Thank you Marysol (of The Tan Loft) for recommending this place! It's in the plaza with the stand alone Dunkin Donuts. For a farmers market this place is HUGE! A no frills kind of place. I would say it's more like a small grocery store with a full service fish market, meat counter, dairy goods and fresh bread. They had all all kinds of fruits and veggies at good prices everything looked fresh and plentiful. About 3 isles of groceries with a pretty impressive Hispanic food section. The place was busy, checkout moved quickly with about 4 – 5 cashiers. I would have come here sooner – I pass by it all the time!
I've been shopping at Elmora Farmer's Market for weeks not, and I'm still rather thunderstruck by it. Quite simply, until now there has not been a market in walking distance of my apartment where I could get fresh meat, fresh fish, fresh vegetables along with canned goods, frozen goods (and the list goes on) in one place at reasonable prices. They even carry Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses (my favorite brand). Sure there's a Shop Rite and Pathmark nearby, but both their produce and meat sections lack a bit compared to this market, and that surprises me quite a bit!
Built in the spot that was once "Cost Cutters", this store is quite large, not quite supermarket size, but big enough that you won't necessarily miss going down aisle after aisle. It's also in the same strip mall as many other shops including Dollar General, Subways, Sarku, 7-11, Dunkin Donuts, a pharmacy and a nail salon. You can definitely get a LOT done in one visit to this market!
The shop does lose some points for not having the most extensive baked goods section (it's good, but Shop Rite has them beat) and now and then the cashiers seem a bit lost, but that's rare. I'm still a regular customer and really enjoy shopping here!
