The Champions of New Hampshire Farms is a federal not-for-profit organization (501 (c) 5 established to oversee the sales and promotion of New Hampshire food and products at the New Hampshire building at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Its primary activities are the sales of blueberry pie, ice cream, corn on the cob, mac and cheese and other NH products, as well as the oversight of the NH General Store. These activities provide an opportunity to return some dollars back to the state not only via vendors providing product, but through the volunteer groups who work at the NH Building and also to distribute grants to New Hampshire agriculture and natural resource organizations when there is a profit.
