Benedikt Dairy

Charming local farm with excellent ice cream. Stopped by Benedikt Dairy while I was in the area. Not far from Manchester, though it did require a small detour down local roads. The setup was modest: a small parking area next to a barn (no signage, so keep your eyes open), and inside, you’ll find a tiny self-serve store and a petting area with young calves. Like many small New England farms, Benedikt runs on an honor system and membership model. Shoppers pay at the counter, and members get access to additional dairy selections from a separate fridge. For casual visitors like me—just looking for something to enjoy on the spot—the offerings were limited, but I came specifically for the ice cream. I picked up a couple of small cups: vanilla and mango lassi. They didn’t have spoons available, so unless you keep one in your car, be prepared to wait for it to melt a bit. Still, once the vanilla softened, it was phenomenal. Possibly the best I’ve had in New England. Soft, creamy, with just the right hint of iciness to make it refreshing and satisfying.

I came to the US 2 years ago and this is the best dairy I have had since. The farm is very nice and clean. Great selection of vegetables, fruits and dairy products. The milk is high in fat and it makes great homemade cottage cheese. And I really like the idea that they reuse glass bottles.

We went yesterday with our 4 yr old to get local honey. We were so pleasantly surprised at how gorgeous this sweet little farm and stand is. Beautiful dried flowers, organic and unique food items you can’t get anywhere else, baby cows doing zoomies, and easy self check out tablets that take credit cards?! What more could you ask for!! We will definitely be back.

“You can taste the freshness here! The dairy selection is fantastic, and their fruit is always bursting with flavor. It's clear they take pride in their products. So glad I found this farm!"

Today was my first time visiting this local farm stand. It's a self service little stand with lots of different locally made foods, including foods made right on the farm. Cheeses, breads, sauces and marinades, meats, fair products and more. My intention was to buy local eggs but unfortunately they were out of stock. I did pick up some of their own homemade butter, something I've been wanting to try. I'll definitely be back again! Oh and they have the most adorable little calves when you first walk into the building 🥰

We’ve been wanting to try this farm for a while now and finally got to go yesterday. The raw milk was delicious! I’m excited to make this a weekly occurrence. So many options in their farm stand. Highly recommend!

This is seriously the best place in NH to get local, raw dairy products. This heavy cream is beyond good! I made a creme brûlée with it and it was the creamiest and most delicious creme brûlée I've ever made. Support your local farmers--it's true that things grown locally with love makes a huge difference in quality and flavor. Also, the owners and employees at Benedikt are awesome, caring people. Know your farmers, and support local.

This place is awesome. Nice farm. They have fresh milk, eggs, cheeses, ice cream and much more. Got the sweet cream ice cream. Tasted good but very creamy ( shoulda got chocolate). I will be back here again!!

Best raw milk on the planet! Melissa and Max work very hard to maintain the farm. They are helpful and friendly. Benedikt Dairy carries a large variety of dairy products including raw milk, heavy cream, yogurt, butter, cheese, etc. The raw milk here has a beautiful, deep cream line indicating high butterfat content. The milking breed they use here is jersey cattle. Unlike holstein cows that produce A1 milk, jersey cows produce milk that contains mostly A2 protein. Raw grass-fed milk from jersey cows is one of the best types of milk for human consumption. For more information on raw milk, please go to https://www.realmilk.com. The farm is open everyday from 7am to 7pm.

Such a treat to have organic free-range eggs! This is an organic dairy and organic farm run by a young married couple who are making a positive difference in local farming. I tried the fresh yogurt; tart but amazing! Stop by and pick up whatever they are harvesting that day. Sign up for CSA pick-up (community supported agriculture.)
