The Hunts Point Cooperative Market is a 24/7 wholesale food market located on 60 acres in the Hunts…read morePoint neighborhood in the Bronx. Hunts Point Produce is the largest food distribution center of its kind in the country. Hunts Point Food Distribution Center houses the Fulton Fish Market and a produce market. Hunts Point Market is the source for approximately 50 percent of the New York region's meat. More than 50 independent wholesale food businesses located at the Market supply food to over 22 million people in the New York metropolitan area. All of that being said, this week of Thanksgiving they had their busiest day of the year. This place is phenomenal. It's a great place for teachers to take their classes on a field trip. If you want to visit I suggest you contact their main office and speak to someone. It's definitely a learning experience!

The Hunts Point Produce Market is the largest of the three wholesale food markets at the Hunts…read morePoint Food Distribution Center, and claims to be the largest produce market in the world, supplying 60% of New York City's produce, and feeding 9% of the total U.S. population. While the Produce Market generally deals in wholesale operations, regular consumers may also enter the Market. So, is the Produce Market worth a visit? Not really, though in principle, more should. The Produce Market is basically four long open-air rows of vendor "stalls" lined with loading bays and temperature-controlled storage sections that look a lot like a Costco's walk-in refrigerated produce section. You're just looking at lots and lots of everyday organic and non-organic fruits and vegetables -- mundane sights, despite the market's bustle. My take-away impression of the Produce Market was that it felt antiquated, and in need of modernization. Although most New Yorkers focus very much on the end of the food chain, all New Yorkers should become more aware of the issues and challenges faced by the Produce Market. Unless you're very wealthy, it is likely that at least some of your produce passes through this Market. Entry pricing seems somewhat convoluted, requiring $3 per person and $2 per car (more for larger vehicles). A government-issued ID is required for entry into the Produce Market. The printed entry receipt is designed to contain your name and date-of-birth. I could not see any business purpose to disclosing such information on a receipt. Interestingly, the neighboring Fulton Fish Market admits people at a straight $7 per car (more for larger vehicles), and does not have ID requirements. Park your car anywhere parking is available, taking note of parking signs -- don't block spaces that trucks need to maneuver and dock; and enter the market from pretty much anywhere you can find an entrance. Customers are generally required to purchase full trays / crates. Pricing is pretty good, but if you're an ordinary consumer, you likely won't need that much of one kind of fruit / vegetable.

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.

The prices for everything are very reasonable and affordable so that is the main reason it gets so packed but if you go early or late on a weekday, you can avoid the long lines so disregard people complaining about lines. The people that shop there are very diverse so it cools to witness that and be a part of that experience. It is a bit run down but I don't mind because its still functional and prices are low.

Pretty awesome spot!!…read more I can speak for the smoothie/juice bar which is an extension of the market area. Based off of first impression this spot is very clean. They have the fruits and veggies ready to go and all of them are bright and fresh. Nothing looked like it had been sitting out. The service was quick and friendly too. They also have free samples of hot apple juice. I tried the one with pomegranate and it was delicious. Literally the most perfect fall treat! What we had: - Yellow Power Smoothie: my husband got this and he says it was really good. It was perfectly balanced and he drank this one pretty quickly! - Build your own Juice: love that they have this option! So helpful when you don't exactly vibe with any of the ones on the menu. I chose one with carrot, orange, and watermelon. The juice was perfectly balanced! I tasted hints of all the components in every sip, not too much of any one ingredient. I would definitely make this my go to spot for juices and smoothies if I lived in the neighborhood. 100% recommend!

My review is focused solely on their juice bar (however we do buy our produce from here, too!). My…read morehusband and I LOVE that they have a 24-hour juice bar that serves fresh juices and fruits. They have about 14 different types available (7 juices and 7 smoothies), though you're also able to create your own. We love that they use FRESH everything in each of their recipes! You can literally watch them grab the fruits and veggies needed for your drink as they place them into the juicer/blender. It's very reassuring to see this as you can't always trust fresh ingredients are being used in other places that make smoothies. When ordering a smoothie, they'll ask what you want for the base. The options are Apple juice, coconut water, almond milk or water. We almost always choose coconut water as it's a great source of electrolytes AND tastes absolutely delicious with any of the smoothies using tropical fruits. They also have a delicious Apple cider tea! It's always out (hot and fresh), they have about 4 different varieties and they allow free samples. I love the clove and ginger flavor and my husband loves the ginger honey flavor. You can purchase this as an individual cup or as a half gallon or gallon option. I can't wait for autumn to hit as this tea is PERFECT for a chilly autumn day! And I plan to purchase in bulk to keep at home so I can indulge without having to walk so far every time I want it. Our new Sunday ritual is to buy our produce and then grab a juice/smoothie from here. We love coming here and I'm sure you will too!
