Cowtown Farmers Market is a huge indoor and outdoor market located in Pilesgrove. This southern NJ staple is known for its iconic red barn exterior and rodeo located just next door.

The Cowtown Market got its start as a livestock auction back in 1926. Since then, it has expanded to include a flea and farmers' market. Although livestock auctions ceased in 2007, you'll still be able to find just about anything here amongst its 400 indoor and outdoor vendors selling everything from apparel and accessories to antiques, toys, fresh fruits and veggies, Amish baked goods, electronics, seasonal items, and so much more.
