Rahway Farm

I enjoy this market and go quite regularly. Always find what I’m looking for and I love that the employees will stops and help me find anything I need.
The owners aren’t the friendliest but it isn’t enough to put me off.

This market is clean and the produce is fresh. They do not sell fish or meat products, but have A great selection of nuts, fruits, and vegetables. They even have milk, cheese, eggs, breads and more.

Perfect little market to get all the essential fruits and veggies year round! Highly recommend :)

This year round farmers’ market has become my go to for produce as well as other specialty items. Fresh fresh fresh with great prices, helpful staff, and broad selection wins me over.
I believe there is actually a chain or coalition of markets similar to this one throughout Jersey. It is The Garden State after all! Produced is locally sourced when possible, but there are imported items as well (obviously we’re not growing strawberries in Feb.!) so if that matters to you read your labels. The selection includes staples of fruits and veggies as well as more ethnic ones. Chaote, prickly pear, Asian pears, various squash make appearances.
There are a selection of pre-​cut fruits off to the far right when you enter, but most everything else comes au natural. Buy your herbs here… You can get bunches of parsley, cilantro or basil for $ 0.99 instead of
$ 3.50 for a few leaves or sprigs.
Go to the back wall to find home made bulk tofu (firm and delicious) that you bag yourself. There’s also a selection of cured salamis and sausages, cheeses, milk and eggs. I love looking through the random teas, foreign candies and spices that appear. There are also bins of Portuguese rolls delivered fresh, barrels of loose nuts in shell, and packaged dried fruit/​nut/​trail mix assortments.
You can do most all your food shopping here except for meats. Totally worth the separate stops.

On a couple occasions this year, I have noticed cheese/​dairy products that have molded or gone bad and are still on the shelves. The other produce seems fresh and well-​priced.

Little grocery/​market store that I’ve been to a few times. Sell everything from fruit to produce, milk, canned and dry goods, and rolls/​breads. You can get some great deals if you look. bought 2 containers of strawberries for $ 5, but you really have to look at the packages to find the best fruit with the least amount of bruising. But I also bought golden delicious apples that they had for $.99 per pound. Not only were the apples huge, but crisp and oh so sweet.
Definitely worth checking out.

My neighborhood comic shop Classic Comics is located in the same strip mall that Rahway Farm is located in, so I’ve been a frequent visitor for years. The store is an eclectic mix of fresh produce, canned goods, cheeses, spices, baked goods, sweets and more. Despite this variety, they specialize in produce and it’s always been fresh. I’ve never gotten anything near spoiled or dry here. Their prices are reasonable as well and I enjoy their variety. I mean, not all markets have several types of apples, oranges and grapefruits all in one place.
The staff is always helpful. I’ve had guys who were in the middle of stocking shelves stop what they were doing just to help me get some items I couldn’t find. The cashiers really range in personality. Some are totally sweet and friendly while others can be downright surly (they lose a star for that).
On another note I also pick up some «sesame crunch» candy here now and then and I consider it the best tasting candy of its type (and I’ve sampled it from many stores in my time).
I enjoy coming to this store and will definitely continue to be a regular in the future.
