What Spring Ledge Farm does

Spring Ledge Farm is a privately held, family-owned diversified farm operation headquartered at 37 Main Street in New London, New Hampshire, founded in 1977 by the Clough family and purchased in 2005 by current owner Greg Berger. The farm produces ornamental plants, vegetables, fruits, and cut flowers across a footprint that includes 38 acres of outdoor fields, 9 greenhouses (6 heated production houses plus 3 cold frames), 7,600 square feet of heated tunnels, and 18,543 square feet of unheated tunnels, with additional production on 22 leased acres at the adjacent historic Messer Farm. Core agronomic practices center on Integrated Pest Management (IPM), drip irrigation with fertigation, mechanical cultivation that has eliminated herbicide use on most field crops, biological control via weekly beneficial-insect releases, beneficial microbe soil applications, and corn-based biodegradable plastic mulch.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market across multiple channels: a year-round Main Street farmstand retailing farm-grown produce plus curated local goods (dairy, eggs, meats, bread, maple syrup); seasonal Pick-Your-Own (PYO) operations for strawberries and cut flowers ($17–$58 strawberry flats; $18.95/lb flowers); a Farm Shares CSA program issued as flexible gift cards with a 10% early-purchase bonus; a full-service wedding and event floral vertical with published a-la-carte pricing; garden consulting by NH Certified Landscape Professionals ($95 first hour / $75 additional); custom planting design; and seasonal workshops (seed sowing, cut flowers). PYO strawberry flats and CSA gift cards are the volume units; wedding florals and consulting are the higher-margin services SKUs.

The customer base is highly fragmented and locally concentrated: primary buyers are New London-area residents, with secondary segments including wedding/event clients, home gardeners, and CSA members. The farm donates surplus produce to NH Gleans and local food banks (20,303 lbs donated in 2020) and sells to local restaurants through the farmstand channel. Distribution is single-country domestic (USA, New England region), with no wholesale or third-party retail presence. Spring Ledge holds no patents or trademarks, carries no external funding, and operates as a single legal entity with no parent, subsidiaries, or M&A history.
