Windfall Farm NH - Designers of Traditional Rug Hooking

Ann Desmet is the owner of Windfall Farm. Ann and her husband, David Hull, operate Windfall Farm together.

Ann has owned sheep for over 20 years. She is an avid rug hooker, hand spinner, dyer, knitter and felter.

David is from Bomere Heath, England. He moved to the United States in 1980. He attributes his love of farm life and gardening to the farming community he grew up in.

   In addition to the Romney and Romney/Border Leicester cross sheep they raise for their wool, they also have a large flock of laying hens and sell “Free Range” eggs year round. They raise and sell turkeys, meat chickens, and Cornish game hens, seasonally.

Their 1840's farmhouse is located in Antrim, NH. The property includes a small pond and a brook that runs year-round. Built alongside of the brook is a small sugar shed where maple syrup was once boiled down. David is now tapping the sugar maple trees closer to the house and is boiling down the sap in a more controlled environment. The sugar shed is being converted to a playhouse for their great-nieces, grandson and granddaughter.
