Stewart Farms Airport

As a private airstrip, the most probable reason for closure was the cessation of private use. This is common for small, farm-based airfields and could be due to the owner selling the aircraft, retiring from flying, selling the property, or passing away. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to military conversion, economic failure of a commercial enterprise, or a specific accident.

The site of the former airport is still identifiable from satellite view as a long, mowed grass strip. However, it is no longer maintained as an active runway and shows no signs of aviation use (e.g., markings, windsocks, hangars in use). The land has effectively reverted to being an open field within the larger agricultural property and is not used for any aviation-related purpose.

Stewart Farms Airport was a private turf runway. Its name indicates it was associated with the adjacent farm. Its operations would have been typical for a private airstrip in a rural, agricultural area: supporting personal, recreational flying for the owner and potentially agricultural aviation activities like crop dusting for the surrounding fields. It held no significant commercial, military, or public historical importance and was likely never charted on official VFR aeronautical maps.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Stewart Farms Airport. As a privately owned strip, any potential for reopening would be solely at the discretion of the current landowner. Given that it has been inactive for many years, reopening is considered highly unlikely.
