Hollis, New Hampshire
For the Town of Hollis, farming has not only been business but also a way of life. Incorporated in 1746, the Town still remains heavily agricultural despite its proximity to today's centers of commerce. As they have done for decades, fields of strawberries, apples, pumpkins and corn still line the roads. Throughout the year, residents and tourists from far and wide enjoy the taste of local fruits and vegetables. Traditions abound in Hollis, NH. For over 70 years, the Hollis Strawberry Festival has been held each year in the historic Monument Square in the town center. The Hollis Apple Festival is held each October.
It is estimated that one-third of the land area in Hollis is protected by the Town of Hollis in partnership with residents and private and public organizations. Further, about half the land area in Hollis is currently under some form of agricultural use, including forestry. This helps preserve the town's open space and rural character, while providing a local source of food, income, and jobs that circle back into the community.
