Not only was the market crowned No. 1 in New Jersey by the American Farmland Trust this year, but it also attracted phenomenal support from shoppers from across Burlington County and the entire region,” said Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. “We want to finish the season strong with our final two market days, so plan to visit the Burlington County Agriculture Center this weekend and Dec. 7 for all your Thanksgiving and holiday shopping.” Shoppers will find more than two dozen artists and crafters selling various handmade creations. “Whether you’re shopping for delicious foods for Thanksgiving or getting a jump on holiday gift buying, the Burlington County Farmers Market has everything you need in a single location,” said Commissioner Allison Eckel, the liaison to the Department of Resource Conservation and Parks. “Shoppers will find a wide variety of foods and goods, and buying from the market vendors helps support our local farms and small businesses.” Now in its 18th season, the Burlington County Farmers Markert is held rain or shine each Saturday in the spring, summer and fall seasons. This year the market also introduced several preseason market days during March and April. The market is credited with helping numerous local farms and small businesses sell their products, and it was voted the No. 1 farmers market in New Jersey and the No. 3 in the entire Northeast during this year’s America’s Farmers Market Celebration, an online contest run by the American Farmland Trust. The farmers market is held at the Agricultural Center, a 68-acre former dairy farm situated on the Moorestown-Mount Laurel border. The property was preserved by the County in 2005 and remade into a community park and education center focused on food production, health, nutrition, agriculture and land stewardship. A portion of the property continues to be leased for farming and the site also features community gardens, demonstration fields maintained by the Rutgers Cooperative Extension and a commercial kitchen that hosts cooking classes for all ages and abilities. “The Agricultural Center is a one-of-a-kind destination that showcases Burlington County’s farming heritage and commitment to keeping agriculture alive and vibrant for current and future generations,” said Eckel. “The farmers market is the perfect place for residents to shop, eat and enjoy the beauty and relaxing atmosphere at the Agricultural Center. There are just two markets left this year, so we encourage residents to visit and stock up for the holidays and new year.”
