Paradise Produce Stand

Great produce, friendly service and decent prices. MUCH better than anything I found in the produce section of the local Whole Foods. Loved that it was so close to where we were staying.

Oh my gosh, this is the best place!
They have the nicest, friendliest people, the freshest, most delicious produce, and awesome music playing all the time! Shopping feels like a party! I even can’t help but dance most of the time. It’s so fun!
Also, good prices.

I love this location right next to Primal Cuts and Growler Phil’s! I feel like I’m at the Farmers Market! Great produce. Wish for more organic options.

No need to shlep to whole foods or to make a weekly event of going to farmers market. Amazingly delicious peaches, beets, purple potatoes. Scallions.

Nice family run produce stand. Awesome strawberries, good organic selection.

Recently moved to their new and much improved location on Galveston. (Next door to Primal Cuts.)
Decent enough options for a small stand given how limited it is for space. Decent ratio of organic to non. Good reminder that local doesn’t always mean better was had here the other day as rhubarb, from a local yard they said, was not ripe, limp and past prime while rhubarb at Whole Foods, not local, was ripe and in crisp prime condition. Beautiful spring green Walla Walla onions, hard to find, were available at Paradise Produce and delicious. They also had resh Oregon berries, the delicate gems were just on the cusp of being past edible given how fragile they are once picked. But at last Paradise had them when others didn’t.
With so many good produce alternatives in Bend, this isn’t one I think of often, but AOK for what it is.
Thumbs up for the fact that they are finally wheelchair accessible at front here, old location was step up. Small paved lot at back also has accessible parking.

Love this produce stand and the people who run it! Fresh, tasty and hopefully, will have more organic offerings in the future. Looking forward to it opening this spring in its new location. (Although, the old one was only about a block from my home.) ;o (

Love this little farm stand! So much so that I avoided the zoo at the Farmer’s Market all summer long and just went here instead. Great fresh produce selection-​decent amount of organic selections-​huge fan of the organic greens from Good Earth Farms! Location is convenient, staff are friendly, and they have quite reasonable prices– I can always fill my bag for around 20 dollars! And they do take cards– another perk! My only gripe is the tantalizing aroma of bratwurst courtesy of Red Napkin, who they share a parking lot with-​VERY hard to resist. Thanks for being a great addition to the neighborhood!

The produce is pretty nice, but the organic choices are limited (as of this review) to two small shelves in the back. If you want organic Oregon produce, the farmers’ market is still your best bet.
EDITED to add: As the reviewer above mentioned, «when available» the organic produce is more plentiful. I talked to the girls running the register and they confirmed that indeed, they try to get more organics in, but they are at the mercy of their suppliers and cannot guarantee consistent shipments. My three stars remain (there’s nothing wrong with a three star review!). I think it’s a great little operation and will continue to support it; I’ll just rely on other more reliable sources for my organic produce when Paradise is thin.
The people running the stand are friendly and helpful, they take credit cards, and their prices seem to be reasonable.
The Paradise Produce Stand is slated to relocate in 2013 to the vacant lot on Galveston next to Primal Cuts (where Spork is currently parked). I’m excited for it to be within an easier walking distance of my other Galveston food stops — Primal Cuts and baked!
However, it probably won’t become a regular habit unless they start stocking a lot more organic options.
