Friday, March 28, 2025: Many years ago, Cherry Hill Township, Camden County, New Jersey, had been called Delaware Township. Then on November 7, 1961, the residents voted to change the name. Before then, in the early 20th century, and as late as 1931, Delaware Township had as many as 82 farms. Nowadays, only Springdale Farm remained. I stopped by recently and did plenty of browsing, and I also did some shopping. Of course this farm market: Springdale Farm Market, 1638 Springdale Road (856-424-8674), has been in business for over 75 years. In addition, it was not some simple produce stand! Instead, this market provided rows and rows of fruits & vegetables, a bakery selling many kinds of baked goods, as well as other foods: jarred food, both sweet and savory, other packaged foods, etc. Both inside the building and outside, I noticed potted flowers, hanging baskets of flowers, and other plants such as herbs & spices. This store also sold garden equipment, outdoor furniture, and kitchenware—almost any thing to do with your kitchen and garden. From late Spring through December, this place played host to different events for the family, and private events that included hayrides. Therefore, if you would like to see what Cherry Hill looked like before it became a built up edge city/sprawling suburb, stop by this farm market, and shop locally. You won’t be sorry, and you might be buying stuff for yourself and your kitchen or garden.
