Welcome to the Farm in the Woods!
We are a small homestead located in Deerfield, NH and we offer specialty birdhouses, wood crafts and up-cycled metal art.
Our small apiary provides local honey and beeswax candles, and you’ll see our flock of chickens and ducks roaming around throughout the year. They provide the best chicken and duck eggs, with bright orange yolks – we sell the eggs locally.
Piper and Biscuit are our Nigerian Dwarf Goats, and Remi, Patches and Marley are our barn cats. All the feathered and furry little ones are watched over by Sammy, our livestock guardian dog. He’ll let us know when you arrive at The Farm in the Woods!

Sunflowers make the best seed buffet for birds in late summer to early fall. For longer harvest time, stagger your planting, early spring to midsummer. This way, you can attract birds for months. You can also gather your sunflower heads, put them in a dry place to dehydrate & hang them out by your feeders, extending the sunflower season all the way into fall.
“Jake" is slang for Firefighter, used almost exclusively in New England, and bestows great praise & respect. To be called a "Good Jake" is one of the best compliments that a Boston area firefighter can receive from a peer. Our Salty Jake is in honor of the many generations of Smiths, our family, who are great Jakes, we love them dearly.
One-Room School Houses date back hundreds of years. The Red School in Croydon, NH reports to be the longest continuously operating one-room school house, in use since 1794! The thought of walking five miles, uphill both ways, in the snow, may be a legend, but the one-room schoolhouses our ancestors spoke of, is not. In New Hampshire, there are 7 one-room school houses that may be closed, but historical societies have preserved them for visitors.
Our Uncle was a foreman for a large cranberry grower on Cape Cod. He put bluebird houses on his cranberry bogs in the 1990s. After his passing in 2010, we learned from a state biologist that his actions were instrumental in bringing the Eastern Bluebird back to Eastern Massachusetts. In honor of his love for all nature, we named this birdhouse after Uncle Bobby.
The country church is seen in small towns across New Hampshire, from the seacoast to the great north woods. Some churches date back to the 1700s when our country was in its infancy. Churches were often used as meetinghouses, where town business would take place.
