The options and prices are great. I wish I could say the customer service at check out matched. This was my second time shopping here in a while and sadly both check out experiences left much to be desired. A smile is simple and detectable even under a mask.

Fresh veggies and fruits, a lot of variety and cheap prices! They restock very frequently, so the vegetables and fruits are really fresh.They have a section for fresh sea food as well. They sell fishes like Tilapia and Cod, octopus and various types of shrimps like jumbo and medium shrimp. The prices were really good.They sell fresh flowers and bouquets as well. Again, the prices are really good as compared to ShopRite or Wegmans.They sell various types of nuts too. We did not buy nuts from this shop yet!One thing I would suggest is if you shop for groceries on weekends, then visit this place as early as possible in day because towards the end of the day their stock ends and they do not restock everything.They have ample parking space in the market complex. I would highly recommend you buy veggies, fruits, and seafood from this place. Its cheap and the quality is great as well.This review was written to be helpful to you, the consumer, and, to also bring relevant information to the attention of the business in focus.

Great produce prices, however I tried to buy here when I know I will use the items quickly. Definitely are never gardened that any item will be in stock at all times, but pretty much everything is under .99 per LB so that’s the silver lining. Never bought anything from the fish or meat cases in the back, and probably never will, doesn’t look too fresh and prices aren’t as competitive as the produce prices are.

I love this market. Wonderful fruits a vegetables and a great fish market as well. Always get my fresh veggies from here. The only reason I would not recommend is so the place is not so crowded when I go in, totally selfish. Great store.

This is an amazing place for fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. The prices are much cheaper than other market places. I didnt see organic vegetables though. They also sell fresh bread. I always shop here. Meat is sold here but I cannot comment on it as Im a vegetarian

Ive been here multiple times now and The fruits and veggies though cheap dont last long, maybe 2 days or so. Also, obviously I wash my food but I just cant get over the fact that multiple times I have brought home produce with various bugs squashed and stuck to it, just grosses me out.

Ive been going to this market for 3 years now and the quality of products have declined drastically. The past few times Ive visited, many items were with mold. They have strawberries, blueberries, rapsberries with visible mold mold spreading in every single container sitting out and doing nothing about it. This place used to be incredible with the freshest produce, idk whats happened to it.

I LOVE this place. This is the best PRODUCE MARKET in central Jersey, perhaps the best on earth! Yeah, the Korean immigrants who own all the good PRODUCE MARKETS in central Jersey (like all the good Greek immigrants who own the diners, the Italian immigrants who own the pizzerias, the Chinese immigrants who own the Chinese takeout places, the Lebanese immigrants who own the best falafel places, the Irish who own the best taverns, etc.), all mistakenly call their PRODUCE MARKETS: Farmers Markets, instead of PRODUCE MARKETS, which is what they really are. A real farmers market, in central Jersey is held only once a week, outside, during the warm season only, and has ten or fifteen different farmers there, each with their own kiosk, or stand, to sell their produce from. And they are more expensive (like double the price) of supermarkets. But these Korean-owned Farmers Markets, which I call PRODUCE MARKETS, are only 1 owner, not ten or fifteen like real farmers markets, they operate 7 days a week, year-round, and sell produce from all over the world, not just from local farmers. And they are also about ONE-THIRD the price of supermarkets, and are much more like an expanded version of the produce section of a supermarket, with much more variety, greater quantity, and much lower price. Their quality may not always be as good as supermarkets, but a good produce shopper should always examine produce before buying it, anywhere. And they are more crowded than supermarket produce sections, a testament to the excellent prices in these Korean-owned PRODUCE MARKETS (as I call them). So, using the phrase Farmers Market is really a misnomer, from an Americans point of view, but who cares? The unbelievable great price and variety, are what matters. Got it?

If you want to make sure you get what you need always, go on shipment days or the day right after. The food is so fresh its literally almost gone mid-week. Idk if the pandemic has anything to do with that though.

Best produce prices in the area. Very good quality. Their fresh rolls are an amazing value. In addition to the produce store, there is a fish market in the back left of store. Fresh fish, clams, crabs are available. And there is a European deli which sells Polish sausage, cheeses and cookies, as well as Italian and other products. Highly recommend.

Review №37

We make the trip here all the way from Flemington and load up! The prices are amazingly low and it is absolutely the best place to buy corn in season and plantains. The fruits and vegetables are of reasonable quality - but pick carefully. In the back there is an independent ethnic meat market and a fish market too. Weve never been able to spend more than $45 there - even with a packed shopping cart! Highly recommended!

Review №38

Outstanding fruits and vegetables at the cheapest prices in all of Central Jersey! Having gone to all the other farmers markets within 15 miles of my house, Rt 28 Farmers Market is the cheapest and one of the top 3 for cleanliness, variety, and freshness. However, you still have to analyze certain items for freshness. Mold happens, and I expect it with buying fresh produce. Its all good 👍!

Review №58

Value for money, thats why usually crowded.Mostly fresh but needs more frequent sorting of rotten items from the lot else it ruins the buying experience when you pick an item and its all over you hand.Staff hardly speaks/understands English.But still i go because its much better value than any other place around (may be 30-50% cheaper than stop n shop, shoprite etc.)

You can get some great prices if you are willing to pick through the fruits and vegetables a little.

Review №61

Price is right, crowded lot so bring patience, go early, check out people either dont understand or dont speak, its almost rude.Its the dirtiest retailer/food store Ive ever been to. I just dont get it. Someone in Middlesex is getting paid off. The fish retailer is in the back. It smells horid. I saw the lady moving the fish fillets smelling them to see what I assume is to check if its fresh. Ok, really?I only by vegetables here if Im desperate. I would never by fish there.

Great produce, great prices that nowhere else can beat. They have a fish counter and a deli counter that are also great. You have to pay these counters separately, just fyi. They accept EBT at the counters and at the front for the produce.
