The Fellowship Farm Cooperative Association was a Utopian anarchist community in the Stelton section of Piscataway Township, New Jersey that was started in 1912. [1] [2] [3]
The farm was inaugurated on Thanksgiving Day in 1912. [1] 263 acres (1.06 km2) of active farmland was purchased by Ernest H. Liebel from J. C. Letson in Stelton and each member was leased 1-acre (4,000 m2) of land. The project was supervised by G. E. Littlefield of Massachusetts. [4] An advertisement was placed in the New York Call to attract people to the project. [5] Samuel Goldman (1882-1969) began building the Goldman House in the Modern School colony in 1915. [6] [7] [8] Also in 1915 members of the Ferrer movement bought adjacent land and started the Ferrer Colony and Modern School and they would eventually share a cooperative store. [9]
