The History of Butterhof Farm

The Butterhof family has been farming corn and tomatoes since the 1920s when Prohibition forced the family to close the winery they had been running since moving to the area in 1854.

According to the history of Butterhof's Shady Brook Farm, Butterhof's Farm Market & Home Supply was the next component of the business.

Continuing the farming tradition, Albert Butterhof, a third-generation farmer,  moved the produce stand out of the yard and built a roadside farm market on Route 30 that still offers that same family-friendly service.

In 1999, Albert Butterhof opened their popular corn maze, which, along with Butterhof's hayrides and pumpkin picking, are popular South Jersey Halloween attractions every October.

For all those reasons, we are happy that Butterhof's Farm & Home Supply is not closing.
