A horse farm is set to return to a property sandwiched between two suburban New Jersey towns. Stafford Farm, a 70-acre plot of preserved agricultural space, located at the intersection of Evesham and White Horse roads in Voorhees, has been sold with plans for preservation.
Bill Green, an entrepreneur and Camden County native, recently bought the property for $900,000.
The farm’s acerage is about half of a larger lot of land that was originally settled by the Stafford family in 1773. John Stafford, the son of the founder, was the personal guard of Continental Army Gen. George Washington during the Revolutionary War, a Camden County statement said.

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ After a year without concerts due to the coronavirus pandemic, live music is set to return to Camden County.
Wiggins Waterfront Park in Camden will play host to a summer of socially distanced concerts, according to county officials. We are extremely excited to bring concerts back to Wiggins Park and to provide our residents with a much-needed dose of fun and relaxation, Camden County Commissioner Jeff Nash, liaison to the Parks Department, said. While we don t know exactly what the pandemic will look like come June, we feel confident at this time that we will be able to bring back concert-goers in a reduced capacity.
