Its sad in a way to see such a long standing tradition go by the way side. It also makes you think if more of these local farms go under, does the quintessential American family farm life still exist. Find the whole story here.

DOVER, N.H. Like generations of Tuttles before him, Will Tuttle has spent his life on the family farm, working its tree-lined acres from seed to harvest. He learned by the side of his father and grandfather and, like them, chose to make his living off the land.

But after years of toil and dwindling demand for the crops he produced, the thick-armed 63-year-old has decided the family legacy will end with him. His landmark property passed from father to son since 1632 and billed as the country's oldest continually operating family farm is up for sale.

A piece of Americana is disappearing , what a shame.

That sucks

I heard about this on the radio. Really does feel like the state will be losing part of it's identity.

Yeah, I personally know a couple of the Tuttles, and it really is too bad.
