Today we took advantage of being retired geezers on a Monday and drove out to Indio to buy some…read morefresh produce and get some lunch that has been recommended here on Nextdoor. The store is on the northeast corner of Jackson and Avenue 50. {If you don't want to have heart palpitations, come in from Calhoun Street going south and turn right on Avenue 50, and right into the lot on the corner of Jackson because the cars from the two two-lane roads hustling at that Stop Sign are enough to raise your blood pressure a lot.} We saw displays of the most beautiful produce inside the door. Plump oranges, zucchinis, broccoli, cucumbers and many other items show off their freshness and aroma. We found cucumbers, zucchini, carrots and the most fragrant strawberries ever. A bottle of Pico Pica hot sauce rounded out the purchase. Their food truck is parked on the southeast corner of their lot. @elowtitos @lgdesertstore We ordered two carne asada mulitas, a burrito, and loaded fries. Everything was delicious. The staff in the store as well as the food truck are so lovely. My husband was using a walker and everyone in the store was super helpful. We look forward to scooting over often now that we know about this wonderful group of people and the magnificent fruits and vegetables.

While I understand the effort to offer fresh, locally sourced produce, the prices feel a bit high, especially considering that this side of Indio is more lower-middle class. Perhaps they could consider lowering prices on produce that's slightly going bad to make it more accessible to everyone!

Their shop opens at 10am, and they do sell out most days at this point in the season so I would recommend getting to the stand early. This season, strawberries are $5.99/pint, $15 for 3 pints.

I must love abuse as I keep trying to shop here hoping it will get better and it never does…read more Overpriced, no customer service and the store isn't very clean at all! The bathrooms are just short of disgusting and corporate needs to upgrade this store. The produce area is filthy and the people checking people out are clueless to the line, how their personal conversations take up a customers' time and I use the self checkout because of this. Some of these other reviews cannot be legit and honest. The employees are not amazing, the store is not clean and the food here is not delectable. Anyone who claims this store is clean is not telling the truth period. The last sushi rolls we purchased here a week ago were awful. Dried out rice, too much wasabi and not even a half inch of fish or filling. No thank you. Forget the deli department! They put on gloves, answer the phone in them, open doors to the fridge etc... then proceed to use the SAME gloves to slice the overpriced Boars Head meat & cheese! Yuck...not very sanitary

Great attitude and there to assist 100% an excellent ambassador to the brand, he has the right stuff. YESTERDAY, While this is not the closest market, it is the one I choose to drive to as the market itself is great. Some of the staff, not so happy to be there. LOCATION: Excellent as long as you know how to get there off the 111. Don't miss the turn or you are screwed. Lots of parking and carts. FACILITY: Very nice buildout, wide isles, and ascetically very easy on the eye as you can see across the store. Bright and open. SELECTION: Not a huge selection but for me most of what I am looking for in greens, fish, and breads. I have my favorites and they are always in stock. QUALITY: Always top quality, someone is on this. Veggies are top notch and always arranged well. Excellent bread options as well as bulk. PRICING: About the same as other markets. STAFF: Since I shop here about one a week, not sure on this one, most people working here just do not seem happy or overly helpful. My last visit on a not busy afternoon, saw 10 people waiting to pay with one poor guy doing his best checking and bagging as a co-worker looked on and ignored the situation. She is also a manager I believe. Yo, we all got options do your job make happy customers happen especially when they are trying to pay so they can get on with their day. People here are obviously doing their jobs as the market is always looking great and well stocked, but zero eye contact, no smiles, and seem like robots... hummmm, maybe they are? I hope they are happy. TIP: Getting there early check out the Managers Specials, great deals to be had on turn items.

Easy to find but parking can be difficult at times. FACILITY: perfect location for a farmers market, lots of vendors and open spaces. They seem to be dog friendly which is unusual for most open markets. SELECTION: all kinds of things from fruits and vegetables to handmade crafts. Lots of vendor food as well as local restaurants to choose from Tamales are great. OVERALL VALUE: while it is fun, it is really expensive for fresh produce. Not sure why that is but we just look around and seldom purchase anything as most of it seems overpriced. TIP: Get there when it opens, parking is easier and lines at the popular booths are shorter.
