Business Description
Camden’s Fresh Mobile Market provides seasonal NJ Fresh produce to the people of Camden, at low prices.
Camden’s Fresh Mobile Market launched in Spring 2013, to provide seasonal, quality Jersey Fresh fruits and vegetables directly to the people of Camden, at low prices. Camden residents do not have adequate access to fresh foods and Camden is one of the Worst 9 “Food Deserts” in America, according to the USDA. From the Mobile Market’s inception, it was decided that this program would benefit Camden by providing residents access to healthy choices directly in their neighborhoods. The Mobile Market program was funded by a $63,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation.
Payment Accepted: Cash, Debit, Credit and EBT!

Some of the produce will be grown at the CCGC’s Urban Farm on 3rd and Beckett Streets in Camden, NJ. CCGC Board member and supporter, Duffield’s Farm in Sewell, NJ, will also supply produce. In addition, the CCGC’s “Camden Grows”, the USDA Entrepreneurial Gardening Program, will enable Camden Community Gardeners to make a profit by selling their surplus of crops to the Mobile Market Program.
Shop at the Camden Children’s Garden Mini Farm Stand on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 10am-4pm. Also on Thursdays, we have an ongoing Mobile Market Stop across from City Hall on Federal Street in late morning until early afternoon.

The Camden’s Fresh Mobile Market will be stopping in various districts throughout Camden and we will be updating residents on route schedules thru community center contacts, flyers, social media, and mailing lists.

The vehicle utilized is a large van purchased at a discounted rate from Holman Ford Lincoln using the grant, and the renovated trailer was refabricated. The refrigerated trailer allows staff to safely transport the fresh produce. The trailer’s outside sports a vegetable themed “Fresh Mobile” sign that includes the Camden Children’s Garden phone number.
The CCGC is growing, selling and promoting the nutritional value of eating fresh locally-grown food to improve the health of Camden residents, as well as, helping to fight hunger.
