Welcome to Immaculate Heart of Mary Farmstead!

Located in the sylvan hills of Richmond, New Hampshire, in the rugged Monadnock Region, IHM Farmstead is operated by members of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Over a century ago, the land was used for raising sheep, but it had reverted to forest before our community arrived. The Brothers and Sisters have brought agriculture back, and we practice regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and other holistic methods to be good stewards of God’s creation, leaving the land better for our presence and our animals.

Thank you for visiting our site! Each purchase you make helps to support responsible and humane animal husbandry that respects this beautiful patch of God’s good earth.

My disabled, immune-compromised sister asked for more [of your] eggs and pork. She has not been able to eat any meat, even organic, except yours. It was the only meat she could eat that didn't make her sick. Her doctor told her to eat the freshest food she can find to try to overcome her autoimmune issues.

My family has purchased all our pork from the Sisters since about 2022. The smoked pork chops and ham steaks are simply amazing.  The pigs are treated not only humanely, but also lovingly, literally from birth. We are looking forward to filling our freezer again this year!

I’ve been purchasing from them for years now! They treat the animals with respect and love, and it shows in the meat! Always top quality.

Stoddard, NH

I can't say enough good things about the Sisters and their animals! We have gotten many animals from them over the years and have always been happy with them. You can tell how good the stewardship is by the way the animals are health-wise and temperament-wise!

I like how you are raising your pigs, and these [twenty piglets I bought from you] are finishing out beautifully.

Winchester, NH

Thank you very much for everything.... [The piglets I bought from you] are doing great and growing like weeds. Very healthy pigs....  It’s always great talking with you, whether it’s pigs, gravel, or religion. The two times I have met and spoken with you, even as brief as they were, I left feeling good and happy. That there are still good, caring people in this world today is priceless and means everything to my family and me....

Right now, we are able to offer for sale pork shares (half and whole), pork cuts & fat, and, when available, live piglets. Eggs are available when there is a surplus, and we also have breeding stock of American Chinchillas. Please check out the store to see what is currently available.
