Burlington County Farmers Market In Moorestown Set For Saturday

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Burlington County will host its annual Holiday Farmers Market in Moorestown Saturday, officials announced.

The holiday market that features fresh, locally grown produce and other seasonal foods and handmade crafts will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Burlington County Agricultural Center, 500 Centerton Road in Moorestown.

“The Holiday Farmers Market has become a popular tradition in our county, and we’re thrilled we can continue it,” Burlington County Director Felicia Hopson said. “While we’re encouraging families to limit Thanksgiving gatherings to their immediate households, there’s no reason they need to skimp on their favorite foods and our holiday market will have many of the tastiest fare imaginable.”

“Seasonal produce, artisan cheeses and meats, mushrooms, flowers, wreaths, crafts, ice cream and baked goods will all be available. It will be a foodie’s dream,” Burlington County Freeholder Linda Hynes, liaison to the Department of Resource Conservation, said.

The vendors participating at Saturday’s Market include: 1895 Organic Farm, Cherry Grove Farm, Davidson’s Mushrooms, Durr Farm, Jersey Jerry Broomsquire, Little Hooves Romneys, Mill Creek Apiary, Pinelands Produce, Robson’s Farm, Spinella Farm, Boheme Foods, Cheese Etc. & Gourmet Gifts, CJ’s Salsa, Four Green Cats, GGC Healthy Paws, Harvest Coffee, Hoop House, Jim’s Jarhead Jerky, Mecha Chocolate, Our Souls Shine Peewee’s Ice Cream, Tea For All, The Soup Bar, Tis So Sweet Bakery, Wild Flour Bakery, Simple Bella’s, A Few Feathers Short and 26 artisans/crafters.

There will also be live entertainment from the Old Man Garage Band.

“We’ve added more artists and crafts vendors for the holiday market so it’s a great opportunity for residents to get a jump on holiday shopping with the variety of handmade crafts that will be available,” Hopson said.

Patrons will be required to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines on site. There will also be limits on how many people will be permitted into the market at a time.

“We want everyone to be able to come out to shop and support our local farmers and vendors, but we also need people to follow the guidance and remain safe. We’re confident we can accomplish both with everyone’s cooperation,” Hynes said.

Farmers Markets have been held Saturdays at the Agricultural Center in the spring, summer and fall since 2006 and have been credited with helping numerous local farms and small business vendors sell their products. A second special Holiday Market is scheduled for Dec. 5, and it will also feature an assortment of vendors and live entertainment.
