The first Farmers Market at the Burlington County Community Agriculture Center is scheduled for Saturday, June 16th. The Farmers Market will open at 8:30 am and run until 1:00 pm, rain of shine. The Farmers Market will run every Saturday through the middle of October.
Check back to this site for information related to vendors and programming that is currently being planned for market days.
As of Friday, April 6th, 16 applications from interested farmers and rural craft vendors have been received. We expect to have a complete list of vendors and the ag products they will be selling listed on this site by April 20th.
The format of the Farmers Market is an open-air tailgate market anchored by locally grown produce vendors. The purpose of the market is to provide the farmers an outlet to sell their products directly to the consumer.
The Farmers Market is being held at the Burlington County Community Agriculture Center in Moorestown Twp. This is a preserved, working farm that was aquired by the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders in 2005. Parking is available on-site. The site will be open to the public starting June 1st. The site will also have a Community Garden and will be the site of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm in the spring of 2008.
We hope to see you out at the farm starting Saturday, June 16th !
