The owners of Shady Brook Farm plan to sell 80 acres to a development partnership. The Fleming family said they will keep 50 acres of land to move into a more event- and entertainment-focused business model while continuing to lease farmland to some neighbors. The property is currently 130 acres, of which the majority is in Lower Makefield Township with a portion in Middletown Township. No formal plans for development have come before the Middletown or Lower Makefield governing bodies. More development is proposed nearby, though, with Prickett Preserve at Edgewood, a 30-acre mixed-use development across the street with homes, businesses and a Wegmans, set to open in early 2024. The Fleming family also owns Rose Bank Winery in Newtown Township.
