This 142 acre farm on the corner of Evesham and White Horse Road has been owned by the Stafford family for over 225 years, or rather was owned by the Stafford family until the State of New Jersey, Camden County, Voorhees Township, and the Trust for Public Land bought it in January 2004 for a whopping 20.6 million dollars!
The farm was orginally settled by the son of John Stafford, a body guard to George Washington during the Revolutionary War, who had settled ajoining Short Hills Farm in Cherry Hill, NJ in 1773. A working farm for generations, up until the 1940s, the farm continued to grow peaches, tomatoes, corn, and apples. Around this time, the farm, which had always had horses (including a few race horses), decided to become a full time horse farm. Since that time, cart-racing horses have been seen, six a days a week, running the oval. The farm also grows hay for the horses.
It is a green bison tube zip tied to its hiding spot. Please bring writing utensil.
