Carpinito Brothers

This place should have been a 5-star review. It’s a massive store, packed with everything you could possibly need, and the prices are very reasonable. But today’s experience was extremely disappointing due to the poor attitude of the staff. Specifically, two employees near the checkout area who were supposed to help customers with paperwork. I walked around the store twice looking for a part I needed and couldn’t find it, so I approached them for help. One of the girls completely ignored me — didn’t respond, didn’t say a word, didn’t even acknowledge my presence. She just stared blankly like a zombie. The guy with glasses gave me a half-hearted reply: “If it’s in that corner, it’s there. If not, then it’s not.” That’s it. No effort, no customer service. Frustrated, I went back and searched again — and I finally found the item, all the way at the bottom of the shelf. Yes, the product itself was great. I bought 7 of them and spent over $300. I’m satisfied with what I purchased, but I won’t be coming back. I’d rather shop at Five Star （Kent East Hill Nursery）👍👍👍where customers are treated with respect. For someone who spends thousands of dollars a year on gardening and supplies, this was a huge letdown.

It’s a massive store, packed with everything you could possibly need, and the prices are very reasonable. We usually get our soils from here as there will be someone helping to load it into your car. So you'll just have to purchase at the counter and drive to the front. Bought our tomatoes starters, a peony tree and a variety of flowers from Carpanito this year! Never failed to always grab a pack of their popcorn on our way to the counter! My nieces love them!

We love Carpinitos year round but especially at Christmas time. They have the best selection of trees,flocked trees and poinsettias! Plus their amazing produce and honey. Get the satsumas,they're delicious! They also have some sweet animal friends every year. We met Toby,Loki and Thor. Don't forget to grab some free hot apple cider and write a letter to Santa while you're there!

This farm stand is always an amazing place each Christmas. They have a huge assortment of cut trees and flocked ones too. There are wreathes, poinsettia so healthy and full. Not to miss are their farm animals. There’s a Cesar a live camel and an assortment of lambs, goats, calves and I think a ram (I’m not sure what he was lol). There’s free hot apple cider, you can watch them make candied popcorn which for $8.50 a bag is worth every penny. Great gifts! They have a cute barn full of Christmas lights for photo ops. Not to mention all the amazing produce either they grow or from WA. The service when getting a tree is top notch. They trim it, load it and tie it down well. Parking is easiest on the left side of the building. I love coming here, it’s always filled with happy employees, awesome service and quality time with the kids. Go support this small business.

As a farmer, I really appreciate the quality and variety at Carpinito Brothers in Kent. Their produce is always fresh, and I can tell it’s locally grown with care. The selection of plants and garden supplies is top-notch too, perfect for anyone looking to start or maintain a garden. Their staff is knowledgeable and always willing to help with advice. It's clear they take pride in what they offer. Highly recommend for anyone serious about farming or gardening!

Great store, but the real stand out was how kind the loader was today. I didn't catch his name, but he was quick, friendly, and could drive a CAT effortlessly. 10/10, would get bark here again.

Beautifully beautiful!! I love the variety of flowers and herbs and plants indoor and outdoor and their prices are very reasonable considering the type. My picks were a mixture of herbs and flowers, the sunflowers were the cutest find 🥹🌻 I got mint, basil, oregano, lemongrass. The place just gives off freshness and vibes full of life!!

I’ve been a regular customer at Carponito Brothers for my plants and groceries. However, during my last visit, I noticed something peculiar. Instead of charging me for the potato I had purchased, the cashier lady mistakenly charged me for cherries! To make matters worse, cherries are five times the price of a potato. I didn’t even buy cherries because I’m allergic to them! I strongly advise you to double-check the recipe before making a purchase.

Just a pleasant surprise. Everything here is fresh and cheap. There doesn't seem to be the usual its Seattle so we should hike up the prices. There are a lot of interesting produce here and they are very seasonal so come often! I usually only do restaurant reviews but this place deserves a five star from me.

I buy a truck full of molch at this time of year. The various kinds of pumpkins lined up at this time of year are fun just to look at. I bought a butternut squash, spaghetti squash, bundles of beets, apples, red leaf, colorful and fresh peppers, purple tomatoes...etc. Compared to regular supermarkets, it is fresher and the apples are crispy and juicy, squash is a super bargain for $2 or $4, the splendid colorful peppers cost $2 for 6, especially beets, I bought beets with leaves on them. The cash register is crowded on weekends, but the smooth service. I recommend you come on weekday morning. Also, Carpinito Bros Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze in Kent, too. 27508 W Valley Hwy N, Kent, WA 98032. Thank you for Carpinito Bros services!!! I love everything here.

I love this place but what is really lame is that week I came and bought 12 yards of compost and another 8 yards of soil and every time I came in to get 4 yards, I'd have to park my truck, walk inside, stand in line, and then pay. It added almost 20 minutes to my trip that day to pick up material. After 5 trips, this amounted to over an 1 1/2 hours sitting in line just to pay for material that day. I love the employees here, they're the best part of this business. But they way this business operates is terribly inefficient for their customers. Come on management figure out a better solution here. This process is broken and needs fixing. How come the guy in the loader can't carry a card scanner and process the transactions out in the yard. Your teams process for this is the same one you've been using for ever and it sucks. Step your game up and start venturing into the business of customer service and experience.

We have come here to get our Christmas tree the last two years as well as visit their pumpkin patch. The trees are always amazing with so many to choose from. They always offer a fresh cut on the tree and load it on your car while you pay. Service is above and beyond and so friendly. Their produce is also amazing and with great prices.

So much to choose from. Great quality and friendly service. I love it here! Highly recommend.

We went to get pumpkins & had a great day!! We got great looking pumpkins, gourds & had lunch too!!

If you live in the south sound, run don't walk to this produce stand. It really isnt' a stand in the truest sense of the word but is amazing. Not only do they have a wonderful selection of veggies, less fruit, but it's so much fresher and less expensive than the super market. They also have plants for sale, hanging baskets and veggie plants. The produce is sold June through December and if you go to their web site you can find a spread sheet of what produce they have and when. In the summer growing season they have local produce and produce from the other side of the mountains. If I sound like I'm gushing, I am, what a find for the veggie lover

Year after year, this spot continues to be our go-to place for Christmas trees. Carpinito Bros has been putting in effort to make this a family holiday destination, especially these past few years. They've added a few photo areas, some live animals (not a petting zoo, but they have goats and a camel or two), and offer free warm apple cider. Parking seems to be limited to about 15 cars at most, so perhaps that's why there isn't more effort to keep customers around longer than ~30 minutes. This location is where they store their bulk topsoil and gravel, which has a bit of a barnyard odor and isn't necessarily the most pleasant surrounding landscape when picturing a Christmas tree lot destination. However, you quickly forget about it when you start walking through the aisles of fresh-cut trees, organized by type and height. The process for purchasing a tree is similar to most tree lots. You walk around, pick out your perfect tree, find someone who works there, and make sure someone in your group stands guard next to the tree while you wait for the lot-worker to return (gotta make sure no one else gets ideas about your prize tree!!! Haha!). The worker will come, get the tree, ask where you want it cut, then give you the price tag to go inside to pay for the tree. Once you pay and show the worker your receipt, they'll load the tree onto your car for you. Over the years, we've had varying levels of helpful workers--some go above and beyond, while others seem all business or in a rush--but in both cases, they do the job well. While inside the shop paying for the tree, I love picking up some decor for inside the house and shopping for fresh veggies. They sell fresh wreaths and table arrangements and have a whole room full of just poinsettias! Farm-fresh veggies appear to be available in this space (their Farm Stand/Retail Store) year-round. We stocked up on Brussels sprouts, baking potatoes, and squash. I'll admit I continue to look for a unicorn of a Christmas tree lot destination that is truly an experience--somewhere you could spend a couple of hours and look forward to all week or month leading up to your visit. I envision a blend of a casual Christmas market and tree lot all in one--similar to what a few pumpkin patches are starting to do up north with their fall festivals, complete with beer gardens and haunted houses and/or corn mazes. Still, Carpinito Bros beats the competition in the radius I'm willing to drive for our tree! And for that, I give it a solid 4 stars!

Update: December 2023 Decided to buy another tree here thinking our aphid tree was a one time fluke. Nope! Another tree loaded with even more aphids this year! I'm done with Carpinitos.

This place has something for every season. You can get a beautiful Christmas tree here and then look forward to their flower baskets and nursery items in the spring. If you're doing a yard project and need bark, you can pick it up or have it hauled to your residence. Plenty of parking and friendly staff, who answer questions and help you make the best choices. For the Gardner, there are always some great flower baskets with all the supplies you will need. Their selection of fresh produce is outstanding, especially their sweetcorn. In the fall their pumpkin patch is a great family activity and you can pick up a pumpkin or two and some snacks. Great business!

Amazing fresh and local produce. Nice low prices. I can get away with a week's worth of food for $40. Shopping here for most of my groceries has really improved my health! Great variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Not a wilted lettuce or moldy tomato in sight, unlike safeway. Employees are all super nice too.

Yes it has to be improved the owners of this business please consider selling your vegetables in a reasonable price please.Fred Meyer ,WinCo and Safeway have better deals than your business. The squash is way too expensive all the people can't afford to buy it and look at the pumpkins in the farm they are rotting but you wouldn't lower the price .

Spent $28 on 2 tickets for a corn maze that was extremely muddy -- It started unexpectedly DUMPING rain, so we requested a refund as we had just bought the tickets and the lady very rudely refused to offer alternatives such as a bag of popcorn, drink, anything. Said there was nothing to be done and they offer no refunds or alternatives due to weather despite the conditions of the maze being abysmal. I think not offering refunds recklessly is wise, but not offering alternatives is a great way to lose a customer. A free drink wouldve even swayed me, but the lady was such a stickler that I'd honestly go out of my way to tell the *world* not to go here. Currently kissing my $28 goodbye

This place is a gem. They did a great job turning this place into a carnival type place for kids. My daughter and I went to the farm animal area first. They have all kinds of animals roosters to donkeys and pigs, to even camels and llamas. The best part of the farm area was the play area where kids can play in heaps of corn. We then went over to the pumpkin patch area. Didn't purchase entry for the pumpkin patch but bought stuff from their market and also a corn on the cob. Fun place to go to with your kids. Highly recommend. Parking was easy as they have parking attendants to help you find parking.

What a find for fresh produce, gardening, compost and soil. Looking forward to seeing what else they offer throughout the seasons.

It's a good place, they do have great produce and plants but I'm used to shopping at a different produce market (in Sumner/Puyallup) that carries more items. Maybe it was a busy Saturday but I felt rushed, couldn't concentrate on picking things I wanted so we just grabbed a few things and left. Not the store for me. Great prices on produce though.

Pretty good fresh farm produce for great prices!!! Got a box of corn for $27.00, a box of Peaches and large heads of lettuce. All great deals!!! Can't find them at any other place for these kind of prices. Ample space full of fruits, veggies and other food items. Their Kettle Popcorn is good, too! Definitely recommend this place to everyone!!!

Great produce, beautiful flowers, and awesome prices. I normally come here for organic soil, new flowers to plant, pots, berry bushes, and some produce. During my most recent visit, I came to see what their inventory had. They had the most gorgeous tulips potted. Assorted colors, only yellow, only white, or only orange. They were $6/each. The primroses were very colorful and healthy as well. A very easy starter plant for a new green thumb. Everything is beautiful quality and well kept. The staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly. Carpinito has just about everything you'll need. Don't forget they sell Christmas trees and have their pumpkin patch going on during the fall. It's always a good time!

Consistently good, fresh seasonal produce. Always a nice selection of greens and other veggies.

This farm stand is always an amazing place each Christmas. They have a huge assortment of cut trees and flocked ones too. There are wreathes, poinsettia so healthy and full. Not to miss are their farm animals. There's a Cesar a live camel and an assortment of lambs, goats, calves and I think a ram (I'm not sure what he was lol).

Parking is easiest on the left side of the building. I love coming here, it's always filled with happy employees, awesome service and quality time with the kids. Go support this small business.

I bought a rose plant and it was mislabeled. Called the farm but nothing they can do because I don't have the original package that came with the rose plant. Make sure you keep all the packaging just in case you have surprised plants like me and no support from them.

I mainly shop here for their farm grown veggies. It's hard to beat a great price vs your big box grocer. I went last week and they have flocked Christmas trees for sale! I've always love to look at them but never thought of having one at the house due to the messiness comes with. In the spring time the do sell veggie starts for those who have their own backyard garden. I'm always like a kid in the candy store every time I shop here!

I love this place! Coming here is not just a shopping trip. It's an event! Every season and for the holidays they decked the place out and have some kind of activities. The fall is a pumpkin patch paradise, and winter is a holiday wonderland. They have live animals, photo props/backdrops, hot chocolate, snacks, and of course the things you might have come there to buy in the first place such as produce or a Christmas tree. Whatever the season or the holiday, you can come here to get into the spirit.

I've been a fruit stand/garden customer for almost 20 years and have visited the pumpkin patch/corn maze. Great family and great products!!

I love having this nearby, family owned nursery. They have mountains of TONS of different material for individual purchase or wholesale loading (different weight of gravel, mulch, chips, etc), but I personally go for two things: their amazing organic potting soil, and their annual hatch chile roast. Before I knew better, I'd buy potting soil at Home Depot. Until I realized that a year after purchase, the soil was basically sawdust. Carpinitos stuff is alive, and receives nutrients well and beckons key players like earthworms to come nestle in it even after time has passed. The hatch chile roast is an amazing event, where they roast and offer both hot and mild chilies in different sizes. I always get the box and can it to use throughout the year. So tasty! On the other hand, I have stopped buying all of their edible starter seedlings and plants because I recently read their soak their seeds in antifungal. There isn't enough evidence to confirm or refute what long term effects we could expect, but at this time that makes me uncomfortable enough to stop buying them. In the end it was a great thing, because it forced me to learn how to start from seeds!

We always love stopping by to get some plants, starters, vegetables and gardening accessories (and this weekend, many herbs and vege starters are available!)

Produce and plants. What more do you want? Dirt, bark and flowers. I guarantee you will leave with a lot more than you planned on.

Owner (manager?) is extremely rude, unpleasant person. We asked a simple question (about access to the pumpkin patch) and we spoken to in very loud and abusive way. Why would you respond to customer speaking in a polite tone in such an ugly way? Guy obviously has ego problem. I won't patronize a place run in such an unprofessional manner, and recommend that others don't either.

I love carpinito brothers!! They always have the best produce! I get a lot of my produce here because it's local and pretty cheap. I love how during any holiday season they have everything. For fall they had so many pumpkins. Now they have so many cute Christmas trees, wreaths, Christmas plants, anything you can think of. They also sell really good kettle corn. For Christmas they have a little photo booth that's so cute! They also even have reindeer and camel here!! Such a great place to bring friends or family here. They also had a Christmas light room for pictures. It was sooo pretty! A great place for kids. I can't recommend this place enough

Always a great selection of plants and seasonal vegetables from Yakima and elsewhere in Washington. Have had a truck of topsoil delivered from them before as well and delivery was free (decent free delivery radius) and it was decent quality. Staff are usually helpful. Great place to buy veggies!

Love love love coming here it is now a yearly tradition. The corn maze is fun and usually you have to mazes to choose from along with the food I think is great you can also buy fresh vegetables to take home if you love to cook or just love vegetables. Fresh kettle corn popped right there in front of your eyes the smell is amazing and freshly squeezed lemonade now that sounds a little odd if you're it's fall and you want to warm drink but I always get a big cup of their lemonade along with a German sausage. And then on to picking your pumpkin from the pumpkin patch usually for a family or a group if I go on a group of maybe about five or six of us we spend about $100 not too bad and then don't forget if you have children they have a separate place for the children on the opposite side of the street and it'll make sense when you get there where the children can enjoy looking at the animals and hayrides and they can do their own little maze the maze is good for maybe I would say 5-year-olds in between 5 to 10 year old at the group and I would recommend taking a snack before you go in the maze and bundle up in layers it can get a little chilly when you're walking trying to find your way through Carpinito's always does a fantastic job!! At least I think so I keep coming back year after year!!

Love the sales! Plants were so reasonably priced! Not so big but big enough to give you a god variety. I plan to come back during the holidays!

I've been following guidelines and social distancing for months, but today I decided to visit Carpinito Brothers because it's open air and I really wanted to buy local, fresh, produce. What a bad idea. I witnessed several shoppers not wearing masks and several workers directed them to registers without saying anything. A woman was coughing and kept walking around to different produce stalls with her mask pulled down like a chin guard. Thankfully, the worker that was restocking asked her please wear her mask as to not endanger other patrons... just kidding, he just ignored her. Unfortunately, I was sandwiched between two other people with shopping carts and Covid Carol was roaming free. Like many stores, Carpinitos Bothers has guidelines posted but doesn't enforce them. So... if you want pretend to shop safely but also be within 5ft of someone coughing during a pandemic then go to Carpinitos.

Buyer beware. We've made hundreds of purchases over the years and never made any returns. Register receipt clearly states NO EXCHANGES OR RETURNS WITHOUT A RECEIPT, OR AFTER 30-DAYS. Recently tried to return 2 - 6-in plants to customer service. Customer service employee points to a sign on the wall which states "NO RETURNS AFTER 2-DAY." When I showed the 30-day return policy on my receipt..... return was refused!! Nothing about *exceptions to 30-days on either side of the store receipt. NOT about the money but more about the Business Practices involving returns.

This is a local market that is worth a visit. It is open all year round and the market are filled with fresh local quality produce, raw honey, holiday decor, plants, seasonal flowers, herbs, garden stuff, home baking and naturally made goodies. Anyone and everyone will surely love and enjoy Carpinito Brothers any time of the year! Just a reminder, when you shop around fall and winter season bundle up and keep yourself warm because it is an open market and it can be very cold. Great place to grab an array of fruits and vegetables for a reasonable price.

You guys have to buy your produce here! It's incredible how affordable and huge everything is. I had a bad reaction to prednisone and wanted to reset, so we decided to go on a 15 day juice cleanse since we were inspired by Joe cross. There's a shit ton of ingredients that would've cost us so much more had we not discovered carpinito. I'm talking the entire shopping cart filled to the brim, and it's still only costing $70. I've had to return three times to stock up again. Kale is only a dollar a bunch here. And omg the carrots are huuuuuge! Definitely going to return to get my fresh produce.

This is the best market I have ever seen. The vegetables are amazing. One stalk of celery looks like a small tree. The quality is wonderful. The colors are beautiful. I'm not even a pepper person and the peppers are absolutely gorgeous. You could almost go bowling with an onion from this place. We enjoyed fresh corn, dill for pickling, peaches, strawberries, blueberries and beans. In addition to fresh veggies and fruits, there is a giant assortment of spices. You can also purchase beautiful flowers and gardening items. The only thing cheap about this place is the prices. The produce is top quality. This was worth flying from DC to visit!

We've come for our pumpkin patch experience two years now and it's been a good place to go that's close to home. This year we went on a week day which was so nice-easy parking and no crowds or lines. It's $5/person to enter but the fee applies to your pumpkin purchase. This year it was 0.47 a pound. I was disappointed that many of the small pumpkins and the Cinderella pumpkins were already starting to have rotting spots. There were a lot of giant pumpkins to choose from out in the field. At the end, we always like to buy some fresh produce as well (Brussels sprouts and acorn squash).

So I was in the area and stop at Carpinito's for some produce. I used to go here all the time when I lived in the area and really liked it. I bought a cantaloupe. I was cutting it and it looked fine but, it tasted so bad I had to spit it out and threw the whole cantaloupe away. it was from trulock fruit co. Peacock fruit, never tasted anything so bad.

I've been shopping here for 10+ years. I buy my proven winner petunias here every spring. This year I bought 3 flats and spent a total of $180. I bought 3 varieties, unfortunately, one of the varieties died a few days later. All of the other plants were healthy and thriving. I waited a few more days to see if they would perk back up but they did not. The next weekend I reached out to Carpanito Bros. with photos to show what happened and to my surprise, they did not care. I was told that their plant policy is only 2 days and needs manager approval. Of course, they didn't include the manager's information or even sign the email. I'm just one customer, so it won't matter to them to lose me, but after years of being a faithful customer, I expected a little more professionalism over $45 of dead flowers. I'll be shopping somewhere else moving forward.

I love this place. Biggest and freshest lettuce I've ever seen. In addition to great vegetables and fruit, the best best source for top soil, mulch and bark. Their bulk material is weed free. I always find something interesting to try in the store in addition to their farm grown produce. They stock lots of Washington grown or Washington made brands, it is great to support our local businesses. Friendly staff are always helpful.

Want a Douglas Fir for under $50? This is where you want to be. They have Noble, Douglas and Grands ranging from $35-$90. The lot is fragrant and the staff are highly attentive. No matter who we stopped to ask questions to, someone was always available to answer either about price or tree type. The layout is pretty clear, but the line between tree types is a little hard to understand unless you know the needles well (and we don't). We're very happy with our selection and highly recommend this store for your Christmas tree!

Carpinitos has always been my go to for fresh locally grown produce! Bit of a drive, but we'll worth it. The kandy corn is the sweetest fresh corn available. Day 2, got starchy already. Why? The plums were tasteless, nectarines not sweet either. This year, prices have increased, like everywhere else. BUT, THIS LAST TRIP, the pickled cucumbers, gr beans, peaches were going bad by 2nd day, desipite being in the refrigerator. I usually spend close to $50.00 each time. Rather disappointing, it wasn't even a really hot day. What's going on?

We always are able to find quality produce here. Worth the extra side trip to get avocados that don't go bad in a day and super sweet mango's and the delicious sweet fall corn!!

I bought several large hanging baskets from them last year. Unfortunately I did not hang around for the cashier to change the tape on the cash register for my receipt - big mistake. Within an hour of my purchase over $3000.00 was charged to my credit card. A year later I am still waiting for someone to return my call. Thankfully Chase took care of this for me.

I remember coming here all the time with my mom when I was younger but never took advantage of being an adult and coming here alone.... until now. Every single time I come to CB, they always have rare fruits of veggies that you can't get anywhere else. They have huge organic snap peas longer then my fingers!!!!!! I purchase a "lemon drop melon" and that melon was the most unique fruit I have ever tasted! It had my taste buds running wild! They have everything from plants, soil, fruits and veggies. And everything is fresh! I always notice the workers changing the produce and making sure everything is neat and fresh. Good work CB!!! I will always be your lifetime customer!

Entrance fee applies to your pumpkin purchases, overall a great experience. Very family friendly! I am giving this a 4/5 because it is heavily jam-packed and no social distancing is really followed. There are hand-washing stations provided all over the farm. Got a giant 30lb pumpkin here for a really reasonable price. Get ready to fill up that wheelbarrow! Many photobooth opportunities inside the pumpkin patch. In the entrance, they got roasted corn, hotdogs, lemonade, big cabbages, sweet corn, you name it! Check out the farm and corn maze while you are at it.

I purchased my Christmas tree here,and within three days it was so dry I couldn't put the lights on I was scared it would catch on fire!!! I have purchased all my Christmas trees here for the past 14 years time to find a new tree lot!!

I've been wanting to check this place out and I finally did! They have a great selection for pretty much everything you need for gardening! Pots, plants, seeds, shovels, gloves, bark, and much more that I probably don't even know since I don't have a green thumb. They even have seeds for birds and little bird feeders too! Service was great. The crowd isn't bad on a Saturday afternoon. Still had lots of parking and the cashiers moved quickly. I can't wait for when their produce starts getting sold again when it gets to be that time of year!
