Tahilla Farm
I am drawn to the quiet stories that connect people and places, to scenes that linger. Here, in the hills of New Hampshire, there is time to breathe, space to create, and moments to share.
This is where I write, where I welcome others for a few small gatherings each year, and where the ordinary days tend to become the ones worth remembering.
Tahilla Farm sits in southern New Hampshire's Monadnock region, between the Wapack Range and the New Hampshire woods: 35 acres of meadows, forest, and old stone walls, gathered around a restored 1790 farmhouse and two classic red barns. It is a place rooted in quiet history, where Thoreau's invitation to live deliberately still feels possible.
The name was given by three sisters who once lived here, inspired by Tahilla (Tathuile) along Ireland's Ring of Kerry, a reminder that some places call to us before we understand why. My husband, known here as Mr. H, and our English Springer Spaniel, Tani, share the stewardship of the land with me now. The seasons set the rhythm. The land shapes the days.
Through Tahilla Gatherings, I offer small workshops and retreats shaped by the spirit of this unhurried place. If you would like to wander further, stories from Tahilla Farm live on the blog. You will find photographs from Tahilla throughout the season on this site.
