I wish I knew about the Education Farm at Joppa Hill when my daughter was younger. This would have been a great place for her to play and explore. Located at 174 Joppa Hill Road in Bedford, New Hampshire is this educational farm with farm animals, a farm store, hiking trails and more. It is free to visit the farm, but there is a box for donations.

The farm has several farm animals such pigs, horses, an emu, chickens, alpaca’s, goats, sheep, rabbits and horses. We had a lot of fun visiting with the animals.

After enjoying the farm animals we took a walk on one of the trails. We did a loop walking past the animals baring left into the woods.

We walked through the woods coming to an intersection in the trail. If you went straight you continued onto the Pulpit Brook Trail. We went right, which is also part of the Pulpit Brook Trail. The trail continued through the woods crossing a couple small bridges.

There was another intersection in the trail and we went right continuing on our loop back in the Joppa Hill Trail.

Here was the steepest section of the trail, which was only a few hundred feet. The trail continued through the woods and a couple fields before returning to the farm. We enjoyed the animals a little longer, there is food to buy if you want to feed some of them.

The loop was about 2 miles long. There were some inclines, but overall a pretty easy trail to walk and follow. We also enjoyed visiting with the animals. If you have young children or are just an animal lover this is a great place to visit.
