DeMeritt Hill Farm's story is deeply rooted in family legacy and community commitment. In 1992, Mary Ellen (Meg) Wilson and her husband Roy purchased the farm, beginning what would become a beloved chapter in the agricultural heritage of Lee, New Hampshire. Meg, who became the matriarch of the Wilson family operation, dedicated her life to nurturing both the land and the people who visited it.

Throughout her tenure as owner and operator, Meg was renowned for her generous spirit and remarkable ability to make every visitor feel genuinely seen and valued. Her passionate approach to farming went far beyond simply growing crops or raising animals. She understood that a farm could serve as a gathering place for community, a place where families could create lasting memories and connections to the land. Under her stewardship, DeMeritt Hill Farm flourished as both an agricultural enterprise and a community cornerstone.

Following Meg's passing in February 2026 at the age of 78, the Wilson family has committed to continuing her vision with the same passion, care, and dedication to community that defined her approach. Her spirit lives on through the various programs and experiences the farm offers, ensuring that future generations will benefit from her legacy of hospitality and agricultural stewardship. The farm stands as a testament to the enduring power of family farming and the profound impact one person's generous heart can have on an entire community.
