Stafford Farm is a 100-acre farm in the Glendale section of Voorhees, New Jersey. 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 (County Route 544) and White Horse Road (County Route 673), 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.[1] 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.[2]Across the street on the Cherry Hill side is Holly Ravine, a shopping center and farm.
