Testimonial
"I'm also more conscious about what I'm eating because I'm eating less and want to manage my weight and health. I want to up my standards of food that I'm eating and buy stuff that's more local and pesticide-free. We should be caring about what we're feeding people." - Steven, while attending a C.R.O.P.S. farmers market.
Farm Share Program
As a shareholder in the Farm Share Program, you sign up for a series of produce shares filled with 8-10 varieties of fruits, veggies, and herbs grown by South Jersey farmers, available for pickup in Atlantic City.
The Farm Share Program exists to make fresh, local food available in Atlantic City, support our local farm partners, and connect our communities through a shared appreciation for beautiful food.
The New Roots app uses a sliding scale to determine each person’s cost per share based on your household size and income. Every shareholder receives the same share regardless of payment type or financial resources because everyone deserves nutritious food!
The Food Hub
In the Food Hub, our Team aggregates produce grown by small to mid-sized farms in South Jersey so that it stays fresh and is quickly available to consumers in Atlantic City.
You can find the Food Hub at 167 S Tennessee Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ, in the Orange Loop. In 2024-2025, $25,373+ of NJ-grown produce was aggregated in the Food Hub, increasing access to nutritious food in our community. The 10 refrigerators we’ve installed at the Food Hub to keep local produce fresh before it goes to Farmers Markets, refrigeration partners, or the Farm Share Program.
