Agricultural Renaissance at White Gates Farm

On 3/30/11, I visited Hank Letarte, a farmer/entrepreneur in Tamworth, NH to follow up on a trial we were doing there. A renaissance man of sorts, Hank has been an engineer, power plant operator, landscaper, cattle farmer, and now a biodiesel manufacturer. He teaches classes on animal processing and lead safety, among others. With the help of the NRCS , he recently added two Ledgewood high tunnels to his property. White Gates Farm is an interactive farm in Tamworth, NH. They raise grass fed beef, pasture raised chickens, pork, and produce. They also produce organic compost, maple syrup and biodiesel fuel and they welcome farm visits any time. Here is a brief gallery of photos I took while there, plus a few from their facebook page:



Here is a video produced by the Tamworth Lyceum:
