Main Street in Concord for its entire history. We want to protect the land from subdivision and development while allowing for agricultural uses and recreation, including fishing, hunting, and paddling. To complete this project, we must raise a total of $263,000, including at least $100,000 in private donations.
