This is not a bad review, just a observation. The last couple of times getting American chop suey there were hardly any peppers. Are they making it different now? read more

your chicken palm socks, too dry. not good the calzones are very little sauce and shit. Depends on what you get meatball

Chicken broccoli and ziti is the best! I like all of the premade dishes plus the staff is clean and very friendly. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Excellent fresh produce, cheese and bakery We always order our special holiday food: turkey roasts and chicken

I order from this place once or so a year to get pizzas for a big party I may be having and EVERY time it is a hassle to get my order on time. From the people behind the counter who have no idea what I am looking for or my order not being ready despite ordering it weeks in advance it is always a hassle. I will not be using this place for my party food any more. read more

Loved their produce selection and their meat section as well. however, the prices are not that loving. Only bought fruits and went to market basket for everything else read more

There are several things I love about this store. Their produce is great. Good selections of salads, pastas and some cold deli. Everything I buy tastes good. This place has expensive non-perishable goods, but I found some fruits are cheaper than other stores, like apples and watermelon. Overall a good grocery store, with less customers and a pleasant environment. read more

I'm not the one to post negative reviews but I just feel it's deserving. Wife and I got the meatball calzone and American chop suey and honestly it was awful. The meatballs were hard as a rock and just disgusting. The American chop suey was so sweet. I know some people put sugar in their sauce but this was over kill. Again sorry for the bad review but it had to be done. Wife and I will not be going back. Far to many options in the area read more

Ordered a medium Italian sub. For almost $10, they could've added cheese. An Italian sub without provolone, really? About two months ago, I ordered a sandwich with three ingredients: turkey cheese and mayo. They forgot the cheese and mayo. read more

For the first time in years, we were hosting a party at home. I didn't want to deal with cooking, so I called Farmland for a little bit of catering. Everything was SO GOOD! The cauliflower parmesan was a big hit - very unexpected! I got a tray of mini pastries and they were all on point. Pick up was easy and friendly. Surprisingly, it also didn't break the bank! I need to remember to come back to try the deli! read more

I ordered 2 slices of pizza and the slices were put in a BAG! Not a paper plate or box but a BAG. Never again

Been coming here since I was little. The best ham and cheese crossiants in all of mass. I love this place so much the people the bakery it's so great! read more

Adorable mom and pop market, not meant for your full shopping spree. As expected a tad pricy and limited selection, but has most of the essentials. Bakery looked great, will have to try some of their Italian cookies and biscotti next time. Love having this market in the heart of Wakefield! read more

Really disappointed in their quality of food lately. We have been going to the Farmland for over 20 years and we never had an issue with the food. But we do now. What I have experienced recently is their salads contain old brown lettuce and old tomatoes. Definitely not fresh. They used to have the freshest salads of anywhere around. They are also half the size they used to be. I would rather they keep their salads fresh but charge more money if necessary. I also purchased a quart of their clam chowder-literally no clams in there- just potatoes!! Farmland please do not ruin your reputation with non quality food! read more

If you like stale pastries go here! Used to be a descent place but has gone downhill in a hurry! Try some place else for fresher foods and desserts! read more

Board of health violation. Allows dogs in the store behind the bakery counter. Snapped this pic right before the bakery personnel started petting the dog. I have dogs but left mine at home. Decided not to purchase baked goods here as I did not want my goods boxed with unsanitary hands. read more

We had a Tenant meeting Thursday and ordered finger sandwiches, four varieties. Absolutely perfect, lovely presentation and a side arrangement of condiments, fresh, delicious and priced for affordability. Prepared on time, exactly as we would have wished, better than that, actually and I had help to the car with these trays. I have been a customer for 40 years and each year I get older but Farmland gets better and better. Quality and consistency and a more than a flair for perfection. Judith O. of Wakefield read more

Went there for eggplant. Bought two premade "large" containers that you just take home and cook. These were the absolute worst eggplant I have ever had. I believe they left the skin on. It was so chewy, it never broke down. The worst ever. read more

I had a hard day . Went to the Farmland ordered a Meatball Calzone and a half of Steak and Cheese Calzone... I called to tell the manager "Frank" to tell him I got the wrong order with the right label.I do not live near the establishment I didn't want anything for free but I was looking for a little acknowledgment .... I got neither Just the brush off and the disgusting look of something I don't like and didn't order...I will never be back because of lack of customer support... I wish the Farmland luck but the luck will be without support from me............ Frank I read your review... I don't think you read mine... I said I didn't want anything I also said you weren't receptive.... I also don't appreciate you calling me a liar for calling you out .... There is no need for name calling... read more

Over the past dozen years since moving here I've come to Farmland for bakery items, deli items, and occasional produce. I have noticed over the past year they've been on a downward spiral, and this weekend will definitely be my last visit. On Saturday, July 6, late afternoon, I went in and purchased a pound of cole slaw, a pound of orzo salad, a bucket of 'fresh cut' fruit salad, a bunch of bananas that still seemed to have some green on them, and some cherry tomatoes. In addition, I purchased hot dog ad hamburger rolls and two bottles of Diet Coke. I'll give credit where credit is due...the deli salads were delicious. This is what warranted one star. HOWEVER... Yesterday I opened the fruit salad. it was COMPLETELY inedible. The melons were slimy with a horrible, disgusting, milky film all over them, the strawberries inside were completely rotted, and the pungent smell of fermented fruit made me nauseous. In the garbage it went...I should have checked the rest of the stuff at that point, because... This morning I went to grab one of the bananas to go with my cereal. The entire bunch was already rotting! Not just ripe...but the peels had split and the bananas were liquefying! It was awful! In the trash all the fruit went (I hadn't opened the tomatoes but didn't trust them at this point)...all $20 worth. Oh...the hot dog rolls were smushed because I didn't pay close enough attention and the cashier put them in the same bag as the Diet Coke. I'll stick with Shaw's...their prices are astronomical but at least the food is edible. Sorry Farmland, you've created a (completely disgusted) FORMER customer. read more

I am glad to have a small independent grocery store near my house, BUT, the cashiers are borderline hostile. No smile, no hello, no thank you. And throwing my food into the bag doesn't help either. Does management care? I'm guessing they are all family so they either look the other way or don't see it as a problem, but they seem determined to drive customers away. I hear this complaint from almost everyone I talk to once Farmland comes up in conversation. Now I only go there when I'm truly short on time and I need just a few items. read more

I love local grocers. It will be sad when they are all gone. -What I appreciate about farmland...veggie salads, basil and peppers plus pasta & bread in back. Good stuff. The deli guys are either super nice or super not nice. Then again, people waiting in deli lines are mostly awful so I give them an A+ for patience. The pastry ladies always nice despite the madness on weekends. -Just try to avoid buying a jar of Mayo here because it will cost you a small fortune. Either way, long live Farmland! May your deli dudes stay salty and your fresh basil plentiful. read more

Incredibly high prices and the bakery often runs out of popular items. What kind of Italian-American bakery runs out of zeppole on St. Jospeh's day? Or ricotta pie on Father's Day? Imagine a florist running out of flowers on Valentine's Day. Call before going. Produce and deli prices are crazy. read more

11/8/2010 rvsd Never again will I go there! Customer Service- seems like if there a conflict w your order its your fault! Me in tears the Mgr says no faxes really? That's why I was given one and confirmed. The Mgr walked away & seemed to careless. Nice!!!!! They did my daughters 18th cake & royally messed up on it & it looked horrible. Even with a fax, called in & went over the order they didnt do it!!! Scrapped part of the top & messy looking. They offered make another one/deliver but there was really no time & actaully they were going to scrap the whole cake. REALLY not thanks, I'll go elsewhere for EVERYTHING!!! SO embarrassed, I asked for just a case out of the case but was handed the horrible one and said dont worry about the price. Kidding me!!! Enjoy the archini's & the orzo salad. Check your receipt for pricing since sometimes items ring up more. The only conflict is visiting in the pm is limited items (deli & bakery) gone. It's ok for me but NOT a regular basis anymore. Sometimes, it seems to ask a question(s) is bothering the staff. read more

Farmland is my go to for a calzones And Sicilian style pizza! by far the best calzones in the area! Brought them to a Christmas Eve party and everyone of them. Steak n cheese so good, Chicken cutlet Parm packed with chicken and the Italian delicious. They are not stingy at all with their fillings very nicely packed. Will be ordering more for New Year's Eve ,sad to see some of the poor reviews I think farmland has a great selection for take out/catering. Always my go to!! read more

Review applies only to the Bakery. This place, if you love real whipped cream as much as I do, you will like this place. Breakfast on the rush, we happened to see Farmland right across the street and saw a bakery sign, so we were like, meah, give it a try. It was the RIGHT PLACE TO GO! Grocery store itself was nothing too special, but the deli counter was so large and emerged into your face, you can not miss it. Sadly, the bakery was hiding behind the deli counter, a little lonely. It was early though I suppose. The moment I saw the display area, I was instantly in heaven! Soo many varieties of pastries, I was literally trying to get every single piece. They ain't exactly cheap, but worth the penny you put down. Legit, real, fluffy cream and puffs, fresh fruit. It was like a pastry porn. Lady behind the counter was grouchy looking and had a very heavy Italian accent. I guess it's just a european thing...Reminded me of one of my favorite local French place owned by a French lady. She always looks pissed too. Who cares, they make good bread and cake. They have the right to be grouchy! read more

I have gone to Farmland and usually bought prepared meals like Lasagna etc But the last two times I bought the Broccoli Chicken and Pasta yesterday I discovered there was only one little piece of chicken amongst a ton of penne Also I ordered the stuffed peppers for someone else and there was only a scant amount of meat in the stuffing I understand the prices are the best around here but they either need to do a better job with their products or charge higher prices and include the right amount of ingredients to satisfy the customer read more

I have had it. I keep trying but paying too much for food that ends up in the trash. Garden salad with rotten tomatoes. Chicken salad that doesn't taste giid. Fruit salad with rotten strawberries. Don't waste your money. read more

Shop local !! The bonus is I actually really love this store. Great produce and meats. So thankful they were there for our community during the pandemic. They followed safety precautions for us to feel secure. read more

Fantastic selection of meats and seafoods. Also prepared meals are very good and affordable!

I stopped in here because I drove by and it looked like it might be good. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. The vegetables were extremely fresh, the bakery fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back. read more

I love the quality ingredients I can get here! From the meat to the cold cuts and great selection of Italian foods.

Quality of food has gotten progressively worse over the years but somehow, the prices remain consistent with competition. Staff (from cashiers to deli workers) are always rude and unpleasant. I really don't need to spend my money on a place that doesn't appreciate my business. I recommend going to J. Pace in Saugus for better EVERYTHING and to save yourself some disappointment. read more

I heard alot of great things anout farmland so I decided to give them a try and let them cater my super bowl party ( big responsibility) and they did not disappoint Got a couple different trays off pasta , 2 sheet pizzas and 3 calzones. Everything was delicious And there price was very reasonable I had a 430 pick up time and ypu could tell everything was fresh as the trays and boxes were piping hot Farmland you are my go to place for catering read more

We're new in town and have gone to the deli now twice. Both times were a bit odd in terms of a hostile/grumpy vibe from staff and just ok food that was a bit on the pricy side. They got my order wrong today and it just wasn't worth having it remade as my husband and I had already gotten a bit of a weird vibe from the guy behind the counter (walking off in the middle of our order without us finishing our sentence, handing us wrong item and saying that's what we ordered). read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I stopped getting Italian cold cuts anywhere else years ago. All the groceries are slightly priced higher, but who gives a shit. You don't go there for just cereal, diary, etc. This place is meant for purveyors of delicious delicatessen, pastries, fresh bread, veggies, and whatever the hell else I'm forgetting. Farmland has it covered. I always order the salami, prosciutto, mozzarella, calamari salad, fresh hamburger and seafood. The lines can be a little crazy and confusing, but no one dares cut someone lest they get their ass shanked in line. Hahahaha. The have early closing hours and a somewhat small parking lot, so it's kind of winner gets the prize. What a prize you'll get ;D read more

I now have a favorite Saturday ritual. Since I am taking a class off 128 on Saturday mornings for the next few months, I will no doubt be spending every Saturday afternoon at The Farmland. I knew of the business because my sisters live locally and have brought their calzone to family parties, but until I spoke with the folks at Earth & Vine Provisions in California, I had no idea that The Farmland carried such a selection of food. Since I have a very busy schedule these days, I have been stockpiling provisions like Armageddon is approaching! That said, I only buy good quality food and products (with the exception of buying brand name cleaning products and office supplies in the dollar store). I frequently shop at the Butcher Boy in North Andover, McKinnon's Meat Market in Salem, NH or one of the NH Meat House Stores. They all carry excellent quality meat, breads, some ready made foods and gourmet products. Through one of these stores I got hooked on Earth & Vine Provision products, which they abruptly stopped carrying. I needed a serious fix since I was out E&V Mandarin Pumpkin Marmalade (an addiction) but am too frugal to pay the shipping charges to have it sent in from California. I called Earth & Vine yesterday who led me to The Farmland, and now I am hooked! First off, I bought a variety of Earth & Vine Products that I cannot wait to try, and secondly I am still in shock over the great quality and prices at The Farmland. Even the E&V products were $2 less than the web site price and what I had paid at other markets, so I could afford to take a chance on trying some of their chutney, relish and mustard in addition to another type jam. Since I was starving after class, I had them make me a good old Italian Sub, which was on a large fresh roll stuffed with fresh veggies and imported Italian cold cuts and only $5.00! (And people actually eat those horrible fat ridden $5 footlongs at you know where?) I still have half of it left over. I haven't had an Italian sub in years and I'm glad I chose to indulge at The Farmland since all the ingredients are A+. I came home with some amazing food and the best part is as I was cringing at the cash register the bill rang up at just a fraction of my usual grocery bill. :) Woohoo! A sampling of what I bought: Chicken salad (home made and awesome looking-well reviewed) Baby mozzarella balls with basil in imported olive oil Half a mushroom, spinach and cheese calzone Sirloin burgers to freeze Pound of ground sirloin Freshly made Orzo salad Bakery items: some square pizza, a spinach croissant and 4 other decadent items including mini rum baba and a half moon. Marinated turkey and pork tips A pound of sea scallops-pink and fresh at $7.99 a pound! Cold cuts: 1/3 lb of 2 imported cheeses and a selection of Italian cold cuts including imported Mortadella with pistachios. Chicken and broccoli ziti & amazing fruit including large packages of sliced papaya, mango and raspberries all under $3 each. I know I'm missing a few items, but without the Earth & Vine products my food bill totaled about $50! This same selection of less quality food would have cost me $80-$100 elsewhere. The turkey tips (6 large ones) rang up under $4 as did the ground sirloin and pork tips. Now I have a new exciting place to stop on my way home from class on Saturdays. And the class is turning out to be very cool too, so all in all it's not so bad waking up early on a Saturday morning. The Farmland also does catering for parties and has an amazing selection of gourmet cakes and even Italian pastries. No need to make a trip into the North End or Haymarket Square because great produce and other foods you love can be found right off Route 128 in Wakefield. If you live in the Boston area and haven't discovered The Farmland, check it out! Eat better, and save money. Life is too short to eat anything but the best food. read more

This is like the North Shore Cousin of Russo's, only without the killer produce section. And, the huge cheese section. What it DOES have is a huge bakery section, and a massive wonderful Butcher's Counter. Man, I was kvelling at what they had, and the prices. Unfortunately, I was working, and couldn't buy much. Having meat sitting in my saddlebags all day, would not be a great idea. However, I did get a "French Long Loaf" right out of the oven. Heaven! I also got a couple of ginormous Chocolate Whoopie Pies. The cake was kind of dry, and chalky, but the filling was wonderful. Kind of like a combo of marshmallow fluff, and a mousse. I would try them again, before I judged further. read more
