Mack's Apples (also known as Moose Hill Orchards) is a farm and orchard in Londonderry, New Hampshire, United States. It is the oldest family-run farm in the state, having been run by the Mack family for eight generations.[1]
The farm was founded in 1732 when John Mack emigrated from Londonderry, Ireland, to Londonderry, New Hampshire.[2] In the 1800s, the family began to concentrate on growing apples, and the farm was formally registered as a business in 1962.[2] [3] [4] The farm eliminated its wholesale operations in the early 2000s.[5] In 2015, Andy Mack Sr. transferred ownership to his son, Andy Mack Jr., and his daughter-in-law, Carol Mack.[4] In 2021, the farm was sold to MHO Acquisitions LLC who intend to continue operating the orchard.[6]

The town of Londonderry has purchased conservation easements to help preserve the farm as green space.[8] [2]
The farm is a frequent stop for liberal politicians visiting Londonderry, including Barack Obama on three occasions.[9] Andy Mack Sr. often places signs on the property supporting progressive issues.[10]
