Salem County Agritourism

With nearly 43% of its land under active farm cultivation, Salem County is known as “The Garden Spot of the Garden State.”  Since colonial times, farming and agriculture has been the economic mainstay for most of Salem County. 
 
Agritourism is quickly developing into a large part of the tourism industry and is believed to soon become one of the largest sectors of tourism. Salem County is the logical choice for agritourism featuring:

farmers markets roadside farm markets u-pick farms community supported farms organic farms

honey & hive products  wineries fairs, food & fall festivals sheep/aplaca products aquaculture

hunting farms  u-cut Christmas trees autumn corn mazes gardens & arboretums nurseries/garden centers

Sponsored by New Jersey Conservation Foundation, the purpose of this section of the Discover Salem County website is to promote agritourism. Inside, you will find listings of the various places of interest to the new Salem County tourist – the agritourist.

New This Year: The Woodstown Farmers Market is scheduled to begin May 8th, 2009 and run through October on Fridays from 9am-2pm. The Woodstown Farmers Market is sponsored by the Woodstown-Pilesgrove Business Association and will feature Jersey Fresh fruits and vegetables from local Salem County farms, local musicians and local Woodstown food vendors.
