Hi there, welcome to GRANITE GOODNESS.
My name is Andy DeMeo.
At Granite Goodness, we interview New Hampshire people making the world a better place and share positive news in and about the Granite State.

However, their focus is on the world— I’m more interested in something a little more local : )
New Hampshire is my home, and it is an extraordinary place. I have lived my entire life here. My hometown is Londonderry, but I’ve lived in Manchester, Bedford, Durham, Newmarket, Meredith, Keene, Dover, Portsmouth, and Rollinsford. Today I live in the Mt. Washington Valley on a farm with my wife Jess and a little dog named Rooster.
GRANITE GOODNESS is my love letter to New Hampshire, the people that have lived any part of their story here, and anyone else orienting toward optimism and community over fear and loneliness.
