Burlington County Community Agricultural Center

     Thanks to my friends Claudia and Diane for cluing me in on the farmer's market.  Mike and I made our first visit on Saturday.  Here's how it went:

The Burlington County Community Agricultural Center and Farmer's Market is located at 500 Centerton Road in Moorestown, New Jersey.  http://www.burlcoagcenter.com/farmers-market/

This farm was owned by the Winner family and operated as a dairy farm.  The Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders purchased the farm in 2005.  http://www.burlcoagcenter.com/about-the-farm/  

Local farmers sell fresh produce and honey.  Other food vendors sell baked goods, cheese, and coffee.  http://www.burlcoagcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-Vendor-List-Flyer.pdf

Yummy!

There is live music each week.  This is Caveman Dave.  Check out his website: http://cavemandave.bandcamp.com/releases
I liked his rendition of the Fifth Dimension's "Age of Aquarius."  He sang, "age of asparagus."  How apropos.  Dave will perform again on August 23rd and September 25th.

Be sure to stop at Stormwind Alpacas' table. 

I got these adorable finger puppets from Stormwind Alpacas.

The farm is a working farm.  Ken and Charline Carlisle lease some of the land and buildings.  One of their endeavors is raising sheep.  http://www.littlehoovesromneys.com/index.asp

So, you want to be a farmer?  Try a community garden.  There are 60 plots available.  You can get the application here: http://www.burlcoagcenter.com/programs/community-gardens/

Each plot has water.

Mike bought me some flowers from Durr's Florist.
