Reviews of Farmers International Foods (Fruit Store)

Reese Reese

The employees are not very friendly or helpful. Some, not too knowledgeable about finding products in the store. But, it's the closest market to get my exotic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, mushrooms & seasonings for my cooking needs.

Domonick Griffin

10/10 would go again. They have ube!

Gari Riddick

They have everything I need for exotic dishes and recipes

Christi Rhodes

My son and I love this grocery store. The prices are great. If you love to cook authentic dishes from around the world, this store has your ingredients. The produce section is awesome with hard to find exotic fruits and veggies next to all the regulars too.

Karen Vergara-Vaughn

Although I don't care for the smell in there, it does have all the ingredients you need to make any international dish. They have a variety of snacks from most cultures in there so if you are missing that snack from somewhere. Try that place.

carol taylor

Very expensive for every day things like cereal or milk. If you are looking for vegetable spring rolls this is your place. Or anything special like nori or sushi rice. Lots of options here where as Walmart would have only one or two options.

Red Veranga

Always have everything that I need. Still waiting for my Japanese hard candies.

Linda DKJac

Great place for freshness

Jeff Williams

They have everything you need

Brusque

Thalk about fresh veggies a variety of meats and a tone of different whole fish. You can get all kinds of spices from Spanish to Asian and middle eastern. This place has always shoppers which to me means always fresh in coming produce reasonably priced. And the fact that they have whole sheep head and pig heads makes it even better.

Renee Belmont

The fresh seafood is amazing!!!

Gilbert Garcia

Very interesting place. Lots of items from Pacific Ocean Countries. All kinds of sea foods, various kinds of meats, drinks, vegetables, etc. Plenty of parking and is handicap accessible.

Tariq Niazi

Alot of variety of fruits and vegetables but becareful in selecting as all their produce is not fresh. The while store stinks of seafood. But overall good place for shopping.

Debbie Wright

Definitely returning. The produce selection is large. So many isles to explore. Found all the curry selections I ever wanted. So happy

Kendra Toni

Clean, reasonably priced goods. Helpful staff. Found all I went looking for. Really an international market

Marilu Horning

They have a good selection of produce and international food. As well as, sea food. The merchandising is bad. Their feature items look like they have just been piled up. Their produce section is the best. THEY HAVE MACHETES FOR SALE, ON A RACK THAT IS TOUCHING THE FLOOR. COMPLETELY REACHABLE TO KIDS!!!

Cameron Strickland

Ramen central! Great price on produce.

Brenda Brown-Corprew

Very high prices , couldn't find egg roll wrapper's I was looking.

maria garcia

I have all the things I need from this place. My only comment is that there are so many things in the aisles that makes maneuvering of the cart difficult.

Elizabeth Gulley

Good place to get specialty items American supermarkets wouldn't have. With a large section in-store for both fresh and frozen seafood, there's always something new try with each visit.

Felicia Riddick

Great price on seafood.

Brandy Posada

This is the spot for fresh produce and fresh meats! The prices can’t be beat. For those who say the produce is bad, depends on the day and time of day you go. Workers are always re-stocking. Definitely seen way worse at Walmart and Kroger. I got all my vegetables and some steak and ground beef for under $20... what?! For some dry goods, just check the dates. If something is expired, let an associate know. Love the feel of this market and the variety it offers.

Lind Canino

Lots of choice in meats , fish , shrimp, vegetables fresh. Plenty of other things. Fair prices.

Ashley

Had anything you could possibly think of and items you’ve never even heard off! You just have to be prepared for the smell, as the sell fresh seafood and the display is not the best.

diana murillo

excellent I always get what I'm looking for ... thank you!

Diego A. Matom

Produce, meat & seafood all fresh and more varieties,

Iva Nenova

I am glad to have found this store... with lots of interesting international foods... and the prices of some things are 2 or 3 times cheaper than other places, for example an aloe vera leaf is under a dollar here, but $3 at Whole Foods! Wow!

Ronald Thompson

There store has an odor that hits you as you walk in. The staff is not knowledgeable or friendly. Peaches were on sale for .99 lbs But there was no way to tell if they were free stone or not. I asked an associate. He did not know. He said I would have to buy one to find out. I asked to speak the manager he said the manager was not in the store at the time. I went to the front to ask for help. The associate at the counter told me to ask the manager. I told her the guy said the manager was was out. She went over to the same guy I spoke to. He was the manager! This store has no idea of customer service. I am suspicious of their attitude toward people of diverse backgrounds. I rated them 3 stars because I didn't want the whole store to suffer for the poor service by a few. However I will be trying the E Market down the road again. It smelled a lot fresher.

Walt Caudle

Exotic foods and regular staples from around the world. This is our go to place for all Indian, Chinese and Philippine pantry items.

mohammed alsuliman

Did not like it much. I prefer grand mart instead.

Joan Thomas

Fantastic service

L Curry

Bigger than average international market. Catering mostly to Asian tastes this market has so much to offer! While there is a large offering of typically Pacific rim produce, meats, seafood, and staples there are also many European and Middle Eastern offerings. Fresh live fish prepared for you to take home and cook. There is something for everyone here.

mary sue

Large variety of Asian and Caribbean foods and spices. Wonderful seafood dept. Reasonable prices. Ample parking.

Mercedes-Angel Binns

Amazing fish

GT Ashby-Phan

Awesome fresh produce and every imaginable Asian spice! My go to grocery store.

Jayson Young

I love going to this place. If you like asian culture (anime and manga) you can find some awesome food here you might have seen in a show. Lots of ramen, pokey, rice crackers, just a ton of good food and the prices are really reasonable. They also have Boba here for all you tea lovers.

Cordia Stinebaugh

Fresh seafood

Deb luvelders

First time to store as I was looking for Indian spices and beans to try cooking. Found many things. I needed certain veggies which I did not find. Place had a very foul odor that hits you as soon as you enter. Not sure why. Rotting veggies or seafoods?? Place needs to be cleaned up and better organized. Also need someone who speaks English that can help you find what your looking for would help a lot. Prices seemed good. Lots of veggies I’ve never seen.

Neno Nenov

It is one of those stinky places with dirty cheap food and great deals. Some.products are imported with no description in English and I am afraid to even try, but overall it is well stocked with many traditional and exotic food options. Especially rich is their seafood aisle with many varieties of fish that they will dress anyway you want it.

Courtney Von Stein

Love this place!

Christopher Freeman

Open right before Christmas and had amazing quality of produce

Edwin Jimenez

Find everything here with the help of their friendliest staff, Maria.

Michael Nguyen

Clean store, good prices for meat, fresh veggies but little pricey. Fish is fresh, some cheap. Many ethnic food such as Vietnamese, Korean , Philippines, Chinese etc. Different fruits from countries.

Manuel Vasquez

Big fish market, and Oriental foods some Latino stuff mostly frozen or canned.

Patricia Davis

Great experience...lots of produce

Steph

I usually go here to buy my produce since it’s usually a lot cheaper than any other grocery store around. The meat is usually a decent price as well. The store is definitely not fancy but they have a wide variety of international foods that you can’t find anywhere else.

Christopher Pine

If I had to pick a single grocery store to buy from from the rest of my life it would be Farmers. They have everything. Asian, Eastern European, Mexican. It's awesome

Patricia Stevenson

Didn't like that smell and that store smells like fish

Michael Page

Sea food heaven,anything you can dream of is there.

Shihching Kraft

Great Korean grocery store with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Anthony Smith

I love it it has everything you need if you ever lived overseas this place won't disappoint you especially if you been to the Philippines or Singapore or Hong Kong

Lourdes Taisague-Pereda

Very expensive. People in the seafood department, those guys are very RUDE! Customer service sucks there. Cashiers there talk to each other in their foreign language and does not greet you at all.

Wesley

Meh... Just another Asian market. Nothing wrong with that. The aisles are pretty cramped, but you get by with ease.

Mary Ciallella

The Farmrrs market is great place to take your child to visit and walk around on a cleat day, instead of being cooped up inside

Jimmy Priddy

A good place to find hard to get vegetables and foods. A friendly atmosphere.

Jason Neves

Wide variety of mostly asian (a mix of some other nationalities as well) groceries and food items. Fresh fish market and large variety of fresh produce.

Ted Ulrich

So I’m your average white guy that likes to cook with exotic inspirations, and I’ve poured over the library’s selection of world cookbooks. In my opinion this is the best international market in the area. It’s far cleaner and better stocked than a lot of the similar stores I’ve visited here. The meat, produce, and seafood selection is excellent and there are TONS of foreign items you simply can’t find in regular chain grocery stores. Need tamarind for that Indian dish? Check. Looking for authentic Latin American spices for your fajitas? Check. Need a selection of soy sauces that go beyond regular and low sodium Kikkoman? Check. Want to find fresh peppers so hot that your doctor and plumber start planning vacations? This is your place. There’s also a decent selection of foreign alcohol for those that look beyond Corona and Heineken for their imports (Singha beer, and far less expensive than Total Wine!). The centre of the store has cookware and household goods that cater to international lifestyles, as well as tons of snack items you might have missed if you were in the armed forces and stationed abroad for any length of time. These little novelties are always cool to pack in my kid’s lunch or send for school parties as it’s always a conversation starter. Prices are decent for a small store, unless I’m buying bulk or restocking the pantry I’m usually in and out for under a $20. If you’re an immigrant you can probably navigate the store like a seasoned expert (no pun intended). We sheltered, monolingual Americans however should be prepared to spend some time there and do the necessary research. Google Translate is your friend when deciphering packaging and ingredients. Remember that many of the staff may only have an elementary grasp of English, so they might be reluctant to help you for fear of hitting a language barrier. In short, this place is not to be missed if you’re looking for a place for hard to find foods, or are just looking to get away from the bustle of big chain markets and into a smaller, more intimate grocery experience.

Racheal Carl

Great variety of foods. I always find something new and interesting here.

Kikz B

Mikki Mac

It was very interesting...felt like I was on a school field trip, so many great things to see and try. Definitely going back!

Carlos _

Wide variety of foods offered, from spanish, asian. Also all kinds of vegetables available. A NYC like food market. The place also has live fish for sale and other rare fish, some fresh from the ocean. Others from a local farms. Market needs better advertising as it is missed from the road.

They have all types of ingredients I use. It's one of the biggest Asian markets I've been to and there's a lot of variety with mirin, soy sauce, ect

Victor DeSantiago

I've always had a great time shopping here! (I've seen stuff for sale here, that I've never seen in my life... AWESOME!!!) But I'm a very independent type of shopper. I don't bother employees with questions, unless I can't find something, (that rarely happens) or I'm in a hurry. Cashiers have always been friendly to me. (It might be 'cause I'm a friendly guy, most of the time!)

Lawrence Pitts

Great seafood

Ed Robles

Great place to get hard to find international food products, especially for latin and asian dishes.

Marie S
