Silverman’’s Farm yields much more than a container of juicy fruit. Time at the farm also provides a pleasurable place to have fun and make discoveries. The Silverman’s Farm Market and Animal Farm offer great experiences and memories for everyone.
Silverman’s Farm in Easton turns 102 years old this year. Ben Silverman founded Silverman’s Farm. Born in New York City in 1898, like Carver’s namesake, George Washington Carver, Ben loved plants and gardening. At 18, he moved to Connecticut and began working on cow farms for $1.00 daily. When WWI broke out, Ben worked at a munitions factory in Bridgeport. He saved enough to purchase his first land on Sport Hill Road in Easton.
During the ’70s and ’80s, Silverman’s evolved into a Pick Your Own fruit farm featuring a widespread orchard, scenic tractor rides, and a petting farm with many barnyard animals and fowl. Today's farm offers children such as Carver students and their families a place of wonder and fun.
