Pochuck Valley Farm Market & Deli — Restaurant in Vernon Township

So I am a local resident and when I first moved here I went to this place for my sandwiches. They were great! I then began to notice that they never wore gloves. (Pre COVID) So every time I went, I checked, and still no gloves. The lady would take my money, make change, then go back to making sandwiches (without washing or wearing gloves.) I completely stopped going for years. Present day: My neighbor ended up getting sandwiches there last week and they were delicious. I then said ok I’ll give them another chance. (I saw on their FB that they were all gloved up and wearing masks.) I proceed to order a sandwich... I walk in and bam to my surprise the same thing as always! The lady was in the back with NO gloves and NO mask! She comes out from the back, hands me my sandwich, (she can’t see the disappointment on my face over my mask) and then takes my money to make change. Knowing I am just going to throw the sandwich out at this point I wait to see if she goes back to put on gloves, maybe put on some hand sanitizer, or even wash her hands... NOPE!!!! Goes right back to preparing food!!! It’s such a shame! They are very nice and food is good... I will never ever go back there again and I will be living here for a long time. How does their brain not think of germs being in the food industry and especially now! Food is good but go at your own risk! I WONT...

Another man stated this very nicely Scott Soltis? Something like that, we fell in love with this place and were going there on a weekly basis, and knew they were open-minded about not being vaccinated or masking etc. My wife (thank God was vaccinated) got COVID weeks ago, and according to Trenton it was the day we were in here. We were also in the post office, but they are strict in there. There was a large group of people from Texas and normally we are in and out but this time the orders were way backed up. Consequently, we can't be sure Where she got Covid, but seems likely it was in here, so it would be hard to want to try them again. A shame but perhaps when the crises is over, we can risk going back but for now, can't do it. Gave them 4 stars, as the food is great, the pies wonderful and they are very pleasant etc, but worried...

One of the worst places to visit in entire tri-state area. 100s of visitors have experienced the rudeness of these old owners. I guess they must be going through a lot of difficulties. I suggest going to other farms, especially located on NY throughway area. Also, instead going to this farm, take your children to Heaven Hill Farms and have lots of fun. Plus, why pay $30 for apples.....go to Trader Joe's or Costco and buy Organic Apples....guaranteed safe as no chemicals or pesticides are used. All such farms will shut down in 5 to 10 years due to their poor services and attitude to other human beings. Many of these farmers have been exploiting illegal immigrants as well paying them peanuts for their hard work bringing shame...
