Summary:
First owned by Robert Frederick Whittle, Whittle's Willow Spring Farm on Noank Ledyard Road in Mystic has been with us for 100 years. There is a spring but the willow is gone. Their biggest crop is sweet corn which they sell from July 20 to October 20th. They have five acres of pumpkins and other vegetables as well. Their orchards are impressive. Some gnarled apple trees go back to Rick's great grandfather. Deep in the acreage lies the mysterious natural formation known as the Horse Pound where, according to tradition, Indians kept their horses. From Indian days to the present, the farm has earned its place in local history.
