I LOVE this place. This is the best PRODUCE MARKET in central Jersey, perhaps the best on earth! Yeah, the Korean immigrants who own all the good PRODUCE MARKETS in central Jersey (like all the good Greek immigrants who own the diners, the Italian immigrants who own the pizzerias, the Chinese immigrants who own the Chinese takeout places, the Lebanese immigrants who own the best falafel places, the Irish who own the best taverns, etc.), all mistakenly call their PRODUCE MARKETS: Farmers Markets, instead of PRODUCE MARKETS, which is what they really are. A real "farmers market", in central Jersey is held only once a week, outside, during the warm season only, and has ten or fifteen different farmers there, each with their own kiosk, or stand, to sell their produce from. And they are more expensive (like double the price) of supermarkets. But these Korean-owned "Farmers Markets", which I call PRODUCE MARKETS, are only 1 owner, not ten or fifteen like real farmers markets, they operate 7 days a week, year-round, and sell produce from all over the world, not just from local farmers. And they are also about ONE-THIRD the price of supermarkets, and are much more like an expanded version of the produce section of a supermarket, with much more variety, greater quantity, and much lower price. Their quality may not always be as good as supermarkets, but a good produce shopper should always examine produce before buying it, anywhere. And they are more crowded than supermarket produce sections, a testament to the excellent prices in these Korean-owned PRODUCE MARKETS (as I call them). So, using the phrase "Farmers Market" is really a misnomer, from an American's point of view, but who cares? The unbelievable great price and variety, are what matters. Got it?
