Windsor Farm & Market

Picture
Overview
       
   Located at the very southeastern border of West Windsor at 1202 Windsor Road, the Windsor Farm and Market is one of West Windsor's several functioning farms. Owned in 2020 by 4th generation farmers who bought the land in 1956 - the property is 56 acres of bucolic land.

   Dates wildly vary for the establishment of this farmstead and its farmhouse. According to township tax records, the farm set up shop in 1900, while the township's Natural Resource Inventory and Conservation Plan Element to the Master Plan indicate 1833. A building does ​seem to appear on this location on both the 1849 and 1875 maps of West Windsor, under ownership by a  T. Bennet and Patrick Devlin, respectively:

   The actual farmhouse is a center hall plan I house with a five bay first story and 3 bay second story. A small wood outbuilding behind the house, garage and gas pump, corn crib, and several larger barns constitute the immediate property, while acres of green fields make for one of the least interrupted bucolic vistas in the township.
