The county has acquired the Smithville Estate, a 200-acre tract located in the southeast corner of Eastampton Township, for permanent dedication to outdoor recreation. Included in the acquisition was the historic H.B. Smith Mansion, which has been restored. It houses many fine cultural and heritage activities. Smithville Lake has also been developed into a multifaceted, water-related recreational center. It produces much of the sweet corn and fruit raised in New Jersey.
Dairy farms are numerous.
Barclay, apples, strawberries, soybeans and peaches are other prevalent crops that the county produces. The largest blueberries in the world were developed and are raised in Burlington County. Burlington County is the second-largest cranberry producing area in the United States. A continuing effort to expand the foreign market has resulted in substantial sales of fresh and frozen blueberries in England. Efforts are being made to establish similar markets in the major countries of Europe.
