Things are Brewing at Tamworth Distilling Story and Photos By Thomas P. Caldwell Excitement is brewing as Tamworth Distilling in downtown Tamworth opens its doors for samples and sales.

The business, which began distilling spirits last September, opened its retail store and tasting bar on Memorial Day Weekend, and the response has been all that the company hoped for. Operations Manager David Grasse said the store was packed on its opening weekend, and customers have continued to come in to try samples and purchase bottles to take home. On its second weekend open, a couple arrived from Arizona, having been following the progress of the operation on social media.

The distillery, David explained, serves as a test kitchen for unique brands. The company makes small batches as samples for the team here and in Philadelphia to test. Those deemed promising will be put into full production.

19th century

The company also looks to its customers as a test market for its experimental samples. “We put the time and energy into creating our products, and the feedback will give us an idea of where to go with it,” David said.

“Things that are popular, they might push to market.”

While the distillery is developing its line of aged spirits — a fouryear process — it also is offering unaged spirits through the retail store.

Customers are invited to try samples of vodka, gin, and whiskey, and they can even purchase kits that allow them to age their own spirits in one-gallon barrels.

In addition to traditional vodkas made from wheat, corn, and rye, there are samples using barley, which gives a clean and neutral flavor, as well as sweet potato, beet, and chicory vodkas.

The distillery also has a clear, white barley whiskey that lacks the oak complexity, but offers a very pleasing taste that has proven popular.

Yet it was Tamworth Distilling’s gin that proved to be most popular during the store’s first week. During the second week, it was the white whiskey that sold best.

Many people seemed to like color, and the apple brandy was very popular

among that set of customers.

For those interested in experimenting with their own infusions, the company sells a universal spirit, along with

The large selection of available herbs for those infusions includes hyssop, holy basil, peppermint, spearmint, juniper berries, pink roses, hibiscus, elderberry, and black walnut leaf — and that’s just the beginning. There are shelves of glass jars containing

herbs for customers to choose from, depending on the combinations they want to try.

Tamworth Distilling’s larger goal is to produce aged spirits, notably premiumquality whiskey, to sell throughout New Hampshire and beyond. Its barrel house, located across the garden from the distillery, holds 80 new, white ash charred barrels for the long-term aging process. Each barrel holds 53 gallons, and the distillery plans to have six to seven brands in the next two to four years.

David said they will have straight whiskey in two years, and the majority of the product will be ready in four years.

breadmaking or compost. “We get the most out of everything we use,” he said.

The liquids go into the still, which produces two 275-gallon batches a day. That is allowed to ferment for four days, and then it goes back into a pot still for the stripping run, to separate the heads, hearts, and tails. The heads are mostly industrial solvents that need to be removed; the hearts are the ethyl alcohol and aromatic substances, and the tails are fatty and oily remains that also need to be removed.

“You keep the good and get rid of the bad, and the good is about eight percent of the run,” David said. “So you need to keep going through the batches to get what you need.”

The resulting spirits go into the barrels for aging, or to the store for those interested in the unaged products.

“They’re good products, and very well-received,” David said.

The gardening room at the back of the store has examples of some of the plants as well as books describing their properties so people can make their own infusions.

The town of Tamworth has been very supportive of the new enterprise which fits in well with the farmer’s market that takes place on Saturdays, as well as the nearby Barnstormers Theatre and the Tamworth Lyceum.

“We have a lot of long-timers stopping by, but also people from the farmer’s market. It’s a busy place on Saturdays,” David said.

Tamworth Distilling is located at 15 Cleveland Hill Road in Tamworth, and on the web at www.tamworthdistilling.

“We are true ‘craft’ distillers, actually buying our raw materials,” David said, pointing out that many of the spirits sold as “craft” are actually “rectified” spirits, bought in bulk and cut, blended, flavored, and colored. “Craft” spirits, on the other hand, are distilled from raw ingredients, which has the distiller engaging with the local business community.

For Tamworth Distilling, that local connection is important. “Our approach is traditional,” David said. “We’ve been in discussions with the University of New Hampshire to locate and connect with local farmers. New Hampshire is not a big grain state, but there are farmers growing corn, mostly for silage.

Ours needs to be filtered and dried to a certain standard, and we’re working with farmers to get them to understand our needs. The whole concept is to have them sell directly to the brewers and distillers, and that’s lucrative for them and us.”

Tamworth Distilling mills its own grains at the start of the process, and keeps safety in mind throughout the distillation. It uses all explosion-proof equipment, with gas sensors to evaluate the ethanol content and automatically open air ducts to diffuse the fumes if they become too great.

Visitors to the store can view the distillery through a large glass window: the large still, the separator, and the fermenter.

David said they use a liquid-solid separator — a centrifugal separator — to remove the solids which then go back to feed the cows or get used for

The summer months provide a unique opportunity for visitors to experience the growing and grazing season of the working farm component of the museum in a direct way.

During its high summer season, the Remick Museum will offer daily tours and activities, with five varied activities taking place in both a morning and an afternoon session. The scheduled program will offer visitors of all ages and interests hands-on ways to engage with rural farm life.

They can take part in a meet-and-greet session with a Remick farmer and the

featured barnyard animal of the day, or try their hand at creating a Remickmade craft, which will become a takehome memory.

Tours of the historic homestead’s buildings and barns will take place, including Hillsdale Farm Dairy buildings, which were part of the dairy business Doc Remick owned. (Edwin “Doc” Remick was the founder of the museum and farm.) “Meeting our milk cow, Rosie, and three young heifers will be a big part of our summer program.

It will include a public milking demonstration at Doc’s historic cattle barn,” said Farm Manager Lindsey Peterson.

(photo courtesy GALA) The idea of building a garden at Ossipee Concerned Citizens (OCC) is nothing new, but not until now has the funding, leadership, and partners aligned to make this project a reality.

Global Awareness Local Action (GALA) has been awarded a Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation Community Garden Grant to build a garden at OCC that will provide fresh produce for Senior Meals, Meals on Wheels, and Ossipee Crossings Child Care meals and snacks. The design, installation, maintenance, and educational components of the garden will be a collaborative effort between GALA, OCC, UNH Cooperative Extension, and School’s Out Program.

Ossipee Concerned Citizens is a multi-purpose, intergenerational, human service agency and referral center. The Center provides meals in many different capacities including approximately 50 meals per day for Senior Meals, 25 meals per day for the

Child Care Center, and 125 meals per day for the Meals on Wheels Program.

The kitchen staff provides nutritious meals, but all agree that incorporating more fresh produce will go a long way in improving the quality of prepared meals.

GALA offers a Sustain-A-Raiser program that has resulted in many successful garden projects at private homes as well as several schools and food pantries including Agape Ministries Food Pantry, Freedom Elementary School, and the Girl Scout’s Garden in downtown Wolfeboro.

“The program looks a lot like Habitat for Humanity,” says director Josh Arnold, “but instead of building homes, we are installing gardens, compost bins, rain barrels, and cold frames. I like to think of it as cultivating food and community.”

The Marvelous NH Farm Museum

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper The upkeep of an old homestead is a lot of work. Ask anyone who owns an old house and they will roll their eyes and maybe grimace at the upkeep it takes to keep things in good condition.

But most will tell you living in an old home is well worth the upkeep effort.

“Living with history” is what I refer to the years I resided in an old house in Bristol, NH. (It had been the home of an eccentric older gent who sold the place to my mother. He wanted her to have the home when he moved on and she transformed it into a nice residence. But it took a lot of work and the upkeep seemed never-ending.)

On a recent day trip to the NH Farm Museum in Milton, NH, I got an upclose-and-personal look at what it takes to care for a historic property.

I have visited the non-profit NH Farm Museum a number of times over the years and it is among my favorite places if I want to step back in time to see how a hard-working family once lived and made their fortune off their extensive farm.

The Farm Museum is one of those places that epitomize NH’s rural history. The farm is quite large with a brightly yellow painted homestead and large barn. It now houses the staff offices and a series of rooms on the first

floor of the homestead that are decorated as a home would have been in the olden days. As one walks through the rooms on a farm tour, you literally step through time to see furnishings and old photos from the late 1700s to the 1900s before the property became a historic non-profit.

I visited the farm on a Friday afternoon in June, when the place was bustling. Work was nearly completed on replacing the foundation of the home, a mammoth task that required excavation equipment and lots of workers and carpenters on site to get the job done.

The goal, I am sure, was to have the work completed so all would be in place and finished for the farm’s opening to the public that was right around the corner. Kathleen Shea, the farm’s executive director, seemed to take it all in stride. With a career working in such historic properties on her resume, this is certainly not the first time Kathleen has been involved in an upkeep project of an old building.

Historically, five generations of the Jones family lived and worked on the property before it was left to the Society for the Protection of NH Forests.

At about the same time, a group of New Hampshire farmers saw the worth in collecting as much old-time farm equipment as possible to preserve for future generations what farming was

like in days past.

In the 1970s, the Forest Society gave the farmer’s group 28 acres and the farm and homestead. In 1980 the NH Farm Museum was born and today it is a non-profit organization with a mission to preserve New Hampshire’s agricultural heritage and make it relevant for new generations.

With that goal in mind, the museum grew over the years and today offers educational programs, events and tours of the property. If you like old New England farms and want to see one that is among the best-preserved homesteads/farms around, a visit to the Farm Museum is a must.

Although the farm was bustling with construction activities the day I visited, Kathleen took time to give me a tour of the farmhouse. We walked through the rooms in the order they are presented for visitors on a typical farm tour starting in the 18th century and moving forward through time.

G Think THIN Spring r! e & Summ

“This is a typical big house/little house,” Kathleen told me as we started the tour in the farthest part of the homestead. This part, she explained, was built in 1777 and was once a twostory structure used as a stagecoach stop. (Historically, Mr. Plummer built the farm right after the Revolutionary War ended; his brother built a farm next door.)

“The reason, we think, that the building was painted yellow in the early days was because that was the color of the stagecoach,” Kathleen added when I asked if the buildings were always the bright yellow color we see today.

“The coach line at the time went from Dover to Conway; the horses were changed over at the farm. In 1809, Mr. Plummer, the owner of the property, applied to run a tavern at the site,” she said.

probably the height of luxury at a time when mattresses were stuffed with cornhusks or other cushioning fibers.)

A large room next on the tour was filled with huge weaving looms. Kathleen said a traditional arts grant has brought a weaver to the farm to do demonstrations for the public. The weaver works with an apprentice who is learning the traditional arts trade.

(Although the weaver does not demonstrate on a regular schedule, Kathleen suggests that visitors call ahead for information; the demos often take place on Saturdays during the summer).

As we walked from room to room, Kathleen said, “These old houses were often built to accommodate three generations of a family at a time.” When I commented that I wondered how so many people lived together without getting on one another’s nerves, Kathleen laughed and said that some rooms were often kept locked for added privacy even from the closest family members. And back then, people just accepted that parents and grandparents would live together, often taking care of small children so parents could work. Aunts and extended family were often taken in as well. (Tidbits such as these are what make tours of old properties come alive for me, when I can imagine how people once lived at a particular place.)

The tour continued in a large dining room set as it might have been in the Victorian era with a tablecloth and fancy china. Kathleen told me that by the 1860s the tavern/stagecoach era had mostly ended due to the advent of the railroad. Travelers could reach their destination on a train with greater comfort than on a bumpy and long coach ride. When the stagecoach lines ceased to run, there was very little need for stagecoach taverns such as Plummer’s establishment.

It was a joke in the family at the time that once the tavern closed, Mrs. Jones

• Day Tripping Continued from page 8 She pointed out charming little heart shapes carved out of a corner of some doorways. When I asked what this was for, Kathleen said she believes it was to indicate which rooms were for tavern guests, so travelers would not mistakenly venture into private family quarters. (The heart is a symbol of goodwill for the Masons and Mr. Plummer was a member of the Masonic group.)

A large room was furnished as it would have been in the old tavern period with small tables and chairs. It was here weary coach travelers would have stopped for a meal and refreshments and to rest before getting back on the coach to Conway.

A display of tavern artifacts show visitors some objects unearthed during a recent summer excavation at the property. Admittedly, they are only fragments of early china and glass, but even these tiny pieces are important to tell us what sort of objects were used so long ago.

A large kitchen features a huge fireplace and one can imagine the activity that once filled the space. Travelers needed to be fed and the food was cooked at the fireplace and prepared on the tables that likely filled the kitchen.

Today the kitchen features lots of early cooking equipment, such as old mixing bowls and china that was as necessary in the Plummer family’s day as electric mixers and coffee pots are for today’s chef.

Kathleen led me to a back room that she thinks was used for any number of purposes. Back then, tables and chairs were kept in storage should extra seating be necessary when a large group stepped off a coach.

A small room off the storage room is furnished as it would have been when used as a bedroom, perhaps for a traveler who needed overnight lodgings. (The bed, I must admit, did not look particularly comfortable, but was

• Day Tripping Continued from page 9 (of the Plummer family), finally got her own dining room! She got more than just a dining room: an attractive parlor next on the tour showed the Victorian-era style that would have come after the tavern days ended.

The parlor echoed the financial stability of the Jones/Plummer clan. The furnishings were similar to what the family would have enjoyed. Although they worked hard at farming, the family was well off and Kathleen added they were land and building wealthy and considered among the upper class of Milton at that time.

The farmhouse kitchen is decorated as it would have been when the last of the Jones family lived on the property and it was one of my favorite parts of the tour. It reminded me of a room I might have seen when visiting an elderly aunt or grandparent in my youth.

The kitchen is a mixture of the past up to the mid 1900s. Old yellow ware bowls (the mixing bowls of the late 1800s/early 1900s) are displayed along with electric cooking equipment and

other now-older kitchenware.

A white sink reminded me of the kind you might see in older homes and cottages from the 1940s; like many old sinks, it is positioned under a window so whoever was washing dishes could view the outside world.

“Elizabeth Jones, one of the last of the family to live on the farm, updated the kitchen in the 1940s,” Kathleen told me. “She lived here and was well known and liked in the community. She ran the farm and she loved animals. At various times, her sister and brothers lived with her on the farm.”

I found it fascinating that Elizabeth ran the farm, probably hiring farmhands to hay the field and work the gardens. I could picture her, a true farmwoman who spent her whole life on the homestead, staying up all night to make sure a sick cow or goat was tended to. I found myself wishing I could have known Elizabeth, the last in a long line of the Jones family.

Our tour continued in the huge barn and if I thought I had seen just about everything at the Farm Museum, I was mistaken!

The barn is spacious and full of do-

June/July 2015

nated farming equipment showing how a working farm would have operated.

Running down the center of the first floor of the barn is an amazing donated item: a huge old sled constructed around the turn of the century. It was named an Uncle Sam sled and could hold about 100 children at a time!

Made in Farmington, NH, it was donated to the museum and found a permanent home in just about the only place such a long sled would fit: in the big barn.

“People come in to tour the farm and they tell us they recall riding on the sled years ago,” said Kathleen.

According to the Farm Museum’s website www.farmmuseum.org, “Housed within the three-story, 104foot Great Barn at the Jones Farm is one of New Hampshire’s greatest treasures: a collection of farm tools, implements, and machinery that was used to clear land, plant fields, harvest crops, construct buildings, and maintain community roads. You’ll also see perhaps the most extensive collection of milk bottles from the dairies that once proliferated the New Hampshire countryside.”

Also on a typical farm tour, according to the website, visitors will see “the John York Cider Mill. Between the Jones and the Plummer farms sits a hexagonal-shaped timber frame building. The building was constructed by volunteers in 2001 and houses an apple exhibit and a massive horse-powered knob mill that dates to the early 19th century. Cider was the most common table drink of early New England and most towns had at least one or two cider mills. Our cider mill is dedicated to John York, one of the founders of the Farm Museum.

“The Pole Barn Tractor and Carriage Display houses a collection of historic tractors and carriages in the pole barn, which was constructed by volunteers in 2000.

“The adjoining Plummer property was acquired by the NH Farm Museum in 1993. The Plummer homestead is the base of the Museum’s farming operation and the grounds can be visited on a guided farm tour or a self guided walk to the fields and pastures. The

• Day Tripping Continued from page 10 historic farm was owned by the Plummer family (originally spelled Plumer) for two centuries. The Plummer Farmhouse is not generally open to the public and provides housing for our farmer and interns.

“The Blacksmith Shop is open for demonstrations most Saturdays. Although the blacksmith shop is not original to the Jones Farm (it was moved here from Winnisquam, NH), it is representative of farm structures common to rural NH. Farmers often adopted a skill such as blacksmithing, which allowed them to repair their own equipment, make their tools, and shoe their horses as well as diversify their income doing these tasks for others. This shop was built by Charles Cate in Winnisquam and was later moved to Belmont where it stood on the farm of the late Arthur Hill. Many of the tools in the shop came from these two owners and date to the mid-19th century.

“The shoe shop was relocated to the Farm Museum from Newton Junction, NH, where it was built around 1870.

Small structures like the shoe shop were common rural structures known as ‘ten footers’ as they are about 10 ft. square. This shop was used for piecework and the assembly of shoes; this kind of skill allowed farm families to earn cash during the long winter.”

Also on the property, the forest trails are open (ask for a map in the farm’s Country Store) with 50 acres of fields and forests. Bring your hiking boots and explore the trails as well as the 300acre Jones Forest owned by the Society

for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. A visit to the family cemetery can be added to your hike.

A wonderful country store offers a variety of items for sale during the season.

The farm is a great place for any generation; older folks will recognize items from earlier days, and younger generations that want to learn about life on a farm in the 1800s and early 1900s will love the NH Farm Museum.

Events take place during the summer and fall, so there are added reasons to visit. The schedule for June and July includes: Sat., June 20 - New Hampshire Dairy Day from 10 am- 4 pm with barn tours, cows, goats, NH cheese tasting, butter making demonstrations, horse-drawn wagon rides, haymaking and historic farmhouse tours. Free ice cream donated by Lone Oak Ice Cream will be served at 12 noon until it runs out.

Sat., June 27 & July 25 - The Milton Market from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm, with local crafts, farm products and baked goods for sale.

Stories on The Farm begins on July 4 with a Fun Farm Story followed by a related activity. The event will be held every Tuesday in July and August at 10:15 am in the Big Yellow Barn and is geared for children ages 3-10.

July 4 - The Fourth on the Farm runs from 12 noon-4 pm. Visitors are invited to stop by for homemade strawberry shortcake, patriotic music, a reading of the Declaration of Independence, and more.

July 11 and 12 - Children’s Days on the Farm takes place from 10 am- 4 pm with fun for kids at the farm. Children

will visit farm animals, see fairy houses, have a horse-drawn wagon ride, make butter and ice cream, compete in a blueberry pie eating contest for kids, and more. On July 12, UNH’s Little Red Wagon Theater will perform The Princess, The Pauper & Other Stories at 1:30 pm.

July 13-17 - Farm Adventures Day Camp for kids is offered for ages 8-11 years from 9 am- 3 pm. Camp kids will collect eggs, feed chickens, do gardening, play games, take hikes in the forest and build forts in the woods. Pre registration is a must: (652-7840.)

July 20 - 24 - Farm Girls Day Camp for girls ages 10-12 from 9 am-3 pm with gardening, games, hikes in the forest, butter and ice cream making and more. Participants will pick berries to make jam and learn to make butter and bread. Registration is limited to 12

Page 11 children per session; call 652-7840.

Events take place right through mid December so there are ample opportunities to visit for tours and special events that focus on farm life during each season.

Keeping up a farmstead or old house is indeed a lot of work. Luckily for us, the Plummer/Jones clan were wonderful stewards of their home and farm.

Surely Elizabeth Jones and others of her family would be proud to see their beloved home today.

(The NH Farm Museum is open mid June to Labor Day, Wednesdays through Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm, then through Nov. 1 from 10 am to 4 pm on Fridays through Sundays. Call 652-7840 or visit www.nhfarmmuseum.org for information. The NH Farm Museum is located at 125 White Mt. Highway in Milton.)
