I finally checked out this place after driving by it on numerous occasions. They offer a variety of…read morefresh local vegetables, fruits, organic vegetables/fruits, potted plants, flowers, potted orchids, and grocery items. I was impressed by their large variety of vegetables including Asian veggies, & some I hadn't even seen before. Their prices are reasonable and look decent. I bought a watermelon which I would avoid. It was mushy on the inside. It's not only at this place but I found it to be the same everywhere. It's because it's overripe. They are located right across from the Richmond Nature Park with free parking out front. They even have shopping carts to lighten the load. A bonus! The place was clean and service was okay. A great place to grab that missing ingredient to create a meal or buy flowers for a special occasion. It's rare to find a market that sells a lot of local produce & fruit. All I can say is support local farmers and businesses!

This is my favourite produce market. I stop by whenever I'm going through Richmond, and sometimes…read moremake a special trip. They have great quality produce, good selection and prices. Parking is easy and free. People are always coming and going, and I've never had issues. They carry seasonal items as well: pumpkins around Halloween, herbs and plants in the spring, flowers etc. They have a section for organics. They sell small plants and herbs for your garden in the back. They also sell huge bags of potatoes in several varieties, onions, hot peppers, Hungarian peppers, dates, eggs, turmeric and more.

If you're like me with variable mobility days, this store is the perfect size to get in, shop & still leave before your too broken from a grocery trip in the winter. The vegetables & fruit are in the open but covered area & the rest, from speciality sweets, local products (I really enjoy grabbing That's My Jam & Hardy Honey) to a little deli of prepared items & meat choices. With a smaller store means there's limited options if you're shopping later at night. So do keep that in mind as well as that there is a bit higher cost to shopping here. I do that trade off with where my mobility days are in winter & distance to drive to the other grocery stores. There looks to be an enclosed seating area beside the deli (but I'm never there early enough to see if that's for customers or only staff), a pizza place just outside the market, beside (but associated with the market) is the cafe with delicious ice cream & doughnuts. And on the side of the cafe, a thrifting shop & outdoor area to sit. both buildings are friendly for all mobility aids entering but inside both places, I wouldn't want to navigate with a walker or wheelchair if it was busy. These places are smaller, so layout is tight. Cane users, just be aware you might need to side shuffle on the busier days & times. There always seems to be plenty of parking in the narrow but long parking lot. I also noticed people do park along the side road too. I can't say I ever see n handicap parking stalls closer to the market itself but there's clear ones by the cafe. Access off the main highway is quick & if you're on the outskirts of Duncan, this would be your first grocery option going into the city. If you're into randomly fun photo opps, there's some neat vintage tractors outside and the market is decorated with all sorts of things. Just be watchful of the traffic as the place is quite busy in the daytime. Last note. But for us disabled folks, a good heads up. I don't know if I randomly walk in the wrong doors or they really hide the baskets well, but never seem to notice where the baskets are placed. That fact itself doesn't bother me as I prefer to shop with my cloth bags being that it's easier for me to carry /I bump less things or people while using my cane & shuffling around. Plus, I avoid triggering my back pain pushing a random cart in a smaller space that often can be crowded. However, instead of ever being offered a basket to use or any help shopping, I have found myself to be subject of some very obvious watching. The last shopping experience (in fall 2025) was so beyond obvious that it reached the point being clearly cut off by staff while I'm trying to reach & look for items. Instead of ever just being asked to switch to a basket while shopping (this particular staff member seemed to have a lot of time on their hands & could of brought me one if they truly just wanted to keep an eye on what I was shopping for), I eventually was given really poor attempt of an apology at the till as I was packing up my paid items (apparently "there's a guy" that comes in randomly with the same bag that tries to shoplift & yet I had 2 bags, interacted with the few other staff & was thoughtfully choosing items from my list while moving at my very limpy pace...). Truthfully, I haven't been back since as it left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not the first time I'm profiled wrongly as a disabled person (my cane is my aid for over 6 years) but this was probably the worst level of assumption (& actions by what I think was even the manager the way he was talking). However, I have to say the regular market staff are always kind & helpful for any questions I have. Most offer to help me with searching for items if I'm standing too long in one spot (which I sometimes do for pain management reasons or to make sure my balance is ok before bending for something). Sometimes staff even get really excited about a product I'm looking at buying. The quality of premade items ranges from good to very tasty. I like there's an assortment of local, Canadian & international items. The market has a few short rows of random goods & treats in the far corner with international highlighted which is always fun to browse. They even support a lot of local initiatives, including selling the cookies from group of disabled bakers. Which comes full circle to how I'm confused to rate this place. So I'll leave it at 4 stars & I'm sure later on during my Island wintering time I'll revisit this market & add to my review.

Uncle Jack had just sold out and all he had left was 10 lb frozen blueberry boxes. We decided to go ahead and pick up a box, despite our long drive home on another hot Vancouver summer day. Uncle Jack gave us the rest of the fresh blubes that he had at the bottom of his boxes for free. (Easily a couple of pints worth!) He's just as sweet as his August harvest blueberries! :)

I always look forward to strawberry season and my trip(s) to Boxx. Bravo! (Worthy of 10 stars)

If you have ever been to Richmond Public Market to actually shop for groceries, and have come down…read morefrom the escalator, you have been to this produce section of the main floor. More like a staple, as they have probably the most prime real-estate of this market, it's your Chinese fruits, veggies, and weird condiments seller that you are so used to shopping at, like a mimic of Chinatown, a bustling market.. just way smaller in scope. It seems like if you a regular at this market, this is the place you will be picking your greens, and there is no order to this chaos. Since coming here on the weekend I noticed they took over a stall across from their main unit, which you scratch your head, but shopping in this place requires a lot of good will and trust... it also requires patience, as the isles are pretty tight, and you are never the only one picking at the fresh produce, and when getting around, some people might not realize they are blocking your path. This is how the people shop here, and this is the norm... espcially to save some $$ compared to the big name supermarkets... you will see the savings. Be a shopper is the advice I have for you if you plan to drop some coin here... as you know with this market there are many vendors fighting for your dollar, and usually we would drop the bling here, but on this day the more attractive looking fresh produce was at the other vendor, but it's always good to come here as your first stop to look at what you need.. including things like dried noodles, sauces... eggs, soy milk.... and of course fruits and veggies!
