| After looking at several farms for sale, Garrison and Dirck Coon decided on the 325 acres located on a hillside in Smithfield Valley of Amenia, NY. That decision, made during the fall of 1953, marked the birth of Coon Brothers Farm. The two brothers started with $11,000 dollars, 47 cows, determination, and a serious work ethic. They often had to work nineteen hours a day to make their dream a reality. They must have done something right because fifty five years later Coon Brothers Farm is bigger and better than ever! |
