I have been shopping at our local Orange Farmers Market (OFM) for years, as I love the quality products they sell.

Read moreI respect everyone’s good comments about this store but today when I saw its hidden face, I would never buy groceries there again. I usually buy a box of a certain of okra each week there and I use it for a week so I don’t need to go again. This time when I bought a box of okra from them and opened it the following day, it was all spoiled and moldy and I brought it to the store for return. The store cashier and manager refused to return the item and I told them I would write a review on you on google, they got so mad by hearing it that they treated me so badly that I couldn’t imagine, they even throw the box of the okra on the ground and used bad language. I had no option except calling the police. The police also told them that it’s...
