Matilda “Tillie” Farnham was born and raised in Gloucester, before moving to Main Street in Essex where her husband Joseph ran a clam shucking business in the backyard. Twenty years later they opened their business on the gorgeous site overlooking the marsh and Hog Island. That year was 1938.


We only went to Farnhams growing up. Sweetes clams, I still remember how wonderful they were. Thanks Catherine for reminding me.
