In addition to the peach goods for sale, the market will also have a peach-themed cooking demonstration, kids activity, basket giveaways and samples of peach ice cream and peach crumble while supplies last. The Classic Rock Band will also be performing live throughout the day.

“New Jersey is famous for its delicious peaches, and there is no better place to shop for fruit, veggies and other great items than the Burlington County Farmers Market,” said Burlington County Commissioner Director Dr. Felicia Hopson. “Our county market was crowned the best in New Jersey last year and events like this Saturday’s Peach Party is one of the reasons why. It’s a great day for market regulars and newcomers to shop, sample and enjoy the food, crafts, entertainment and atmosphere at the Burlington County Agricultural Center.”

The County Farmers Market was voted the No. 1 market in New Jersey and No. 3 in the Northeast Region during the 2024 America’s Farmers Market Celebration, an online poll conducted by the American Farmland Trust. Voting in this year’s poll kicks off on Friday, Aug. 1 and will continue until Sept. 30. To vote in this year’s poll, visit https://markets.farmland.org.
