Farm History
In 1876, Springdale Farm was purchased by James Adams to operate primarily as a fruit farm. Adam’s family remained in ownership for nearly a century, with son Myron taking over and remaining prosperous until an ice storm in the 1930’s damaged many of the fruit bearing trees. It was then that Myron converted Springdale into a dairy farm, as well as planting a variety of crops like wheat, oats, corn, peas, string beans and potatoes. In 1960, the Adams family sold Springdale to another farmer and shortly afterwards, Springdale Farm was purchased by Monroe County.
