Tendercrop Farm at the Red Barn

Tuttle's Red Barn

The former Tuttle Farm of Dover, New Hampshire, United States, is located between the tidal waters of the Bellamy and Piscataqua rivers on Dover Point and operated continuously from 1632 until its acquisition and merger with Massachusetts-based Tender Crop Farm in 2013.[1][2]

Tuttle Farm, now known as Tender Crop, was referred to as the oldest family-owned farm in the United States; however, this claim was challenged until 2013. The Shirley Plantation in Charles City, Virginia, was founded in 1613 and has been in operation since 1638. It claimed to be and is now America’s oldest family-owned farm.[2][3]
