His & Hers Farm guidebook
City/town information
His & Hers Farm is located in the beautiful and rural town of Acworth, in the southwestern part of New Hampshire. This is one of the few remaining untouched (and undiscovered) areas of the state, close but just far enough from the busy tourist spots and ski areas so that the condos and developments haven’t moved in yet. A little more than 2 miles up the scenic winding road along the river is the South Acworth Village Store, which dates back to 1865 and is like stepping back in time. A bit further and high up on the hill is the iconic 1821 "Church on the Hill" which is a much photographed story-book setting. In the other direction, past the historic covered bridge, is the charming village of Alstead with its busy General Store including gourmet deli selections of prepared foods and local foods. A few miles further are the beautiful towns of Walpole and Charlestown along the Connecticut River, and historic Bellows Falls, Vermont, is just across the river. As the crow flies, we are approximately 7 miles from the Connecticut River (Vermont Border) and about 30 miles north of the Massachusetts border. There's lots nearby to explore if you enjoy country getaways.
