Jerk Turkey with Swiss, lettuce and honey mustard.
Alyssa R.

This place is, as far as I'm concerned, the best deli in Clinton Hill... for a multitude of reasons: #1 their name is annoyingly clever. Farmer in the Dell/Deli? Come on - tell me you don't remember singing that silly nursery rhyme way back in like 1st grade? The farmer in the dell The farmer in the dell High-ho the derry-o The farmer in the dell I've caught myself humming it twice now while waiting for my sandwich. :-X #2 They've got a good lineup of meats, cheeses & condiments available for sandwiches. Options include the classics honey turkey, roast beef and grilled chicken; plus spicy options like jerk turkey and buffalo chicken. Cheeses range from good ol' fashioned American to Muenster and everything in between. #3 Prices are on point. $4.50-5.50 for a roll, $5.50-$6.50 (I think) for a hero. And they don't cheap out on the meats either. #4 There's a plethora of snacks and drinks in the deli as well. Arizona teas (still just $1!), Vitamin Water, Pepsi, etc etc. #5 The Staff is so welcoming and have been so nice each and every time I come in for lunch. I've been there several times in the last few months and have no plans to stop. They make a good sandwich so why would I? If you stop by for lunch - I highly recommend the following: jerk turkey, Swiss, bacon (it might be turkey bacon), honey mustard and lettuce. So good, especially when they warm it up.

Hi-ho the Deli, yo!! We stopped here and got a couple sandwiches to go - a turkey pastrami and a roast beef. We walked, bused and trained to our location - about 3 hours - before cracking open that little gift wrapped torpedo of flavor. When we opened our sandwiches and bit into them, there was no way of knowing they had been sitting in the bottom of a plastic bag for hours, being crushed. When I bit into my roast beef, it's as if the gods delivered a message to my mouth, saying "we aren't worthy - there's only one true God and it's evident in the craftsmanship of this sandwich." When I was in the deli I tried to make small talk with the sandwich king behind the counter. He's not one for small talk. I asked him if he recommended anything. He said, "place your order." But when he started slicing the beef and slapping onto the bread, it's like he said "I heard you and I love you, but I've got to keep up this facade behind the counter. I'll make up for it with an amazing sandwich." So he did. The turkey pastrami was also really good, but my heart belongs to that roast beef.

This is a brilliant little grocery with all the essentials and quite a bit of Asian variety…read moreavailable too, along with a small produce selection. There's a lot packed in there! It's a good choice for coffee, snacks, but also fennel, vegan food, kimchi, or eucalyptus cuttings (and, like many small grocery stores, some things are better deals than others). Importantly for the neighborhood, Bad Wife also sell live plants and flowers at very reasonable prices. In the spring and summer, they'll often have flowering plants available. I've always had great interactions with the staff here, and am a fan of the place.

Earlier today, I purchased several plants. In the evening, I returned to the store to return those…read moreitems, for a refund. I no longer wanted those plants. Mrs. Lee refused to accept the return. She referred to a sign that read, plants are not returnable. That particular sign was displayed at at the back of the plant section, on a high shelf. Interestingly enough, at the cash register, there is a sign that states, "Refund policy provided within 2 days receipt." It is mandatory for stores to visibly display their return policy at the cash register. 'The Bad Wife' failed to do so. Mrs. Lee's attitude was rude and dismissive despite being told return policies must be clearly visible by the cash register.

The fresh produce here is much more fresh than at neighboring grocery stores - it tastes better,…read morelasts longer, and generally there is an organic and non-organic options to whatever produce you want to buy. They also have a much larger variety of fresh and packaged produce than neighboring grocery stores. They have loads of gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, BPA free, organic etc products too. The meats here are fresher and they are generally always well stocked with whatever I need. They ALSO have loads of ready made meals - pizza, pastas, fresh salads, soups, sushi, a mini patisserie, bakery (including cakes, bagels of diff flavors, fresh pretzels etc), cheese bar (with every kind of cheese you can think of, both local and imported from around the world). They offer a wide range of organic juices and international lunch foods to pack and go. The shop is always immaculate and the products are never dusty/expired. The customer service here is amazing - employees are super nice and extremely attentive, and even when DoorDash screwed up my order, they went out of their way to repack it and use one of their own guys to deliver it to me so I wouldn't have to deal with the frustration of Whenever there is a hard to find product that comes to mind, I know FGM is going to carry it. Is it more expensive? Yes. But that's because the produce is fresher, tastes better, is healthier, and there is a huge variety of local products coming from smaller farms and smaller companies (which equals a higher price).

This place is very expensive for just about everything. That's why it's always empty even in this…read morewealthier neighborhood. Feels like Chelsea prices. They have great ready to take meals though and great hot bar and cold bar. Good cafe. Even seating to eat. Great drink selections. Good butcher. If you can afford to shop here, it's splendid. Their produce and fruit prices are wild though. They have great local products like bread and oatmeal and beverages which I really respect and like supporting.
