Bowlful of comfort

By Jenifer Vanpelt / Monitor staff

You would think that after the gluttony of the holiday season we four VanPelts would be ready for some lighter fare. That's true, in a sense. I'd be happy if no one in this house saw another cookie or piece of candy until… 1

Fishery officials bought time for some New England fishermen yesterday, asking federal regulators to take an emergency step to avoid ruinous cuts in the Gulf of Maine cod catch this year. But the move still left fishermen looking at significant catch reductions some said would destroy their businesses. Members of the New England Fishery Management Council asked federal regulators… 0

Legislation would ease dairy rules

When Dina Farrell and her husband bought an 86-acre farm in Wolfeboro about four years ago, the goal was straightforward enough. "This was a way to keep my family fed and allowed me to stay at home and bring in a little bit of money," said Farrell, a mother of four, ages 2 to 18. But Farrell said excessive… 8

Advocates seek to preserve historic rural neighborhood

The Mahoneys start witha vision and a patron

Brookford Farm in Rollinsford generates about $800,000 a year in revenue, but it doesn't have a single cash register. Customers avail themselves of organic vegetables, dairy and meat products in a cramped farm store and leave bills $10 and larger in one unlocked metal box and $1 and $5 bills in another. "We… 0

A tale of two farms

The Glineses' ties to the land go back to 1730

The floorboards sag with a country-slant, as if the Glineses' farmhouse has taken on the rolls and sways of Canterbury's back roads. The home, weathered and whitewashed, has been here since 1853. But the Glines family has roots in town that reach even further, to 1730 when their first ancestor called this place… 1

Cod data shake fishing industry

New Hampshire and New England fisherman are facing a potential crisis. A new look at the health of one of New England's most storied fish stocks is troubling the industry, with some saying the findings have got to be wrong.
