Silvertop Farm, Ranch,
Vineyards & Winery
Silvertop Farm was established in 1945 by Joe and Ruth Steichen. Both Joe and Ruth were raised on farms in nearby Perry, Oklahoma. Both Joe and Ruth's ancestors settled in the Oklahoma territory shortly after the Cherokee Strip Land Run in 1893. The Steichen farm in Perry was established at the turn of the century by Joe's grandfather, Nicholas Steichen.
A belief in the strength of agricultural diversification served as the establishing foundation for Silvertop Farm and Ranch. The Silvertop is now an umbrella organization for specialty agri-businesses - Silvertop Crops (small grains), Silvertop Ranch (livestock), Silvertop Lamb and, in the future, Silvertop Vineyards and Winery.
