An exceptionally lovely place off the beaten path that felt more like a museum than some of the actual museums in Connecticut. Full of celebrity history, rustic decor, and unique character, it is worth a tour/visit/special event/participating in a drum circle class. The current owner, Alessandro, is an enthusiastic, compelling individual with wonderful ambition and hope for restoring the best the place has to offer. He has a lot of work ahead of him, but certainly the drive and will to do so. It will make for a great venue for any down to earth couple or family event. I do highly recommend giving this one a chance. Hopefully they will soon launch a better official website, many new photos on google and elsewhere, and modestly publicize themselves- as many of those updates haven't been done since the previous owners passed away. I hope they do this without raising their prices, as it is such a relief to find a unique venue that hasn't been prone to elaborate greed. This place is truly a community love affair- and I hope this love affair lasts decades.

My couple picked this location for a wedding and it was breathtaking. Working with the owner was seamless, and they were beyond helpful. They allowed tents to come in early with other rentals and anytime you needed anything, they were there to assist. Thank you and can't wait to host more weddings at this location.

Another Hidden Gem in New Milford, CT. Tucked away in farm country, with a lovely view of the fields across the way. The Old Silo, The antique barns and structures are just lovely, it's like a walk through time. We recently went to an art show hosted here. Professional and knowledgable leadership, well maintained spaces and completely charming experience. Highly recommended!

My husband and I attended a cooking class here as part of a Wounded Warrior event . We had a marvelous time and learned how to make various dishes in a collaborative hands-on setting. The Chef (Mary) was knowledgeable and friendly. She gave wonderful tips as we were preparing the food and her assistants were also very helpful. We then ate a most delicious lunch in great company . We definitely recommend this unique and beautiful place for cooking lessons.

A small piece of heaven! A lovely farm, great place to camp (look it up on hipcamp.com). Beautiful and well taken care of, great venue for concerts, events and weddings etc. Gift shop with local made artisanal products. Overall a lovely communal gathering space with a hydroponics garden, gift shop, music venue and more.

We booked & paid for multiple seats for a cooking class. It was a Birthday present & we planned an entire weekend around the class. Including taking a half day from work & hotel rooms. Two weeks after the initial booking I received a phone call saying there was a scheduling conflict & the class got had to be moved to the following night. Though I did receive a refund for the classes we incurred cancellation fees for the lodging. You can’t advertise, take someone’s money & then move dates, highly unprofessional & no consideration for the customer.

I'm from out of state and was really looking forward to a quick perusal of the goods at the Silo, having visited it several times over the years. I arrived 25 minutes before its 5 pm closing time (on a Wednesday) and it was all locked up, though there was a car in the parking lot and another car and people at the side of the building. The sign on the door confirmed the store wasn't due to close for 25 minutes. There was no note explaining that due to unforeseen circumstances the store had to close early. So, if you want to visit during store hours, I recommend you call first. They don't adhere to the posted hours. Granted, I arrived within 30 minutes of closing but there was 25 minutes left to their opening hours and I'm a quick shopper. Very disappointing after a long drive out of my way to stop in there. I've been less of a fan since the business changed hands and I'm not sure I'm a fan at all now.

I've heard nothing but great reviews about their cooking school. My parents went last year after Christmas, and they're still talking about how much fun they had, and how delicious the food was. I can't wait to stop in for a visit when we're home for the holidays!
