A message from  Gail McWIlliam Jellie, Director of the Division of Agricultural Development for NH:

This year the Department of Agriculture and NH Division of Travel and Tourism are partnering to create two consumer resource maps: New Hampshire Agriculture Resource Map and New Hampshire Garden Trails Map.

About these maps:
New Hampshire Agriculture Resource Map: goal is to consolidate a variety of published booklets (Farmers’ Market Directory, Pick Your Own, etc) into one comprehensive map/brochure that will include, but not limited to, resources such as Farms, Farmstands, Farmers’ Markets, Pick your Own, Orchards, Dairies, Wineries, etc.

New Hampshire Garden Trails Map: goal is to promote garden, floral and other horticultural activities such as educational workshops and classes, tours, demonstration gardens, etc., as well as sources of NH grown plant products and to create a “trail” of these opportunities that interested parties may follow throughout the state or regions of the state. All New Hampshire businesses or organizations that offer such activities are invited to sign up.

Each map will be created and printed separately – but both will consist of a comprehensive map, divided into New Hampshire regions, with listing all of the state’s agricultural and garden resources including contact and other relevant information for each business listing.

Maps will be distributed via NH Welcome Centers, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, Agriculture Fairs, NH Made partnership, and other avenues TBD.
We are very excited to create this map on behalf of the agriculture industry and we need your help to get started. If you would like your business to be a part of New Hampshire’s Agriculture Resource Map and/or the Garden Trails Map, please join us by providing your information for your listings. This is a free listing! Our goal is to print the map by the end of March, so please send in your completed form by Monday February 15, 2010. Information received after that date may not be able to be included.

Sincerely,
Gail McWIlliam Jellie, Director
