Hank Letarte
Owner
Bought the Tamworth land with his wife Heather in 1982 and built the farm out of it. He also runs Our Town Biodiesel with their son Forrest and the Organic Matters composting facility.
White Gates Farm is a family farm in Tamworth, New Hampshire selling grass fed beef, Berkshire pork, pastured chicken, eggs and seasonal produce from a 24 hour farm stand.
White Gates Farm sits on an historic hill in Tamworth, New Hampshire, on a 113 acre tract that Hank and Heather Letarte bought in 1982.
It was a dense White Pine forest then, and forty years of work have turned it into working fields, greenhouses and mountain views. The farm raises Blonde d'Aquitaine cattle for beef, Berkshire pigs, and pasture raised broiling chickens that are moved onto a fresh clean patch of grass every day. Their own farm sign calls the beef all natural grass fed. Vegetables and herbs are grown alongside, and the Letartes' four grown children are part of the farm now.
Meat, eggs, seasonal produce and ice cream are sold from the farm stand behind the farmhouse, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and takes cash, check or Venmo. The family also sells at several farmers markets, runs a seasonal meat CSA and supplies local restaurants, and an online meat ordering service with pickup points is listed on their site as coming soon. Beyond the food they run Edible Education, with family farm days, a day camp for children and seminars, host weddings and farm dinners on the property, and close their own energy loop through Our Town Biodiesel and their Organic Matters composting facility, whose compost goes back onto these fields.

We stayed at Cottage Cove for a few days and also joined one of their pizza nights. We enjoyed every bit of our stay. The Cottage was perfect and the views were amazing. Hank was a pleasure to talk to as we ran into him during our exploration of the farm. Heather was so helpful and very quick to respond if we needed anything. We also had the pleasure of trying their meats which were absolutely delicious. Thank you for hosting us! We will definitely be back again.
We love White Gates Farm and try to get there as often as possible during the summer and fall. The food and music are great but the views are what makes this spot so special. We are three generations from 68 to 4 and everyone has a great time.

We visit at least once a year and it is always a highlight of our summer.
PEACEFULNESS! I solo travel with my dog all over New England and I can't express in words how precious this place is. This beautifully maintained 115 acre farm has all the old school charm. You will be greeted by the super friendly Farm Dog "Woody " upon arrival. He even walked us to our cottage door! In fact, Woody and my dog spent sometime together and got along just fine. There are also cows and chickens to visit and a rooster who will remind you it is morning. I was there during Pizza Night season. Fridays and Saturday nights the farm is open to the general public for homemade brick stone pizza and musical entertainment. I met folks who were staying in the Lakes Region who make this part of the yearly summer vacation activities. Even the neighbor's goat came over and greeted the guests. This event is set up on the lawn of the farm overlooking the most gorgeous view of Mt. Chocorua. Hank & Heather were fabulous hosts. Peaceful is an understatement....We will be back.
White Gates Pizza Night is wonderful for families. The idyllic farm setting is perfect for children to explore and little ones are welcome. We brought our own salad and drinks and enjoyed good music and delicious pizza. We hadn’t expected to last more than an hour, but everyone was so relaxed and happy that we stayed until closing. Thanks, Heather and Hank!
Fantastic concept! The views, the music, the pizza, all made it a perfect night ⛰️🎶🍕 Staff is super friendly. Looking forward to returning.
We took our dog, met some friends and had a wonderful evening. The pizza was delicious, setting spectacular and music delightful. People of all ages were having a good time while Hank and Heather were gracious hosts.
Amazing place!! The owners are friendly people!! The pizza is amazing!! Every time we go there the band is awesome!!
The pizza was fantastic, the people were so friendly, the view was beautiful. There was so much. To look at and admire, and the music was really great too.
My partner and I absolutely loved staying at Heather and Hank's farm for a long weekend. By far my favorite Airbnb experience. The Writer's Cottage is just the rustic NH summer experience I was hoping for - quiet, quaint, outdoor shower, cozy bed and a well equipped enough cooking space to make breakfast and dinner with the best quality ingredients right from the farm. Hank and Heather are extremely hospitable, special people. The evening we checked in, Hank welcomed us and gave us a tour of the property. We appreciated learning about the whole farm and it was inspiring to see such a labor of love. We were lucky to catch one of the farm pizza nights. Hank and Heather graciously open their home to the community for wood fired pies and live music with a stunning mountain view backdrop. It's clear Hank and Heather sincerely value bringing people together for great experiences. The only thing I would change about our experience would be to stay for longer to savor more time on the farm relaxing and to explore more of the area. Tamworth/Sandwich is arguably the prettiest part of NH with a couple of villages, a distillery, farmer market, waterfall hikes and antiques aplenty. I'm very into cooking / food. I was thrilled to have access to the adorable self-serve farm stand on the property full of meats, eggs and produce from on site. On our departure, we took home as much as would fit in the insulated box Hank kindly gave us. I cooked some of the pork chops from the farm for dinner last night...holy moly they were the best I've ever had. We'll be back in the fall!
