Just across the street from Sarah's home in Stonington, CT is a farm that was founded in 1740. It is called Wehpittutuck, and I was told that the land was given to the farmer's family by King George II. The farm has always been somewhat functional, selling flowers and hosting livestock, but recently it has been receiving some additional attention and enhancements to make it fully operational. A local boy in his twenties struck a deal with the older farmer who owns the land, and together the two have been adding greenhouses and blocks of produce protected by deer fences. The goal is to return the farm to a level of operation substantial enough to be accepted into the Connecticut Farmland Trust (when the elder farmer is no longer able to manage it).
