Crebilly farm owners put aside court dispute over upcoming sale

Dated: July 7 2023

A legal dispute pitted the two owners of Crebilly Farm in Westtown — James “Rob” Robinson and his brother David Robinson — against one another over David’s alleged plan to make distributions of the proceeds from the sale of the property without Rob’s permission. The bulk of the roughly 300-acre historic farm is set to be sold to Westtown Township and Natural Lands to be preserved as public open space, with 24 acres going to an unnamed third party. There was some concern among local residents that if an injunction were granted, the closings on the farm set for this month would be jeopardized — delayed or stopped entirely. The two sides agreed to put the litigation on a “standstill” that would allow the settlements between the Crebilly Farm Family Association and the buyers to go through as planned. Assets that are gained upon the sale of the farm would be placed in a partnership account, with only signatures from both sides allowing the dispersal of funds. If no agreement can be reached, the parties will reappear before the judge.
