My budget on the low end is 200k I’ve been pre-approved for the USDA Direct Farm Ownership Down Payment Loan so I max out at around 600k. My goal is to operate on a small to moderate level I have my business plan shaped around 30% produce and 70% livestock (chickens, sheep, goats, maybe a few dairy cows). I know the winters are pretty harsh so I definitely would have greenhouses for over wintering plants.

Look around Farmington, New Durham, Barnstead, Pittsfield - they are out of the way enough to not be prohibitively expensive but still far enough south to be close to the seacoast, Concord, the Lakes region & the mountains. They're mostly Zone 5.

No Im very grateful for your advice, I definitely am in the process of planning a trip out there for about a month to get a feel and see which area I truly love. I know there are a few more snow storms that are headed that way so I don’t want to go when I won’t be able to get the full effect. A few people gave me some resources to get in touch with local farmers so I’m definitely going to get on that right away for Monday. Again I’m grateful for you help and advice truly!
