In 1732,
John Mack came to Londonderry from Londonderry, Ireland with his new wife,
Isabella Brown. The area, then known as Nutfield, contained a plot of land
belonging to Matthew Thornton (later to sign the Declaration of Independence).
The Macks settled, grew potatoes and other crops, raised cattle, and later,
grew apples.
Today, Mack's Apples (also known as Moose Hill Orchards - that name is another story) is a farm of approximately 400 acres, and a 100 of those are just for apples. A terrific group of folks run the farm, and they're always ready to welcome you to Londonderry, where New England's best apples grow. There is a wonderful farm stand to browse through, complete with beautiful apples, pears, squash, maple syrup, pies, and honey - to name a few things - and New Hampshire hospitality. You can pick your own apples in any of a number of different orchards, some with lookout platforms and picnic places. Think Orange - Mack's has upwards of 30 acres of pumpkins to pick, and the Turbo Pumpkin (you'll see). Mack's Apples Pick Your Own has been twice selected as the People's Choice award winner in the Best of New Hampshire edition of New Hampshire Magazine. Plan to join us for harvest! Fall is an amazing time in New Hampshire. The fields, the woods, and of course, the apples are beautiful. Mack's has hiking trails and nice places to picnic. By the way, be sure to bring your camera. The guys work pretty hard to keep the grounds nice... they get quite flattered when folks take pictures. Watch for our annual Scarecrow contest, pumpkin decorating contests, and Mack's Great Apple Pie Bake Off. So plan a trip to see us. Stroll through the farm stand and find out what a room full of apples smells like. Find out how an apple tastes when the warmth of the sun is still on it. Have a picnic in a sleepy orchard. Feed our geese and ducks by the farm pond. Take a walk on Poet's Prance. Come to Mack's Apples. We're looking forward to meeting you...
