The Atlantic City Farmers' Market has been providing its neighbors and surrounding communities with access to fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables since 2000. The market operates from July through September and is open Thursdays and Saturdays from 10am to 4pm. Buyers are welcome to interact with partcipating farmers and learn about the value in buying local produce and food. The Atlantic City Farmer's Market is one of over 80 community farmers markets operating in New Jersey.

This market participates in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMP). These programs aim to make locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs available to nutritionally at-risk pregnant, breast-feeding, or post-partum women; children ages two to five years old; and eligible seniors age 60 and older. Through these programs, eligible participants receive four $5 vouchers to purchase locally grown produce from certified local farmer vendors.
