Normans' Farm Market- Mass Ave Stand — Local services in Somerset

This is a ready beautiful Farm market. Please note that you may need to visit Whole Foods if you need Organic products. However, if you need organic food, please read the entire review below.

It's always healthy to eat vegetables and fruits whether it's organic or not. Let me explain why this is so.

Well, several studies found that organic food contains more antioxidants. Antioxidants are believed to have some health benefits. However, scientists are still on the fence about them in general.

There are also different opinions regarding organic being more nutritious. Evidence is mixed. You can not say that organic has better health benefits.

There are also studies that organic food contains fewer pesticides. This is more complicated because sometimes fewer pesticides do not mean better. Most organic pesticides are natural toxins like hot ash soap or sulfur. Toxic is toxic and does not matter whether it's coming from nature or not. Even more, organic copper sulfate is more dangerous which is used for apples.

Well, it's up to you to decide where to buy fruits. Vegetables and fruits are always healthy.

The only downside of this farmer's market is that it's a little bit expensive like Whole Foods. Sometimes I visit ALDI or Lotte Plaza where fruit and vegetables are two times cheaper.

I am disappointed, however, that we can only buy things by the carton. I don't like buying tomatoes I can't look at or onions of a size I don't want. I know this is due to covid-19, to discourage customers from touching produce they're not going to buy but it seems disingenuous. I fail to see what good this does when other measures have not been taken. There are no plastic guards between clerks and customers. The space has not been enlarged to allow customers more room in the aisle. Distancing while shopping is not mandatory or enforced. I understand that the staff is mostly young and would feel uncomfortable asking an older person to move back, etc. This is all the more reason for the company to step in. In the absence of other methods, I fail to see how forcing people to buy things in cartons is all that useful. I suspect it is more for the convenience...
