Rock Farmers Market — Attraction in Glen Rock

Avoided for so long because I somehow thought it would be more expensive than The Shoprite in town. I was so wrong. I do make a habbit out of comparison shopping everywhere I spend money, and almost across the board, this place beats the competition. 99 cent Avocados, $1.50 heads of Cauliflower, Limes 6 for a dollar, the price per pound on most anything else, is almost exclusively less than $1.99 /pound which you will be hard pressed to say that about most traditional supermarkets. There have been a few claims here by others that this produce is not organic.... while I can't get a definitive answer for all items, anything that has a label on it, or it's packaging stating the farm it where it came from usually has a website.... the ones I have looked up make claims of organic practices on their websites and I have little reason to contest it. A definitive answer for all the produce would be nice, but if you're at all familiar with growing a single thing in a garden even once in your life, it's kind of easy to look at the quality here and compare it to something Monsanto pushes... and easily spot the organic version. That's just my opinion because I suppose I am eerily observant but go here, look for yourselves. It's friendly, affordable, almost everything is in stock at all times... the parking is easy, checking out is easy, I've never seen a crowd here as crazy as the Shoprite on River road... which makes the experience much more appealing than fighting my way between 4 other carts to get the last sweet potato. I only wish I started buying from them sooner, the amount we save by buying from this place, is almost surreal... the other reviews about keeping your eyes open for the bad stuff on the shelves is true, but hey, it is a fast paced environment for the staff, if it's out with the rest of the other stuff, and has gone rotten, they are on it, it's cleaned up, removed and shelves refilled with fresh stock. They also have a small floral area, dairy section, breads, some packaged goods, spices, some meats, sauces, and more... all with very clearly placed, and written out pricing so there's no checking the barcodes and UPCs to make sure you know costs... very bold, large, hand written signs, directly where the respective product is placed. I honestly can't think of one negative thing to say... I love their concept, the execution, the money it saves my family, and the delicious meals we get to enjoy more often because of it's existence. Go check it out one day, I doubt...

I was just shopping and the cart fell on my shin because they didnt clean up the floor and no slip sign. Must have been someone dropped strawberries or berries in the store right front on the right side by the strawberries. So painful I can barely stand. I asked for the owners name and to speak with the owner and asked for incident report to be taken down but they pretended they didnt understand. Victor the sweeping guy who is supposedly the store manager came to clean up quickly and Beatrice cashier pretended they didnt understand. I took photos of all however.

A lot of elderly people shop at this store and this could have ended very bad for someone.

My right foot i am icing but I could barely limp out of the store. The drive home was insanely painful as i couldnt control the padel of the car.My son was in the metal cart that tilted on my right leg shin. Thankfully I was able to preserve him from falling. Then I had to get my daughter. Excruciating pain by then 15 mins later.

I somehow made it home and my kid helped me..on pain killers now. For starters I cant even stand tonight to make dinner.

I cant believe I couldn't find someone who spoke English there to make an incident report or contact the store owner.

Be Careful shopping in this place! Prices are good but not worth the pain of limping and and being out of commission now Gd knows...

Very rare as I post negative review and took me awhile to decide. I’ve stopped going to this store after seeing once how bread is delivered to store without packaging in dirty plastic containers and workers broom dirty floors when store opens & very few customers in. Seeing dust flying all over vegetables made me feel sick. I was thinking how this store ever passed health inspection? Never mind all vegetables & fruits are on shelves not refrigerated & often rotten, sa cabbage with black brown spots f.e. As my degree in economics specialized in trade I know there are rules & regulations how to store & preserve products and shelves need to be periodically audited by store staff to assure that only fresh products are presented to customers to rule out spread out of virus & deceases. My hubby wanted to give this store another chance. And I could not hold anymore after seeing rotten egg plants brought in from thus store. I took pic this time & I’ll make sure to let anyone I know - family and friends and my prof network - to stay away...
