The Fresh Market

I want to love Fresh Market but feel the glory is in the beautiful presentation — not the prices or product-sourcing. Many fair options for organic, natural, responsibly-sourced *pantry* items (but wow do you pay a huge premium), but the “fresh” items don’t offer ideal options. I’ve been here a handful of times and struggle to find organic produce. I see it on their website but don’t see it in-store. Driscoll’s berries, sure, everywhere has their organic berries. Other produce, not so much. Fine, I have to go all the way to Springfield, to Martindale’s, to find trustworthy organic, locally-grown produce. Could not find any fresh bread that’s not made with enriched flour, niacin, any of that junk. Bread should have 4 ingredients, not 24. I was really disappointed that there weren’t organic options. All bakery items such as cookies and cake had a super-long ingredients list with dyes, preservatives and yucky stuff; may as well go to Acme. A simple 13-oz jar of Bon Maman jam is about $8.99 here, when you can buy it for $6.99 at Wegman’s. Butcher line was long, but at a glance I couldn’t see any designation on the meat such as “pasture-raised,” “grass-finished,” “organic,” etc. It’s a really pretty store; they know how to fuel your shopping with dopaminergic surges. But for those shocking prices I want something reliably organic and locally-sourced — not the same quality I could buy at Acme for 1/3 the price.

Best around for quality, cleanliness. Great employees. Good customer relations. I had a vegetarian sushi platter made up for party. Well received, delicious. The nice lady in that department made it beyond my expectations. Will definitely be back. Only thing I had problem with/ after scanning code. A call helped me .

My wife and I stopped by just to walk through because we enjoy the atmosphere and the items they sell. We came across a section where they offer pre-made meals that you can buy with all the ingredients, which was cool and a dinner meal. The dinner meal they offer each piece of the meal for $25 (such as the chicken, rice, vegetables etc) for four people, which fit right in for our family dinners and they change it weekly. They also had a great deal for chicken that was buy 1lb get one free, which the employee was very helpful to show me where everything was. I also enjoy going to look for difference seasonings and marinades, which they have a great selection. We decided that we might have to go up there more to check out what is there.

A lovely higher end supermarket with numerous prepared food sections, and produce, fish, and meat counters.

When buying chicken or beef the app is very confusing. I would buy and do pickup more if it was straight forward on saying buying a lb. But instead it shows say 1 piece of chicken or sausage at the lb price. The shopper only puts 1 in bag but you think you’re buying a lb. I gave up doing pickup and going to your store. I pickup from somewhere else now.

I first visited this grocery store in Charlotte NC and I was so happy to find one in Pennsylvania. Everything is fresh and I love the Loyalty perks like a free slice of cake for my birthday. The staff are very friendly and the store is very clean.

We do not normally get up this way and I decided to stop in to take a look at what they offer. The 1st thing I notice when I walked in was the awesomel smell of the coffee beans. The store was super clean and staffed by a bunch of friendly people. The meats were all bright red and looked super fresh and reasonably priced. The bulk food section had a lot of variety and I love being able to get just the amount I want.

The staff are kind, courteous, and just delightful. They really make this shopping experience one of a kind. I love the classical music that plays in the store. Selection is good, though oftentimes with the produce one can find a better selection nearby for less money as we live in a fairly rural area. It is sort of a gentrified store in the area, but it is fun to shop in.
