Verchios is your best bet without a car. Its really close to Westville (if not in Westville). We got enough produce for a week for the 4 of us for $14. Also Philly is just a short bus ride away and super easy if you're in Westville. Which you've probably figured out since the op.
My husband and just bought a home in Woodbury and are starting to explore our options with coops in the area.
There's a wonderful Amish market in Mullica Hill straight down rt 45.

Just to add. I recently saw signs on Route 130 near Collings Ave. for a new Amish Market in what is technically Haddon Twp. It is being built on the grounds of the old drive-in movie theater. So, for folks in the immediate Philly area, that will be their closest option sometime in the future.
I couldn't find much online other then a basic website that shows an artist conception of the market and has areas where you can provide contact information for opening a store. There's apparently going to be space for 300 outdoor flea market vendors and 100 indoor stores that will be open year round:

When I grow my own veggies I go organic, at the market it's whatever .. just fresh. With that in mind check out am asian supermarket, Sun Seng, on Rt 38 in Pennsauken. 130 to airport circle, 38 to the first light @ Mansion Blvd, loop back to the airport circle thru the jug handle it's a quarter of a mile on the right. Amazing selection of beautiful fresh veggies and fish ... even live fish and frogs ( if not vegan ;-) ).
Rinse, lather, relax.

Since you mentioned organic and we had been talking about Amish markets, I think it's worth it to point out that Amish products are NOT organic in any way, shape or form. A lot of people have this notion that they are "organic" or "natural" but the truth is that Amish farmers use of all the same pesticides, antibiotics, etc. that 'regular' farmers do. Head up to Lancaster and you'll see plenty of draft animals pulling carts with giant plastic drums of pesticide as they treat their fields. The Amish are a unique bunch and every community is a little different, but the ones that are selling things at the Stolzfus markets don't exactly shun modern things, especially in the realm of treating their livestock and crops with decidedly unorganic things.

Do you know the exact location of where it is planning to be?
Any info on opening?
Here are the google map coordinates for the property where the sign is located:
39.909415,-75.096016
It basically lies north of Grant Ave. between 168/Mount Ephraim Ave. and Route 130. I believe it used to be an old drive-in movie theater, but who knows what it was after that. AFAIK the property has been abandoned for a long time. The location places it in what is technically part of Haddon Twp. and directly across from the Pathmark in the Fairview section of Camden on 168/Mount Ephraim Ave. Given how 130 is at that exact point, I think the entrance to the market is going to be from 168/Mount Ephraim Ave. and the buildings along the bottom edge of the property are going to become the indoor market.
As for when it might be opening, I honestly have no idea. I drive down that section of 130 everyday on my way home and just noticed the sign a little while ago and then found that very basic website about it.
