Scott’s Review:

Jersey Farmer’s Market has been around for years and has grown in a quality market.  When you enter the store,  a giant Pineapple Welcome Banner greets you.  Then you will notice that there is an amazing florist in their section the left.  Further along their left wall, you will find the seafood counter is fully stocked with fresh fish and seafood.

Right after the seafood counter is a fully stocked spice section, bread and then dried fruits and nuts.  But this market is known for their consistent quality with their fresh fruits and vegetables.  Unlike other farmers markets, your produce should keep for a while before it spoils.

I almost left out the best part!  Sushi!  This market has their in-house sushi take-out window between the florist and seafood counter.  The previous sushi chef retired and now the new chef is making a name for himself.  Be sure to grab a menu to call in your order or place your order at the beginning of your shopping trip.

After you check-out, and if you didn’t pick up any sushi, you can visit Juicy Platters located in the same building as the market.  Try (a little bit) of their “Spicy AF” hot sauce at Juicy Platters where they whip up rice, salad or gyro platters at reasonable prices.

Scott’s Review:

Giant Farmers Market Hackensack offers farm fresh produce, meats, seafood and deli items at reasonable prices in Bergen County.  See the bottom of this article for the location of the sale items.

Outside:

The address is listed as 324 Main Street – but the parking lot is in the back on River Street.  The parking lot is a little tricky, At the time of my visit, they were under renovation.  Note, that you can enter from River Street, as well as the two side streets (East Berry and Passaic Streets).  Your best exit is on Passaic Street to which has traffic lights on the Main Street and River Street intersections.

Inside:

Once you finished parking in the maze of a parking lot, and stroll past any produce/plants/specials that are outside as you enter in the back.  Then, beyond the cash registers, you will see the deli, meat, and seafood counters.

The deli counter offers the finest Boar’s Head selections.  The meat counter is a full-fledged butcher and a lot of offerings.  And finally, the seafood counter is a mini version of a port city fish market.
