Today Greens Farms blends suburban shoreline living with deep colonial history. Its neighborhoods sit beside landmarks that recall the 1648 settlement, the 1711 parish, and Connecticut's first state park at Sherwood Island. Our Greens Farms designs gather that layered identity into wearable form — the oyster shell, the salt marsh, the beautiful land of Machamux. Explore the collection and carry forward a symbol of a Connecticut shoreline that has held its name's promise for three and a half centuries.
Two centuries on, the shoreline gave Connecticut a different kind of landmark: Sherwood Island, where the state's first land purchases in 1914 created what would become, after a long public battle, Connecticut's first state park — 238 acres of beach, salt marsh, and woodland on the Sound, right in the Greens Farms section of Westport. A quiet shoreline enclave with three and a half centuries behind it, Greens Farms still holds the promise of the name the Pequot gave it.
