Salem County is the quiet, farm-heavy corner of South Jersey, where Route 40 crosses flat fields between Woodstown, Pilesgrove and the Delaware River. Field & Flock Lavender Farm on Williams Road opens two fields to visitors during its posted hours and makes oils and soaps on site. Copper Knoll Farms near Elmer grows 13 lavender varieties alongside elderberries and log-grown mushrooms and opens its farm store on select days. Farther north, on the Voorhees and Gibbsboro line, Lamorè Lavender sells its salts, sugars and mists at the Collingswood Farmers Market on Saturdays in season.
The rest of the day can be very local: the Cowtown market, running since 1926, is three miles from Field & Flock, and the 19th-century river forts and lighthouse at Pennsville are about 25 minutes west. Glassmaking history at WheatonArts in Millville and Revolutionary War sites in Gloucester County are within 40 minutes.

The ferry from Fort Mott to Fort Delaware ran April 25 to September 27 in 2026, and the Whitall House at Red Bank Battlefield gives tours Thursday to Sunday from April to mid-October. In fall, Copper Knoll Farms opens its farm store on October 24, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and sells at the Autumn Market at Woodstown Central Railroad on November 7, 2026. WheatonArts stays open Thursday to Sunday through December.
