The Stanwich Backcountry · North Stamford, Connecticut
Heritage Farmstead · Established circa 1740
Heirloom eggs, seasonal produce, artisan preserves, botanical spirits, and handcrafted farm goods — grown, gathered, and made on five private acres on the colonial border of Stamford and Greenwich.
“Know Ye That I, John H. Brush, of the Town of Stamford, County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut …”
Stamford Land Records, Book 110 · January 7, 1905
Provenance
111 Farms Road sits on land continuously inhabited since before the American Revolution — part of the old Stanwich parish, a backcountry settlement established in 1731 when thirteen families petitioned Connecticut’s colonial assembly for their own church.
“Bounded northwesterly and northeasterly by land of the Greenwich Water Company, southerly by Farms Road, westerly by Farms Road and land now or formerly of Huntington Adams.”
The property traces through the Brush family, one of the founding colonial families whose land records stretch from the early 1700s through the twentieth century.
Four mature American chestnut trees stand on the property — survivors of the blight that destroyed four billion trees across eastern North America. They produce chestnuts each fall and are among the rarest living specimens in Connecticut.
