Walking in the first time, the store is a major surprise. It takes quite a while to actually get…read morearound and look at all the options. Yes, beautiful fresh meats behind the counter but so much more. Frozen dinners, frozen soups, all kinds of quicky dinner mains. Sides of all kinds, along with a full complement of deli meats, salads of all kinds and description, sausages, stuffed meats. From the eye-popping displays to the variety, it's hard to make a decision knowing this could add up like a trip to Costco. The prices--nice--affordable. The staff behind the fresh meat counter are very accommodating with portions. I'm shopping for two, not an army. The meats we've tried so far have been very good, tasty, fresh, and I have more confidence in getting meat that is actually healthy and not a product full of chemicals or close to spoilage. Still, the chicken thighs we got recently were rather oddly cut; the only quibble I've had so far. I have many more choices to try--and I plan to.

This is exactly what the name describes, its a small round farm stand on a country road. I have…read morebeen coming here for years because they usually have some the best unique produce out in this area. I was sadden to see that the farm was sold to a new owners. But my sadness was quickly laid to rest because the new owners are just as enthusiastic about the farm and their produce as the previous owners. What do I mean by unique? Well, this time I found long bean which is commonly utilized in southeast Asian cuisine. I love adding it to many different types of salads. I simply wash it and cut it up and add it raw. Its delicious and healthy and once again I have never seen this at a mid west farm stand. This farm also produces very good honey. The new owner is also attempting to try growing some grapes for wine making and of course I purchased a bottle of his young red wine that has not been aged.

After visiting friends in La Porte, we wanted to stop into Garwoods on the way back to Chicago, but…read morethey have limited hours during the winter months. So that dashed that plan. We found that Remus Farms was open and on our route home to Chicago, so that is why we stopped. Upon arriving, we saw that they have been open since 1932, and we love to see a business survive for so long. Outside there were huge bins of pumpkins, squash and gourds. It had been extremely cold the week before, so they had all froze. And sadly, now that they were thawed, they were soft and moldy. They should have been tossed instead of left out for customer to see. Inside, there was a huge area of produce, baked goods, jams, jellies, salsas and other farmer's market canned products. In another room, they had evergreen boughs that they were making into wreaths, swags, and grave blankets. Since we visited during December, we assumed that most of the produce came from somewhere else, and was not "farm fresh." But everything looked okay. There was a plentiful array of canned goods, but all of them had a layer of dust, and looked like they had been sitting undisturbed for a long time. Most of products still had a good expiration date, but the dust did not make them look appetizing. If I recall, the retail area has a dirt floor, and that may account for the dust. But they should have their employees use a feather duster to keep the cans clean. There were plenty of baked goods, too--pies, breads, muffins, etc. But a lot of them looked like they had been sitting for awhile, and without an expiration date, they looked suspect. We took a pass. We did find a big, lovely evergreen swag for $20, and we bought a bag full of small gourds that were priced at $1 apiece. We also bought off Remus-branded cherry salsa, and it was really delicious. I cannot comment on the nursery area because most of it was closed for the winter. I applaud Remus for being open for over 90 years, and there are a lot of good things to say about this place, but they would do well to tidy up. I am sure that it would help their business, and make their product more appealing to their customers.

Not to mention, the farm is simply adorable. The people are great, kind, and welcoming. I personally purchased many of their fresh produce and genuinely loved it (not to mention the joy of it being affordable and reasonably priced). The blueberries tasted heavenly, so good that I had to purchase their 5 lb box! I will be returning... Leaving this review so that others may also find this excellent market. I'm so glad I did. I can't believe it was right "under my nose" all this time, and I had never known of it before. Thanks, Remus Farms!
