History

Springdale Farms was founded in 1949 when Alan Ebert purchased the land. At the time, three quarters of Cherry Hill was 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] The construction claimed some of the farm's land and caused a detour that diverted traffic away from the farm, negatively affecting its business. In 1999, the farm expanded to add three greenhouses, totaling 9,600 square feet (890 m²), 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]
