This cherished event promises a delightful celebration of New Jersey’s beloved stone fruit, inviting families and food enthusiasts alike to immerse themselves in a day filled with peachy delights and community spirit.
Attendees can look forward to an expansive selection of peach varieties, directly from local farms, ensuring peak freshness and flavor. Beyond the raw fruit, numerous vendors will showcase an array of artisanal peach-infused products. From delectable cobblers, crisps, and pies to savory chutney, sweet scones, sticky buns, and even unique peach-infused cheeses and margarita mixes, there will be an extraordinary culinary journey for every palate.
The festivities extend beyond just shopping, offering an engaging and interactive experience for all ages. A live peach-themed cooking demonstration will inspire home chefs with new recipes and techniques. Children will be entertained with dedicated kids’ activities, while exciting basket giveaways and complimentary samples of refreshing peach ice cream and warm peach crumble will add to the joyous atmosphere, available while supplies last.
Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson emphasized the regional significance of the event, stating, “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.” This highlights the market’s role as a cornerstone for local produce and a vibrant community hub.
Indeed, the Burlington County Farmers Market’s reputation precedes itself, having been crowned the best in New Jersey last year—an accolade that speaks volumes about its quality and dedication. Events like the annual Peach Party are pivotal in earning such recognition, showcasing the market’s commitment to offering unique experiences and supporting local agriculture.
The Peach Party is just one of several themed events adorning the market’s calendar this year.
