Polks Plus — Attraction in Pooler

I have enjoyed the produce and vegetable I’ve purchased here since moving to this area 4 yrs ago, even though they are overpriced!! Prices are not listed so you never know until you get to checkout. HOWEVER, last week I purchased frozen butterbeans and pink-eye peas. While cooking them I noticed leaf pices, hulls, and debris collecting at the top..I dipped them out, more arose. I called them and Denise answered the phone. I asked why this was happening. She said they don’t wash nor blanch any of their frozen veggies. They tasted aweful!! Call me old school, but I was raised in southern GA and we grew our own veggies. I was taught to freeze food they must be washed and blanched. It would have been helpful if they had told me or labeled them unwashed and I blanched!! The two produce stores I used before moving here were Curtis in Tifton and Farmer Briwn’s in Valdosta washed and blanched their veggies! I never knew any produce store that didn’t! Even Ole Times sells frozen veggies and they have been washed and blanched! I didn’t want to write this until I had to throw out my beans, and maybe this would prevent someone else cooking dirty untasted beans when company...

Amazing gem for Pooler & Effingham county. The freshest produce I've seen locally yes I'm including "WHOLE PAYCHECK" you know who I mean. This is REAL food not grocery store polished waxy vegetables they are from the farm fresh not shipped 1k miles from goodness only knows where. The owners are husband and wife not a mega corporation that's not able to really select the best the farmer has they have lifelong realtionships with their suppliers & it shows. But warning if you have to have uniform carrots or tasteless yet perfect in appearance peppers then go to Walmart. Secret shop of gourmet cooks yes there's a best time to shop but I'm not telling you go & you'll see . Oh did I mention the Amish butter or the fresh cheeses the best cherve I've had outside humboldt fog if you know what that is you're already in your car going to Polks! Beautiful seasonal flowers & boiled peanuts for the ride home! They just opened a little Christmas gift shop so holidays are covered at Polks ...best veggies in the...

Not great for stroller/wheelchair access - even though I called ahead of time and asked. But hey, I figured… let’s make the best and ask them to please grab my 3 items for me if possible. ( support a local business) … only the lady who help me almost seemed disappointed and disgusted that the people at register asked her to help me. She was very short with me, rude , and rolled her eyes when coming out the door to see I was on the other side of the wall walking towards her. So I asked “ are you okay?” She replied with “yeah- just looking for you.”

I simply replied with “ have a blessed day “ and headed to another store.

Maybe she was having a bad day? Maybe she does not care for the shade of my skin? I’m not sure but either way customer service is everything. Needless to say, sadly , I will not be back and will not recommend. Even if I am traveling alone...
