Alstede Fresh at Lindeken Farms — Local services in Jefferson Township

Prices have risen since Lindeken was purchased by Alstede but in this economy that is to be expected. What is not expected is what I would consider to be consumer fraud. They sell many of their apples for $1.99 per pound and also sell them in a small bag containing 1/4-peck for $10.99. While I would imagine this to be the better deal, typically if you buy in bulk the price goes down, these bags only hold between 3 and 4 pounds of produce which at $1.99 per pound cannot be more than $8. When I went back to straighten out what I believed to be an error, I was informed that it was not, this is what they charge for the 1/4-peck bag regardless of the weight. I asked about the price of the bag and then I put it on the scale and it showed that if I emptied the bag on the scale and bought them at the per pound price it would only be $7.38 an over charge of $3.61. Personally, I find this to be an unconscionable practice and very deceptive to the average consumer. Their produce is good, if overpriced (think $4.00 for a bottle of water) but I am appalled at their business practices. When I asked to speak to a manager about the pricing I was told, "I am the manager and I don't make the prices" so then who does and do they understand or is it simply a money grab for people who are...

I absolutely love Alstede Farms. This is my favorite place to shop. The manager Veliko has done an awesome job with the Wharton store. He truly cares about his customers and promoting healthier options for us. I have spoken to Veliko multiple times and love hearing all the wonderful things he has done and plans on doing with the store including all the vegan options. I highly recommend Alstede Farms. Everything is fresh. I love everything I buy from Alstede Farms but their corn on the cob and their homemade salad dressings are the best I ever had but seriously you won’t be disappointed on anything. Everything is amazing. They even have vegan options besides fruits and vegetables. Their vegan pies, vegan muffins, vegan spinach ravioli’s are out of this world amazing. An on top of all that all the employees that I have in countered were friendly, respectful, and very helpful. I don’t write many reviews but Alstede Farms definitely deserves a great view and 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Keep up the great work...

I’m done. I go to other farm markets in the area that grow their own produce and sell their own eggs. This place is sooooo expensive. $9 for your own eggs. Other farm markets are more like $6 for their own. Then when I got rung up, I was paying cash. $18.23 (for 3 items) I gave the kid a twenty and pulled out a quarter but the kid started the tally way too fast and I said I didn’t want all that change but it was too late and kept telling me it was ok (it was not)I realize this is a small annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless especially after the price gouging. I’ll drive the extra 10 minutes for a less expensive, more pleasant experience. Oh and their basil is entirely dried out. Just looked like...
