This is especially a welcome addition given that the nearby giant Key Food often has terrible fruit/vegetable selection, is often sold out, or the products are rotten or unripe. I also love how RF sells other little goodies besides whole fruits and vegetables that feel like a special treat, like Halavah and Babybell Cheese, various Asian pantry goods, pomegranate arils in tiny packages and gorgeous bouquets of fresh flowers. I love stopping here on my way to visit someone and picking up something special for them. RF is definitely not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I've never left here unsatisfied with my produce. And the folks who own the place and run the register are so sweet.

Great store with a lot of international products!…read more However, I've noticed a change lately in the cheese department. The store seems to be focusing more on expensive organic products, but unfortunately the quality control on some of the cheeses has gone down. I've purchased several cheeses here recently that tasted over-aged and strongly ammoniated. Properly aged European cheeses should have complex, nutty, earthy flavors -- not a harsh ammonia taste or smell. This has happened multiple times now. One of the biggest issues is that everything is prepackaged in plastic, so you cannot properly smell or assess the cheese before buying it. You only discover the problem once you get home and open the package. A good cheese counter should allow customers to smell or sample cheeses, especially imported and aged varieties.

This is a small but very complete local farmers' market that meets every Sunday on the grounds of…read moreChurch of the Mediator one block away from the 231st station on the 1 train. A must visit market for your fruits and veggies. The farmers' that come here are small family-owned farms from NY & NJ! Everything they carry is fresh, local, and organic with no pesticides or spray. And as if all of the above PLUS having a farmers' market up here in the Bronx isn't amazing enough their prices are ridiculous!!! They are often the same if not cheaper than the regular stuff we find in our supermarkets. Really, I find this to be pretty incredible because organic food is usually so much more expensive, but not here. I went there today and picked up apples, plums, peaches, kale, red basil (smells AMAZING), eggplant, zucchini, cucumbers, tomato, beets and organic corn (I stressed organic because what we find in stores is mostly genetically modified corn) - my total was under $25. The market often has cooking demos and you can always find literature on food education, recipes, seasonality, recycling, etc. and the beautiful ladies that organize this truly do an amazing job and are very passionate about everything the market stands for. If are a local make an effort to stop by you will not be disappointed. Go support!!!

I went to the farmers market this week up in Kingsbridge since I missed the Saturday one in Inwood. When I arrived to the market I was...surprised. There's only one stand! When I think of a farmers market I imagine 10+ vendors selling a variety of locally sourced goods. The stand that was there only has fruits and veggies. I didn't think to ask at the time if there are more vendors during the spring/summer season. The individuals that were running this particular stand were warm and welcoming! At the market I picked up zucchini, squash, and a mini-bucket of brussel sprouts. My favorite part of this market was its affordability - those three items for $5.75?! Sign. Me. UP! The veggies were fresh and great in my dinner Sunday evening. At the end of the day I did have to run to Aldi to pick up items I was hoping to purchase at this market. But it won't stop me from coming back since the prices can't be beat, and I hope they can feature more vendors in the future!

I've seen this place change so much over the last 12 years or so. I appreciate that they carry…read morefresh fruit and veggies for less prices than the supermarket next door. They also have a lot of food necessities and household items. Their flower section is inexpensive and not bad at all - a good place if you want to pick up some everyday flowers for your lady or mom. They'll make fresh bouquets of roses for you if you can find someone. They've always had the 2 registers in the middle of the store which caused 2 lines forming. Now, the cashiers are in the corner and the bright customers can never figure out how to form a line or two. People are all over the place, blocking aisles, and cutting each other off.

Now, I'm sure commercial landlords are used to tenants asking them to rearrange window and door placements on the street front, but to pull down the front wall entirely? I don't think I've ever seen that before. So... needless to say, this place never closes! There's always a really huge selection of fruits and vegetables out front (hence the name of the store, I think) and they're all really reasonably priced, if not downright cheap. Other than that, it's just a really large bodega with an unusual selection of herbs and chilis and other such things I don't recognize from my conservative suburban upbringing. :) Mostly I just enjoy coming here to make jokes about not being unemployed in Greenland. But that just goes to show I've seen The Princess Bride far too many times.

So you have to factor in convenience when determining the status of this place. The stock is larger than the other "fresh market", and they are open longer. Plus. I've had to check the dates on a couple things though. Nothing has ever been overdue, but they do play it close to the wire. I'm suspecting because this place is pretty mom and pop. The stock also goes beyond the strictly generic brands you find in the Rite Aid Pharmacy. I ad a good conversation with one of the staff. So factor in friendly. So for a place in the hood, this shop rocks.
