This South Jersey farmer's market could be crowned best in the nation — if you vote.

The Burlington County Farmers Market, located at the Burlington County Agricultural Center in Moorestown, is one of 20 markets vying for the crown in USA Today's "10Best" Reader's Choice Awards.

“Burlington County is a national leader in preserving farmland and supporting local farmers, and our Burlington County Farmers Market is a testament to that commitment,” Burlington County Commissioner Deputy Director Allison Eckel said in a press release.

Burlington County is the only New Jersey farmers market in the running. The market previously won the top spot in the state in a poll from the American Farmland Trust.

Voting in the USA Today's "10BEST" contest ends April 13 at noon, and people can vote once daily online until polling closes at 10best.usatoday.com/awards/best-farmers-market.

“Just being selected as a finalist with this group is an honor and a reflection of the market’s outstanding farms and vendors, and the enthusiasm and support of not only Burlington County’s residents and communities but the entire region as well,” Eckel said.

The market's regular season is set to begin May 10 with weekly Saturday markets from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Nov. 22.
