Next, a trip to New Hampshire shows that old-school farming is very much alive at Coppal House Farm, where draft horses still power much of the work. Finally, we hop aboard the Maine windjammer J. & E. Riggin. Back in the kitchen, co-host Amy Traverso bakes delectable Apple Cider Doughnut Muffins. [WATCH NOW]( [Scenes from Coppal House Farm in Lee, New Hampshire]( With its working draft horses, corn maze, sunflower field, and farm stand, Coppal House Farm makes for a terrific fall day-trip. In “Past and Present” (season 2, episode 8), Weekends with Yankee headed to the bustling 78-acre Coppal House Farm in Lee, New Hampshire, where the farming equipment is still pulled by draft horses. Here, Yankee photo editor Heather Marcus shares a look at her visit to the farm in autumn 2017. [Coppal House Farm]( in Lee, New Hampshire, is a labor of love for owners John and Carol Hutton. This historic farm, located just miles from the busy Seacoast, continues to diversify and grow, thanks to seasonal activities like horse-drawn sleigh rides in winter and a towering, interactive corn maze in autumn. Of special note are the farm’s 10 acres of sunflower fields, celebrated in bloom during their annual weeklong [Sunflower Festival]( (usually held in early August), with a portion of the festival proceeds benefitting the New Hampshire Make-a-Wish Foundation. The Huttons’ goal is simple: to preserve the beauty of the farm and keep things running for future generations to enjoy. Fall is a wonderful time to visit, with a variety of pumpkins, gourds, and squashes for sale at the farm stand, alongside fresh eggs, farm-raised meats, and culinary oils, including their award-winning sunflower oil.
