White Gate Farm offers a wide array of tasty, nutritious produce, eggs, chickens, prepared foods and pastries. We would be glad to assemble special orders for you to enjoy as is or cook in your kitchen. Or the farm chef would be glad to make you dinner.

You are invited to explore the grounds, hike the trails in the woods, and visit the farm animals. One of the farmers will be happy to give you a tour, explaining our organic growing methods or highlighting whatever you are interested in. Summer visitors can enjoy the swimming pool with its own pool house and the glorious lake + dock.

The core of the house was built in 1765 and features the original fireplace. Each room has a private bath. There are 2 working gas fireplaces.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 5.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 7 bedrooms and a dining area.

We rented the full Inn as well as the "inlet" property attached to it for our wedding at the farm. Our family and close friends spent the weekend with us and enjoyed the pool, grounds, and farm stand. I don't think anyone left without some baked goods and vegetables. Our family raved about the experience and the food. The kitchen is large and well out-fitted with anything one could need for cooking. This allowed for us to make a huge family breakfast which everyone enjoyed in the dining room. The rooms all have their own special character and the beds are all extremely comfortable. The staff were accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend the Inn for your next event or family gathering.

The Farm House was the perfect setting for our family reunion, 10 adults, 4 children. Most of our time was spent in the pool area, which is very family friendly. The house is very comfortable, bed rooms are large and many bathrooms throughout. The kitchen is very well stocked, plenty of service for 14 people and all the gadgets we needed. The kids also enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing the animals on the farm.

Perfect destination for active families who love outdoor sports and relaxed comfortable evenings. Wholesome organic foods with incredibly delicious baked goods. Lots of hiking, swimming, kayaking. The small army of staff who sustain the farm are uber friendly and willing to answer questions and show off the critters . A nearby trip to Mystic aquarium should not be missed.

We had such an amazing time here and are planning to return for our next family vacation! The house was clean and spacious and the communication was phenomenal. Everyone we interacted with at the farm was kind, caring, and helpful. There is so much to do at the farm and in the surrounding area. We could not recommend this place more! Best vacation ever!

We were a group of 13 ( 9 adults and 4 children (2 dogs!)) who just stayed a week in the inn. The house is lovely and it is large and our big group slept very comfortably in the 7 bedrooms. We had a dinner prepared by Tami for 18 one night and it was delicious! Kevin, the property manager was just great. The pool was a favorite but everyone really loved the lake. There is a private dock and little beach and kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe just for the inn guests. The water was warm and the little beach was just sandy enough to make it great for the kids. We had people out on the lake early in the morning and after dinner many evenings. On the farm we saw beautiful gardens, small ponds, bee hives, lambs, chickens and turkeys. Kevin, Pauline, David, Corey and all the others we met on the farm were extremely nice to our group. We were able to participate in the moving of the lambs from one field to the other which the kids will never forget. One unexpected treat was that there were several different controllers for air conditioning so that we could adjust night time temperatures to match different choices. We went to the Essex Train, Gillette Castle, the Submarine Force Museum, Devils Hopyard water falls, the town of Mystic and Chester. All of these things were a 15-25 min distance from the farm. Also, as FYI, Costco and Stop and Shop are about 7 minutes away This was truly a wonderful week for our group and we highly recommend it to others.

Fabulous property

This was our second visit, and we loved it just as much. The farm has so many great features ... the lovely indoor decor; the expansive, interesting outdoors; the well-tended pool; a kitchen comfortable for multiple cooks; central air conditioning; easy proximity to shopping, but total quiet at the site. I could go on listing advantages, but no more space. We were 11 adults of 3 generations.

Idyllic Country Estate

My husband and I stayed at this property with our family members over the New Year's holiday (Dec. 27th to Jan. 3rd). We had the most amazing time. The house has such wonderful space (huge family room/dining area with an super-sized propane fireplace, large kitchen, and family members got their pick of the numerous bedrooms and bathrooms). Its central location to so many other CT towns makes the property even more special and of course, the immense acreage with the plentiful fields and ponds/lakes makes you feel you are on the most spectacular country estate. Our large mixed breed dog so enjoyed the countless walks we took and smelling every little thing on the property. We thought that we would love to come visit again during the spring/summer/fall to see how different the farm would look during those seasons. The property is so very special and Pauline and Kevin made us feel very "at home" which is the greatest compliment at a VRBO. Thank you for being such great hosts. We hope to return one day soon.

We are an extended family of 11 adults from surrounding states, and booked a stay over a 3 day weekend. It is the perfect place to spend time together with enough room to spread out and do your own thing as well. Gorgeous house, clean, and so much room. The farm stand right outside your door, fields and trails, animals, scenery-- perfect. We again asked Chef Tami to provide a dinner and it was again such an amazing treat. Thanks to Kevin and the staff of the farm for another memorable stay- we have already rebooked for next year!
