Gray Farm

Upper Freehold Township
Completed in 1989, 167 acres

Instead of 49 houses on 2-acre lots, 167 acres of rich, undeveloped farmland in Upper Freehold will remain forever rural as a result of the Foundation’s acquisition. Through the Farmland Preservation Program, MCF sold the development rights of the Gray Farm, permanently restricting the land to agricultural use only.

MCF held and managed the property until 1998 when the Foundation swapped the remaining fee for the development rights on other farmland in Upper Freehold. The Gray Farm, along with the Tindall Farm, is the centerpiece of an agricultural district made up of contiguous farmlands along Crosswicks Creek.
