I'm glad, really glad that we have this farmers market in JP. However, the people that work stands…read moreare pretty moody. You never know from one shopping day for the next if they're gonna give you the hairy eyeball or they're gonna be helpful. One example: I had some questions and I asked the people at the stand and they were like oh yeah just go to our website and send a message and maybe back it up with a phone call. I called three times over. Two weeks and I sent two emails. No one ever got back to me. And it was really important that I discussed some things health related things and I simply couldn't get an answer. So next time I was at the stand, I told the people what it happened and the person I was talking to literally just shrugged their shoulders and trying to be funny they said in a cartoon voice, "well, tough beans!" Not cool. Really not cool.

This farmer's market is a cornerstone of the JP community. It's such an awesome resource for a…read moresmall and somewhat isolated area to have a regular farmers market all year, even in the winter. I really appreciate that given the small space available the priority is given to fresh foods (produce, fish, meat) rather than other small businesses like candles or tote bags that you see at larger markets. I do wish we were able to have the Tuesday market available all year instead of just summer, but I'm glad Saturdays at least are all year. As other reviewers have shared, prices are not cheap but the quality is exceptional. If we were able to get to use more of the parking lot to bring in more stalls that would be awesome, but until then I'm happy with our little baby market.

But for me, the real delight, is their hot food and coffee offerings. It's become our weekend breakfast/brunch haunt. The breakfast sandwich is delicious and after a small request, they agreed to sub the chorizo for avocado to make it vegetarian. I always appreciate this flexibility from the staff. The star of the show however is their breakfast wrap with the zhoug sauce. Made to order freshly scrambled eggs, a crispy hash brown, that delicious green sauce and you're in taste bud heaven. Of course, I cannot forget about their coffee. Mad respect for anyone that makes in house syrups and does not use that fake bottled stuff. And the coffee is strong but smooth too. We also tried the matcha strawberry latte with the fresh strawberry syrup (it's a bit more jammy than I prefer and so not the easiest to mix) but tasty nevertheless. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and might I add, we're happy they're here.

I was disappointed in the quality of the arrangement. The gift was delivered through Door Dash. Being Valentine's Day weekend, I knew that the shop would be busy. I waited until Monday afternoon to reach out to Micro Plant to let them know that the flowers were less than the quality I knew they were known for. Within 30 minutes of my reaching out, the owner, Julio contacted me. He assured me that quality is paramount to him. I was not asking for anything. I just wanted to let him know that between his shop and my house, something happened to my gift. He apologized profusely and wanted to make it right. A little after 7 this morning, Julio was at my front door with a gorgeous rose arrangement and an apology. I was surprised to say the least. Julio takes amazing pride in his work and it shows. By the way, I do not live in the city and his kind gesture meant a drive on the expressway during rush hour. I whole heartedly recommend Micro Plant Studios for your floral and unique gift needs.
