These traditional New England recipes emphasize foods that “taste best at their appropriate season,” based on Great-Aunt Ida’s recipes and some nine generations of testing conducted on the family homestead right at the mouth of the Merrimack River — Arrowhead Farm. It’s been nine generations — 300 years — since one William Moulton of Hampton, […]

New Hampshire’s Waterville Valley Resort is like a vortex that pulls you in and keeps you there—mostly because there’s no reason to leave. Unlike the 2014 Polar Vortex, however, this is a place where you will want to stay. A loop of activities, lodging, dining, and shopping circles around this self-contained resort—and this homey quality […]

Sunday at Pats Peak
For most of this winter I debated whether to introduce my three-year-old son, Calvin, to downhill skiing. I consulted with friends. Is he too young? Some said wait until next year, others said just to go for it; just make sure he’s having fun. But I was treading on personal territory. For years I’d kept […]
Over the past 30 years, a famous garden designer and his wife have transformed a dilapidated Vermont farmhouse into a study in harmony between indoors and out, where garden views are always in focus. Town life never suited Gordon and Mary Hayward. They found that out firsthand in 1981, when they bought an 1850s-era white […]
