The Hindinger family acknowledged that the farm was for sale in posts on Facebook.

“Yes, we are selling,” a post on Facebook reads. “We thank everyone who has shown up here every week with a card, CSA or just buying. You have become our friends and we have built an amazing community. We are committed to going all year this year. We have a ton of fruits and veggies growing!! The farm sold its development rights in 1981 so it has to be sold as a farm. We love you all!!”
