Farms in this rural area have been cultivated by generations of the same families. The closest large farm is Tuckahoe Turf. You can't miss their fields of green grass. We hope you can't miss this small cache, either. It is close to the road. Be careful.
Two prizes, FTF gets choice of OakCoins Pin or Bison Tube. STF gets one that is left.

In January of 1931, the farming family of Elmer Betts moved from Stratford, Connecticut, to Estell Manor in Atlantic County, adjacent to the Tuckahoe River. During the Spring of 1931 and successive years, Elmer and his son Walter operated a truck farm to support the family. They also grew cranberries in a nearby bog in order to pay property taxes.
Walt and his family continued growing truck crops for canning vegetables into the fifties. Through the fifties into 1967 lima beans were growing for Seabrook Farms. It was in 1967 when transition to the production of sod began, and by 1969 the entire farm was in sod production.
In 1980 the family Farm was purchased by Tom and George (Walt's sons), who continue to operate it today, with their sons, John, James, Phil, and David.
