There is so much great history right here in our backyard

Did you know Allendale's Celery Farm used to be an actual celery farm?

A Local History prepared by Fred Litt (author, Images of America: Allendale)

Back in the 1800s, this 107-acre wetland behind Franklin Turnpike was just a swampy bog. In 1888, a farmer named Henry Appert bought it, drained it, and started growing celery, onions, and lettuce. His son Arthur later shipped truckloads of celery to New York, Boston, and even the Campbell Soup Company. The farm closed in the 1940s, and for a while part of the land became a goldfish hatchery — which is why you still see orange carp swimming around today!

By the 1970s, developers wanted to build on the land. But one Allendale man, naturalist Stiles Thomas, spent years fighting to save it instead. In 1981, with help from Mayor Edward FitzPatrick and the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, the borough bought the land and turned it into a nature preserve — one of the first towns in the country to buy wetlands just to protect them.

Since then, volunteers with the Fyke Nature Association have kept it going, adding acres, building trails, and welcoming over 240 kinds of birds. Stiles and his wife Lillian "Sis" Thomas devoted their whole lives to it (Stiles passed away in 2023 at 99, Lillian in 2025 at 101), and their legacy lives on in the trails, gardens, and wildlife you see there today.

This year, the Celery Farm turned 45! So next time you're walking around Lake Appert, remember: you're standing on what used to be a celery field. 🌿🦆
