Benjamin Brown (né Lipschitz) (Yiddish: בנימין ליפשיץ) (1885 – 1939),[1] was a Ukrainian-Jewish immigrant to the United States, a social idealist who developed a Jewish Agricultural cooperative settlement in Clarion, Utah, and an Agro-Industrial cooperative settlement in Jersey Homesteads, Roosevelt, New Jersey.[2]
Brown attained wealth through a poultry exchange he established between Western states and New York after the failure of the Clarion effort in 1916. In 1933, Brown attempted to reestablish a new Jewish cooperative effort in rural Monmouth County, N.J. employing seasonally employed Jewish textile workers largely from New York City.
