Owner of 175-year-old farm ‘shocked’ as New Jersey town tries to seize land for affordable housing

Officials in Cranbury Township aim to seize land from historic family farm despite century-old history

A 175-year-old family farm in New Jersey is fighting to stay afloat as its co-owner is speaking out against efforts by the local government to seize the land for affordable housing.

Andy Henry discussed his and his brother Christopher’s historic farm in Cranbury, New Jersey, and how they are fighting back against the eminent domain initiative during “Fox & Friends.”

“We got a letter on April 24 informing us of this unfortunate decision that they [Cranbury officials] wanted to take the entire 21 acres,” Henry said on Wednesday.

“So, of course, ever since then, we’ve been pushing back. And now they’re saying, ‘Well, actually, we’ll just take half of it and leave the house.’ That would leave us with a non-viable farm for at least 40 cows and many sheep.”
