South Farms' features a premier farmland destination in Litchfield County and our award-winning events venue,
The White Barn at South Farms

Conveniently located between NYC and Boston in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut, The White Barn at South Farms is a state-of-the-art special events venue creatively constructed within the iconic Sam Paletsky Barn. South Farms boasts a working farm, stunnin

g pastoral views, and all the amenities you would expect with a premier year-round venue. Settled in 1723, Morris formally known as South Farms, was a rural outlying community part of the Town of Litchfield. The community in 1859 incorporated as its own town and renamed itself after James Morris, a local Revolutionary War Officer and founder of one of the first co-educational secondary schools in the nation. Over the past 160+ years, our homestead still overlooks unchanged rolling pastures and meadows capturing the area’s rich regional history and continues to be one of the most iconic homesteads of Litchfield County. Sam and Ruth Paletsky purchased the homestead in the late 1940’s and operated a successful dairy and cattle operation until retiring in the late 70’s. Today this 4th generation farm continues to host grazing Black Angus cattle, produce hay, corn and pumpkins. The White Barn at South Farms idea materialized as a way to promote farm preservation, adaptive reuse, and create a unique channel for a community and beyond to experience this incredible landscape and architecture. In 2015, South Farms welcomed their first wedding clients and quickly grew to become a premier year-round wedding and event destination venue in Connecticut.

Our Story

South Farms is an iconic New England family-run farm in Litchfield County. Committed to highlighting Connecticut’s historic roots and bright agricultural future, South Farms is a premier farmland destination featuring our award-winning venue, The White Barn @ South Farms.

Our 4th generation farm features events throughout the year that are open to the public and a “Thursday on the Farm” event during the summer season (6/21 through the end of August). Check out www.southfarms.org and our social media feeds for the latest updates.

Beyond events, South Farms’ vision is to redefine New England agriculture to create a farmland venue that offers a diversity of agricultural products, services, and attractions. By co-locating a portfolio of unique, entrepreneurial, and complementing businesses onto the homestead, South Farms intends to emerge as a great American farmland destination accessible to anyone between New York and Boston. We believe farmland preservation is best accomplished by creating and nurturing sustainable farmland businesses that excel within a blended, value-added agricultural and agri-tourism environment. Our doors are always open to other farm entrepreneurs who believe they can grow the South Farms’ experience.
