Farmers Produce (459 E. Railway Avenue, Paterson, NJ) is my go-to store for such basic staples as…read more milk, butter, juice, tomatoes, onions, scallions, parsley, and lettuce. Generally speaking, no one in the area can beat their prices on those items. A half-gallon of Lactaid milk will cost me just $2.99 at this store. If I go to any other store in the area, I'll pay a dollar or two more for that same half-gallon. The other day I picked up a large, 11-ounce package of organic baby arugula for just $1.99. And when I got to the check-out counter, the gal, Paola (seen in one of the photos I'll post), noticed that some of the arugula at the bottom of the package appeared to be damp or wilted; she said, "Let me get you a better pack," and went in the back and got me a better one. I can't imagine a checker at a big chain supermarket doing anything like that. But it's a small store, they know their customers, and they treat them with care. When I got home one recent hot summer day and found that the half-gallon of milk I'd bought from the store was beginning to turn bad, I took it back to the store and asked if I could get a replacement. They were happy to accommodate me, even though I did not have a receipt. I value that kind of service. And on any given day, there are some real bargains to be found--inside the store or out in front of it. They always have bags of fruits and veggies that--because they're slightly imperfect or a day or two old--are marked down to just one dollar. I'll buy a dollar bag of apples and they're fine. It is a small store. They certainly don't have everything. And not everything is a bargain. But you can always find some real bargains among the fruits and veggies they sell here. Lines at the check-out counter or short, and the workers are helpful and friendly.

This place has really gone downhill. It used to be "hit or miss" on good produce and incredibly…read morefresh flowers at decent prices. More "miss" than "hit". over the past 6 months and unfortunately a consistent disappointment every time I've gone. I keep hoping they just had a bad run, but that's not the case. Quality and service are very poor now. On top of that the employees are inattentive and argumentative in the event you have any question or issue with spoiled produce and flowers that die in less than half the time from even Shop Rite flowers which last 5-6 days, very unpleasant and poor example of customer service. Blueprint on how to lose loyal customers of many years. Good prices but you get what you pay for. The only way they'll survive is by duping new customers but eventually people learn the hard way. Never going back. Took me a while to give up on them after my many years of shopping there frequently, but I work too hard for my money to waste it on poor quality produce/ flowers, poor management, and difficult employees.

Farmers market located in Paterson…read more The parking is an adventure. There is a lot of it but it was a traffic jam. Be prepared for that. They had a lot of selections in the market. Plenty of fruits and vegetables, a butcher, deli, frozen foods, and more. No shortage of options. My complaint here is the crowd. It's nuts in there. Got pushed and shoved a few times and you feel rushed. If only this place was larger with more room for people and carts.

One of the oldest farmer's markets in New Jersey and clearly the only surviving one in continuous…read moreoperation in north Jersey, this is exactly precisely what a farmer's market was, is, and should be: an area located near a railhead -- or canal dock, or other such large transportation hub -- for the purpose of selling whatever just came off the train, or whatever is going on the train later that day. The freight train no longer stops here, but the market lives on. On any given day you will find whatever it is you need to find, fresh, daily, at this market. The shame of it, Corrado's does a better job at presentation and sometimes even pricing, and it's about two blocks away. You're then given something of a choice, which is to stay at this open-air bazaar (and it has traditional storefronts as well, as is open 24/365 because enough religious contingents overlap to make that possible)... or get in your car and go to Corrado's. Most in the neighborhood elect to preserve life and limb and not attempt to cross Crooks Avenue, as it has become overly-trafficked in the past ten years. Good luck even trying to make a left onto Crooks in a car. In any case, if you happen to live in the neighborhood, this beats A&P and Pathmark, etc hands-down. It's a rare enough resource and worth the trip, especially since it puts you close to so much South Paterson goodness. -C

By the way, on Saturday this place is real busy. I would imagine the weekdays are easier to shop.
