If you want farm animals, you need to make sure the land is zoned for that.

jrc · 03-11-2014, 09:16 AM

If you are still considering shared property, condos or houses with shared lake access. Almost all will have rules about dogs and farm animals. Make sure you know the rules going in. Plus the town will have rules regarding farm animals.

Most west coast people are shocked at how strict the rules are in the east.

For example, you will find very few shared beaches that allow dogs.

Isn't all land outside of towns ok for farm animals? I don't really want to go with associations just because they've got a lot of rules and regulations.

tis · 03-11-2014, 03:56 PM

Not necessarily. It might depend on the rules for each town, but I know some make you be in the agricultural district if you want to have farm animals. You want to make sure to ask your realtor or someone about it.

I'm thinking I might be in for a tiny bit of 'culture' shock when I move there. I'm learning so many things that I need to know. Thank you everyone!! I truly appreciate all the help you've given me!

Yes, we have lots of rules and regulations here.

That all really depends on where you are in the state, up here a little north of the Lakes Region, in the edge of the White Mountain National Forest, most towns are pretty much free of overbearing nanny type rules n regs, and we are doing our best to keep it that way, in spite of the seemingly non stop influx of those that prefer a nanny state system of governmental interference

Good for you Grandpa. I think the north/ north western part of the state has less rules and regulations also.

Thanks. My husband wanted to be somewhat close (within a 2-2.5 hour drive) to Boston and points where he grew up. It's always been his dream to live in the Winnipesaukee area. I've always loved the woods and lakes so I'm all for it too!

There is a place in Wentworth that I've been interested in.

We don't mind doing some work on a place, it's something I enjoy doing. What I really like about this place is the trout creek running through it... I love fishing!

I can't wait till we get to come visit! I'm hoping to be there after the snow melts, maybe sometime in May or early June.

Grandpa Redneck · 03-12-2014, 12:20 PM

Oregonrain, Wentworth is the next town south of me. I am in Warren and in my opinion, the Warren/Wentworth area is a wonderful place, within a short drive to the Lakes Region, or the White mountains. A relatively quiet rural area, but only a few minutes from Plymouth for grocery shopping, Hospital, etc.

Are they persnickety about farm animals in that area? I don't want hogs, cattle, or horses... just chickens, goats, and maybe a sheep.

Grandpa Redneck · 03-12-2014, 12:31 PM

Absolutely not, I myself have chickens, and so do a lot of the folks in this area. You should have no problems with chickens, goats, sheep. Here in Warren a friend of mine living within sight of the center of town has chickens and goats. And another friend is just on the outskirts of town with cattle, and right in the middle of town a couple has miniature horses.

The "Thanks" button serves the same purpose but you can only use it 5 times a day, then it disappears until tomorrow.

TiltonBB · 03-12-2014, 05:23 PM

Be careful not to count (or plan on) your chickens before they hatch.

The City of Laconia already decided this matter!

Chaselady · 03-12-2014, 06:26 PM

I think the article about chickens in the Laconia paper is one of the funniest things I have ever read....
I am not a farm girl, but don't you need roosters to make eggs? And who's going to keep an eye on how many cubic feet of chicken poo you have?
I've heard chickens eat ticks. I think everyone in NH should have them!

Lakeboater · 03-12-2014, 07:04 PM

Chaselady, I tease, but do you need Mr. Chaselady to make eggs?
No need for roosters if you just want breakfast!

tis · 03-12-2014, 12:38 PM

And I believe you can have chickens in certain areas of towns closer to Lake Winni, but you just have to make sure that the house you choose is in that area-usually called the agricultural district although some may allow chickens in other areas. All I am saying is just to find out before you buy so you won't be disappointed.

Thank you, that is good advice. I'm going to make a list of what I want so when we really get serious about house hunting, I'll know what to look for.

My husband is a ham, and I'm studying to get my general license. With all the selling on eBay and getting ready to move, I don't have much time for studying, but I'm getting there.
