Prices can be a little higher than say Aldi, but they also offer a lot more selection. This is where I come when I want anything that's outside the normal American diet (although they have that too), they have tons of fresh produce and other food from seemingly every corner of the world.

I was there with my mom helping her get groceries on senior discount day and of her 154 dollar bill, only 30 dollars received the discount. We asked why, because the other location took it off the whole bill. Well she proceeded to be rude and basically explain nothing other than negative things in a derogatory way that we were wrong. Then they talked in Spanish like we didn't know what they were saying. Never going there again. Please send her back to customer service training. No one should ever speak like that to customers.

The variety of flavors of pretty much everything from cereals to chips, and don't even get me started on the gigantic cheese selection. I could happily get lost in this store for hours and be just fine. Lastly, them being open 24 hours is incredible!

Hidden inside in a corner is a live bee hive that lets you watch those busy bees while sipping on that slushie, which happens to be a favorite pastime of mine. Outside activities include apple slingshot, hay rides, hay bales to climb on and of course, apple picking. There are family fun activities for all.

It will leave you craving more and returning for more, always. In addition to all the fresh produce (which varies based on season) they also sell different flavored donuts like apple cider donuts, available in lemon and strawberry flavors, apple cider slushies, muffins, etc. Their store is cute and sells some fun food related items, cute gifts, and farm inspired decor as well. I love the outdoor area where you can sit at a bench and enjoy your treat while watching the animals they have or play some bags. Service is friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

Very reasonable prices, whole natural foods; it is a short drive and we always leave happy!!

The 320 store IS a convenience store. The Staff is helpful Yes, that is true. However, chefs from restaurants DO NOT USE this store for very good reasons - the produce is not ripe or is overly ripe. The canned goods/frozen goods are scattered and look like purchased from other stores and resold here as they keep changing. This store is more like what you would find in a gas station. The meats are okay - not a great selection. Like I said in the beginning- this is a good place to just grab something when can't go to other stores and just really makes the neighborhood not a food desert.

Fun outing for a warm Friday night! The venue offers music, drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic),…read morefood trucks and food stalls selling BBQ, roasted corn, candied nuts, tacos, wood fired pizza, crepes, Thai food, churros, ice cream, coffee, burgers, bao and more! Something for everyone. On top of all that there are stalls from local farmers and sellers of flowers, honey, jewelry, baked goods, clothing, and plenty of other goodies, as well as local businesses and groups with games and information about their services. It's not a huge venue so on packed days parking may take you a few blocks away but it is a nice walk. Also sometimes seating can be tricky to find if you need to sit to eat, so if you do and you see a spot, don't let it pass you by! There is even a water feature the kiddos play in which was pretty cute to watch. Overall a fun way to spend a few hours on Fridays, getting a wide variety of food and drinks and listening to local musicians. Definitely worth a stop if you happen to be in the area on a Friday night in the warmer months.

There are people selling homemade crafts, produce, meats and cheeses, beer (yes, beer! Carlyle's brewing company has a table there and some local distributor as well), food and entertainment! From what I gathered, the booths change through out the season; some are only there for certain days while others for the entire show. That can be good or bad. If you find a place you like they may not be there the next week, but there may be something you like more! Plus the entertainment changes every week. This week while there we bought beer, a necklace and earrings for my wife, candied nuts, beer, peaches, pet odor eliminate candles, beer, sweet corn, Bleu cheese, a 5 gallon bucket, beer (not a 5 gallon bucket of beer!) some food and just had a good time. We even were able to take our son over to the permanent cooling off fountain the city has where he and the other kids can play in it while the parents watched. It was a good time. We killed 2 hours here just hanging out. Parking is a little difficult. There is a lot of public parking, but it was full by the time we arrived and ended up having to park in the public lot over by the Metro Center. This isn't a bad walk, nice scenic view crossing the State Street bridge over the mighty Rock River. If you go, bring cash. Some places might take cards or checks, but it seemed mostly to be a cash only arrangement.
