Farmers Market FAQ
When Does the Market Start?
The market begins June 4, 2023 and ends October 15, 2023. It is every Sunday from 10 AM - 2 PM.
Where is the Market Located?
The market is located in the Rancocas Woods Village of Shops on Creek Road in Mount Laurel, NJ. It takes place off Conestoga Lane in Mount Laurel, NJ. It is behind our stage and courtyard adjacent to where our hot dog stand, “The Shack”, meets Creek Road.
The Shack is a small red schoolhouse-type building on the corner of Conestoga Lane and Creek Road and is located at 120 Creek Road, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054.
What Happens if it Rains?
We are a rain or shine event.
It is rare that a farmers market is completely canceled. HOWEVER, in the case of severe weather we may cancel the market. It will be announced by 7AM if the market will be closed for the day.
If we ever have lightning in the middle of a market day, the market needs to close down. We may call for a rain delay or close early in this instance.
Expect to be out in the rain unless it's a thunderstorm. A tropical storm or hurricane remnants is also a case for severe weather where it may be wise to close completely for everyone's safety.
Again, we will let all vendors know by 7AM and announce this on our social media platforms if the market will be closed.
Can I Bring a Pet to the Market?
Yes, well-behaved animals are more than welcome to join us. You must clean up after your pet. If your animal is not well-behaved or you fail to clean up after your pet, your pet will be banned from the market. Be mindful, there will be live music!
