Staff is friendly and always seem to be working to clean and stock the shelves. They have a great bakery staff as well. I appreciate how well this store is run and take it for granted, until I visit a different chain.... LOL I recommend this Hannaford.

It's well lit and it's not cluttered. I was very impressed by the vast selections, in all their departments. I loved the spice selection....the meat case was spotless clean and all the meat looked fresh. It may be a bit more expensive, but I'll put cleanliness, before price, any day. I told the two clerks I could have stopped at the grocery store in Winslow, on my way home to Vassalboro, but didn't, because this Fairfield Market is neat, clean, and that's a reflection of people ,who care about their store. Thanks for the enjoyable experience.

If you need British food, this is a good place to start. Anything from Sticky Toffee Pudding to…read moreAero chocolate bars, you'll find them. I walked out with Heinz tomato soup and Batchelor beans--a favorite of mine. The main draw is the meat. It is a full service butcher shop, with a specialty of sausage. An entire case is devoted to them I got apple maple sausage, some shaved beef and some beautiful chicken. If you need dog food, they even have a freezer full of freshly house made meat for your canine friends. The staff is really friendly and super helpful. I use a cane and they have steps that are rather steep. A fellow showed me a side door that had no steps and promised me that it would be open for me whenever I came back. That won me over right then and there. Way to go Waterville!

The selection of English foodstuffs was good, although a little sparse. They said they were getting a restock that very day, so I will definitely be back.

I adore this place! It's always clean, well stocked and has many of the more obscure items I buy…read moresuch as soy curls and tofutti which I don't see anywhere but here anymore. The produce department is my favorite. Their lettuce and kale bunches are large, local and priced fairly. A great store for vegans/vegetarians! It is a little tight in there as it's not a large store but it is concentrated and laid out well. The staff is usually always friendly but as with any place, there are occasional exceptions. I'd recommend not shopping in the late afternoon as the traffic in that area gets pretty congested.

This is a great market! The amount of local goods they sell is really impressive! From meats, to…read morebaked goods, to soaps to, textiles...very impressive We bought mostly food items while we were here. I LOVED the baked goods by the Good Bread company from Maine. Wow, those cookies, were YUM!!! The bread was equally as delicious. We bought some packaged, snacks from the nuts/snacks aisle and unfortunately, that wasn't very good. Tasted stale/odd and we just threw it away. It won't deter us from going back there. If it's busy, which is always seems to be, be careful, while the parking lot seems big enough for people and cars, I saw very close calls with cars to cars and cars to People! Yikes. Not sure what the malfunction is, but it seems people were not going slow and paying attention. I do recommend trying this location - at least to see what they have to offer, you might like it! I definitely will be back just for the baked good section alone. I'm coming for you Molasses Cookies!

They also have pizza dough if you want to make your own, and they have various sandwiches and pizzas available. They are open long hours, which is nice if you want something at an odd time. We got the pepperoni stuffed breadsticks which were really great! (the only down side is it took them 30 minutes to make them, but it was near closing so maybe that's why). We had a ton of different desserts (blueberry pie, cookies, brownies, whoopie pies, etc), which were all good and really tasted homemade. They also have a few basic grocery supplies for sale in the coolers. If I lived on this block, I'd be in this place every day. We were there later in the evening but got a parking spot right in front. The neighborhood doesn't look to be the greatest but we had no problems.

If you enjoy saving money, it's well worth the trip! As for food past the expiration date, I teach…read moremy students four rules. The general guideline is you can eat most canned foods from 1 to 5 years after the expiration date if stored in a cool, dark place and the cans are in good condition. However, don't let the year on the calendar make the decision for you. Follow these four basic rules before you devour that can of ravioli, soup, or vegetables that expired several years ago. 1. Inspect the can. If the can is damaged, rusted, or dented at the top or bottom lid it increases the risk of the food being contaminated. If the can is bulging or leaking fluid, throw it away immediately. With food items like olives, pickles, relishes or preserved fruit, observe the quality of the oil, syrup or brine. There may be a problem if the liquid appears muddy or opaque or if the liquid level has dropped significantly. 2. Open the can. If everything is so far, so good, go ahead and open the canned food. If while opening, it makes a hissing sound and/or liquid spurts out of the can, discard it. On visual inspection, the first thing to note is the color of the food. Minor color change over time is normal, but a big alteration in color or a lack of color signals a problem. If you see any mold, throw the contents in the trash. 3. Smell the food. If the above steps go well, give the food a good sniff. There is no better judge as to whether food is rotten than the sniffer test! It should smell fresh without an unusual or unpleasant odor of any kind. 4. Taste it. Lastly, you can give the food a taste. Keep in mind that long-term storage can affect the flavor of some foods, particularly if it was sweetened. With the money you save by not tossing out canned goods when they reach their expiration date, you can hopefully be better able to afford the rising gas and heating oil prices!
