Red Manse Farm

5 Pittsfield Road

About Us:

Our farm has been continuously farmed for over 240 years, having been settled by the Bachelder family in the 1760's.  The farm is generally recognized as one of the oldest homesteads in the Town of Loudon, located at the junction of the Stage Road (now NH Rt. 129,) and the Pittsfield Road.  During the 19th century, the existing farm house contained the Loudon Center Post Office; neighboring houses were once a school and a parsonage.  Until Albert Bachelder passed away in 1993, the farm had the distinction of being a Bicentennial Farm, as it had been continuously farmed by one family since prior to the American Revolution. 

Since 2005, the farm has been owned and operated by Earl and Alice Tuson, who grow a wide range of organic produce for the public.  Certified organic since 2007, farming is our sole occupation, with a good deal of assistance from our three young children.  At one time, we have carved out a niche supplying small organic grocers across the state with a local alternative source of produce.   However, since 2011, we have operated a CSA, delivering our organic produce to customers at several locations.
