About Red Manse Farm
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, we have carved out a niche supplying small organic grocers across the state with a local alternative
source of produce. Many small farms grow a tremendous variety of crops, but we have chosen to reduce that
management burden by growing only about 35 different crops. Efforts have also been made to supply our
quality produce to restaurants and schools. One notable customer supplies meals to home-bound seniors and school
lunch programs in the South Boston area.
