Jersey tomatoes are back in-season, and the Burlington County Farmers Market is celebrating them this weekend, along with their frequent companion – the pepper.
Tomato and Pepper Day at the Burlington County Farmers Market will be held at the Burlington County Agricultural Center in Moorestown this Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The special tomato/pepper-themed market will feature famers selling varieties of these masterpieces of Jersey Fresh produce, plus scores of prepared foods with tomatoes and peppers as ingredients.
There will also be a tomato-themed cooking demonstration at 10 a.m. in the Agricultural Center’s Farmhouse Kitchen, a kids’ scavenger hunt, tomato craft and free samples of tomato pie, salsa, bisque and tomato and mozzarella pairings from participating food vendors. There will also be special tomato beer for sale from Marlton-based Zed’s Beer-Bado Brewing.
