History

Springdale Farms began in 1949, when Alan Ebert purchased the land. At the time, three quarters of Cherry Hill was covered with farmland. Alan's widow Mary, along with her children, took over operations of the 100-acre (40 ha) farm after his death. A fire in 1988 destroyed the farm's 3,800 square feet (350 m2) retail building. [4]

In late 1998, Springdale Road was widened from two lanes to four lanes, including a center left-turn lane. [5] This affected the farm by not only removing some of the farm's property, but also affecting the farm's business when the road had a detour that motorists used during the widening project. In 1999, the farm expanded to add three greenhouses, totaling 9,600 square feet, where baked goods, crafts and other farm products are sold. [6] In 2006, a fence was constructed in response to the significant number of deer in the forest area surrounding the farm. [7]

Stafford Farm is a 100-acre farm in the Glendale section of Voorhees, New Jersey. Before English inhabitation, the land was used by the Leni Lenape Native Americans for travel. In 1773, it was originally settled by the son of John Stafford, on nearby Short Hills Farm in Cherry Hill. John Stafford was George Washington's personal guard during the American Revolutionary War. The current location of the farm, located at the busy intersection of Evesham Road and White Horse Road, has been owned by its original family—longer than any other property in Voorhees. Motorists driving by the farm and those nearby at local shopping centers across the street can see the grazing horses and cattle. In addition, Standardbred race horses can be seen trotting and pacing around a half-mile training track on clear days. There were plans to develop a shopping center on the farm's property. Development did not occur, due to the efforts made by the township, county, and state to protect the land.
