it's not really 6a on the coast, 5a, 5b are the growing zone for most of southern NH

Thanks for the correction, do you know if the last frost is earlier than upstate or is it fairly the same?

Last frost is earlier in the south, first or second week in May on average depending on the year.

If I had to guess, I would say your best bet for farming would be near the Western Side of the state south of the Mountains, near the Connecticut River, Claremont area. Land in the sea coast and surrounding areas or near the lakes/mountains is expensive
