Garden Farmers Market — Attraction in Belleville

2024 update: At this point I have been going to this market for years. I absolutely love this place. As a matter of fact, I think that we are lucky to live by this farmers market. I always come here for fresh fruits and berries(organic berries for one dollar a box when in season), and vegetables(special thanks for jersey tomatoes), their bread is better than in local bakeries. I also like olives and oaxaca cheese that you can find in a refrigerator stand. I totally take it back about the staff being impolite. Everybody is friendly and professional. As for the flowers section, I guess they make a good use of the space they have. And I must say that, when weather allows, there is a beautful plants display set just ourside of the markets entrance. Sometimes they sell really pretty plants.

In conclusion, it's the absolute best place in the area to buy high quality and cheap fresh produce, as well as fresh bread.

Tight space with unfriendly staff, but hands down best prices on fresh produce and fresh bread. Flowers...

I shop here frequently for fresh produce. The prices are unreal but a lot of the produce offered doesn't have "eye appeal," so to speak, but that doesn't change the fact the produce itself is good. I often come here to buy a week's worth of produce and it's never cost me more than $20. If you are on a tight budget and you want to include fresh produce into your groceries then it is definitely worth it to come here.

My only negative experiences are usually the other people shopping who don't seem to think there are other people around. Rather than ask if you can move they will literally try to squeeze past you without apologizing.

Usually after a trip here I lay out my purchases on the counter and photograph them, and then I upload the photo to Facebook along with the total cost and my friends and family are floored by how much I get...

This is one farmers market that if I didn't almost accidentally stumble onto it, I would never have known that they even existed. Garden Farmers Market is located in the back to the side of Belleville Plaza, which is, to say the least, a disadvantageous position. Yet this proves to be a nicely popular place. The prices are quite favorably comparable to regular stores in the produce section, but do be prudent and deliberate in your shopping. The leafy vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage can be hit or miss, but many of the chilled ground vegetables like scallions, leeks, asparagus, and escarole can be quite good. The peppers are a bargain, as are the onions. Potatoes and tomatoes can be good too. The rolls section can produce great bargains as well. They also have a small flower...
