The Delaware River forms the eastern boundary of this county of gentle hills and fertile valleys in the Piedmont region. Suburban development from Philadelphia has converted much agricultural land, leaving farming concentrated in the northern and western areas.

Remaining farms focus on high-value direct marketing including nursery crops, vegetables, and agritourism operations serving dense population centers. Horse farms and equestrian facilities utilize preserved farmland, while traditional dairy and crop farms operate on protected agricultural lands.
