Brook Farm was a transcendentalist Utopian experiment that was put into practice by transcendentalist and former Unitarian minister George Ripley and his wife Sophia Ripley at the Ellis farm in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. There were originally only fifteen members that included George, his wife Sophia, his sister Marianne, John Sullivan Dwight, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The community was in operation from 1841 to 1847, and was inspired in 1845 by the socialist concepts of Charles Fourier. The farm they lived on was influential to many writers like Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
