USA TODAY’s 10Best has nominated the Burlington County Farmers Market as Best Farmers Market in the United States, along with 19 other markets around the Nation, & we couldn’t be more thrilled!
Farmers markets are vital to communities, offering much more than fresh, local produce. We love supporting family-run farms, boosting local economies by keeping money within the community. Produce is often fresher and more nutritious than store-bought alternatives, and because it’s grown nearby, it reduces the carbon footprint of food transportation.
Beyond the economic and health benefits, farmers markets foster a sense of community! We are a social hub where neighbors can connect, enjoy local music, and learn about sustainable farming practices. The direct relationships between farmers and consumers also encourage more mindful, conscious food choices.
In essence, we love our market because people come together, promote healthier living, and help sustain the local economy while supporting sustainable agriculture!
Show some love for the Burlington County Farmers Market!

“The explosion of the farm-to-table movement in the United States has led to a steadily growing number of farmers markets, with more than 8,600 registered in the USDA Farmers Market Directory. With so many markets offering fresh, local items — produce, meats, and baked goods — from a diverse mix of vendors, how do you find the best? To narrow the field, an expert panel has nominated their top picks for farmers markets across the country, and now it’s your turn to decide the winners. Which farmers market do you return to week after week? Vote once per day until polls close on Monday, April 14 at noon ET. The winning markets, as determined by your vote, will be announced on Wednesday, April 23.” – USA TODAY 10Best
