Sitting astride  < Atlanta Falcons Store >  a cuesta in Monmouth County is Holmdel Park, the site  < 49ers Jersey >  of Longstreet Farm. Established in 1775 as a subsistence farm growing all its own produce, it had by 1890 shifted to the harvesting of potatoes as a cash crop. In the twentieth century it flourished as  < Greg Jones Jersey >  a dairy farm. In 1967 Monmouth County purchased and preserved the farm as Holmdel Park. This 4.1-mile loop walk circles through hilly deciduous woods which once served as the crop lands, pastures, and orchards of Longstreet Farm. The hike ends with a tour of the farm complex, where interpreters dressed in period costume demonstrate 1890s agricultural life.
