Newfields Country Store

New Hampshire


The sandwich game is strong at this beloved general store, a small red building perched tidily across the street from the Newfields Town Hall, 5 miles north of Exeter. Order at the counter from a sandwich menu that includes cranberry walnut chicken salad, mozzarella and pesto, and turkey with avocado. Also sells pastries, wine and sundries.

The store is a convenient stop on your way north to the Lakes Region from the coast.
