About Riverdale Farms

Located in beautiful Avon, Conn., Riverdale Farms features many specialty shops, restaurants, and personal and professional services on the restored site of a 19th century dairy farm. The Silvio Brighenti family purchased Riverdale Farms in 1977 with the intent of preserving its appeal and history. The existing barns and buildings were restored and converted, giving them new purpose. Six new buildings complement eleven from the original farm. Riverdale Farms has been transformed into a unique environment for shops, restaurants and select services.
