Worker was very helpful, handy, and nice. Ice melt was out of stock at other stores, but I'm glad I came to this place. I called ahead of time and the worker was polite and provided clear answers while being informational. When I got there, other customers were also buying ice melt bags (50lbs), and he carried the bags to everyone's cars. Great customer service. read more

I adore this place! A local gem I've been shopping there since childhood. They have the best eggs, milk and fresh local produce. Even wine and beer! Today we went looking for a Christmas tree. We bought our tree from the market this morning. $39~$100 range there. Beautiful full fresh smelling pine trees! My first REAL tree. Happy to be back in the neighborhood and supporting a local shop in our community. The customer service was great, felt very welcomed. read more

Country Boy Market - 5ft Xmas tree at $39.99 very pleased (smells great) - Grocery Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

We have been taking, and will continue to do so, the social limiting and wearing of masks. Normally we got to large grocery stores at least once a week but are limiting are shopping to smaller venues. Country Boy has become a go to for most of our perishables. They also adapted their store to accommodate the early need of their customers during a period of shortage of some essential item. They added toilet paper, paper towels, distilled water, and spring water to their inventory. They of course require mask, have a sanitary station for wiping carts, and new procedures for checking out, including wiping the belt between customers. As usual they carried spring flowers, hanging baskets and vegetables so that I could plant my garden without going to a big warehouse-type hardware/garden center. Everything I bought is flourishing, except my sunflowers. But I think that was my fault and they didn't get enough sun. I'm even harvesting tomatoes this year and I'm usually not very successful with that. Their fruits and vegetables are always fresh and delicious. I've even been buying some groceries there like salsa, mayo, sour cream, and eggs. They have a nice variety of unique cheeses in the refrigerator case. They've even consistently had flour in stock which I've noticed a lot of people were searching for in March and April. I have found that if we go early in the day they usually not too crowded and shopping and check-out are a breeze. read more

I'm this mentally and emotionally draining time with the coronavirus I bought my mom a dozen bright pink tulips to brighten her day! They were priced at $7.99 but should have been free: when my mom took them out of the packaging, the insides weee rotten and the leaves were wilted! She placed them in a vase: only one stood up like fresh tulips do! They were a waste of money! No flower "food" was included like the other bunches of flowers. All in all, DO NOT BUY FLOWERS HERE! Trader Joe's flowers are always fresh and way more affordable! The produce I bought looked fresh... after the experience with the flowers, I'm concerned the Brussels sprouts and bag of onions might not be fresh like the flowers read more

Nope. Never again. I've been a Country Boy customer for over 40 years, from long before they moved to Glenmont, but after this latest interaction, I will never support their small business again. In the past I buy - and have delivered - a substantial amount of mulch from Country Boy. This season I purchased 125 bags of mulch. My gardener saved the empty packaging so I could double check what I'd received. 116 bags of mulch were delivered. Despite the rude discourse with the owner (who uses racist language, btw), he refused to budge on his delivery county. After all, he said he loaded the bags himself. I seriously doubt that since the bags were waterlogged and must weigh over 50 lbs each. The bottom line: the owner is dishonest, nasty and the mulch quality isn't all that great. I would dispute this charge through my credit card company, but the owner is psycho and don't want to worry about him doing something to me or my house. Although I like to support small businesses, I will be buying my mulch from someone else in the future. read more

They were my second family. My parents knew Mr. B parents when they were in Wheaton when they had a meat market I remember as a child going there. What a warm loving giving family they were. I worked there for many years they treated me as family. A year ago Mr.B in December passed away that broke my heart. Both of us would stay in touch I was going threw breast cancer and he had fell and falling sick we both would cheer each other up and send support to each other. He was my second Dad treated me like one of his what a fabulous loving family I'm lucky to have been included working with them all. Country Boy had the best produce flowers selection of wine and the coldest beer. Thank you Mr.B Jimmy and Tommy Barnsley you all were great professional men. This place will be missed read more

This place has great fruit and vegetables. Lots of beer and wine. Many brands and huge selection. Prices are good too. Employees are friendly and very helpful. To tell the truth, I forgot what a hidden gem this place is. You can't go wrong here! read more

I usually don't drive this far up Georgia Ave. H Mart is about as far as I get. So, when my friend spied this place, she wanted to stop in. We thought it was some kind of a lumber/ garden store. I do believe it was a Hechinger's in a former life, but has it really been 20 years? (El D. says he/she has been coming here for that long.) As we parked we noticed mostly men carrying out cases of beer. OK, so it's a lumber/garden/beer and wine store. Nope. It's much more. They are a small grocery /local produce store too. And their prices are cheap! Not just for the produce, but the beer and wine too. The two bags of mulch my pal bought were $2 cheaper than that big box chain store... the one with the orange sign. Locally grown squash was $0.99/lb. That's cheaper than the local farmers' markets. Now, it's not the prettiest place, or the brightest place, but the employees are friendly, and will load mulch into your trunk for you. read more

Always the Best fruits, vegetables, and plants, available. This is a ONE OF A KIND store. They've been using the same Private companies for their goods, since the 50's. Don't miss a visit, to get their Awesome tomatoes... read more

Fresh and mostly local produce at VERY reasonable prices. They also have cheap beer and wine. The mulch is cheap and good quality, that stuff at home depot is junk and they will load it in your car. If you like good, fresh produce, cheap beer and wine, give it a try! You will be back. read more

Gotta love a family business!!! Country Boy has been a go to for us for many years. You will find a very helpful and knowledgeable staff waiting to help. Their prices are fair and the produce is second to none! read more

Good customer service. They sell food, dirt and mulch...but how do you sell bags of dirt, but no pots or planters?? Anyway, I like this store because it sells local products. It makes you feel like you're down south. I bought some fresh fruits and veggies to snack on. They also sell some other groceries that you wouldn't think would be in there. 4 Stars! read more

I came back to get mulch for my front yard. All of their mulch is local and reasonably priced. At the entrance there are samples to look and touch. A very friendly employee came to help me figure out which mulch word work best for my goal. I left with four bags of mulch and two soil conditioner bags for about 4$ each.. I don't remember how many pounds but it was about the same size as the stuff from Home Depot. He loaded the bags, brought them to the car and loaded them into the car for us. I plan on only coming here for mulch- buy from local farms rather than the multi billion dollar Scott company that makes crappy products. Produce is good. Prices are fair. Beer is on and off in price. Milk is priced low!! More reason for me visit country boy. read more

been coming 40 plus years, can always rely for fresh fruits and vegetable. Always a pleasure to see a fixture in the community that feels like family and sells quality products. read more

I have seen the elderly owner be abrasive and rude to his ethnic customers who comprise the bulk of his customer base. His prices aren't worth it. I would rather pay $1.00 more for anything at a Giant food rather than give this poor excuse for a human being any money at all. It's a shame that customers put up with his insulting behavior thinking they are saving money. read more

I was so excited this spring to be able to get a load of mulch delivered so I could garden with Covid in place. This is the worst mulch I have had in my 45 Years of gardening. Nothing but Poison Ivy and Oak , EVERYWHERE, which I never had in my gardens before this time!! I cant get rid of this and am at my wits end with it. If you want Poison Oak and Ivy then please order from them they own this Market! read more

Had a really great experience getting bags of mulch delivered. The truck couldn't back right up to my property (I live in a townhouse), so the nice young man carried all 17 bags the extra 100 feet to my front yard. Plus they were able to deliver it the day after I called (a lot sooner than the few other places I was considering). I'll definitely be calling them next time I need mulch delivered--thanks for making things so easy, Country Boy! read more

Beware: do NOT buy wood from this store. We bought a cord of "seasoned" wood and had it delivered. The wood is either not seasoned properly or it's just wet, because after multiple attempts it does not burn. We called the man who delivered it and he was extremely rude and would not give us any sort of refund. Terrible experience. read more

Stay away from this store. First time I went, ho-hum, wasn't impressed with much and walked out. I'm new to the area and gave it a second chance. This time as I was going in I heard the (white) owner screaming and swearing at an elderly black gentleman who had parked his car in "the wrong place" while his wife was shopping. I intervened gently but firmly 'cause I don't put up with this kind of mistreatment, then the owner's brother came over and they called the police on me and the old man just for standing in their parking lot -- while the elderly man was waiting for his wife, what was he going to do, leave her there? Well, the police were cool and no one got arrested, but this place isn't called Country Boy for nothing. Spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere. read more

Grocery wise it can be a bit sparse, but the offerings for beer and party incidentals are solid. What I am most interested in reviewing them for are their plants and herbs. and I waited this long on purpose, so I could see how they performed. We bought a number of plants here for our potted garden. Cucumber, roma tomato, patio tomato, salsa pepper, and a variety of herbs (Basil, dill, thyme, and cilantro). We also bought an okra plant. All of them performed well. The herbs are still growing like mad. We had an explosion of excellent cucumbers, though a vacation where our waterer failed us has led to the demise of that plant :( The Patio tomato's sucked, but I chalk that up to that type of tomato. The plant itself performed wonderfully, as did the Roma plant, and the Romas have been great. The pepper plant was fantastic, and the "salsa" peppers (aka random ass long green-to-red peppers) have proven very versatile (pickled, pepper vinegar, in salads, bbq sauces...). We plan on hitting country boy up again next spring when we're planting more veggies for our little pot garden. It's really nice to be able to grab some cilantro right off the porch. read more

This place is a bit unknown to many but it has great customer service and has some great looking produce (although I haven't tried any yet). My company was in a tight spot when the entire region ran short on deicing products this winter. All of my "go-to" suppliers were of no help and after driving 1 hour west to Frederick and 1 hour south to Manassas to get small amounts of product from other companies I found Country Boy. They held my orders in their warehouse for a couple weeks (even when other customers were trying to buy it) and kept me informed of when the new orders of salt and products were being delivered next. They would call when the products arrived and to check when I would be picking them up because they already had them waiting outside for my crew to pickup. Although, I can get cheaper prices with my previous vendors I will always use these guys when I have to or if my current vendors let me down again I would consider switching altogether. I don't think Ron S. comments should even be allowed up on this site since 1) He was not involved in the incident and admits to walking in after the incident was already in progress 2) Brings racial epithets into the story which only shows he is the biased one and 3) says "this place isn't called country boy for nothing" which implies other nonrelated personal vendettas and is more keen on tarnishing this company's name than writing a legit and coherent review. read more

Love this family run country style store. My family has been buying all our flower and vegetable plants, eggs, milk, fruit, honey and vegetables at Country Boy for decades!. Large, fresh selection at prices usually lower than the big box stores. A lot of local farms provide their selection. Forget Home Depot, Giant Food, Shoppers Food, etc.. We really like how they keep up with the seasons. They even sell local beer! Great mannered owners and employees! P.S. I don't know why it says I'm from Texas, I'm an 1980's Albert Einstein graduate! read more

Fresh produce & great prices, always. Family owned, which I love and staff that remembers me with each visit. In the fall, the grapefruit is the best in the area. I always go there for various lettuces, apples, mushrooms, herbs, plantains, and eggs. Also seasonally, you can get herbs and start your veggie garden, and around Christmas time get your Christmas tree and garland -- lots of options. I've been going here for about 20 years (I'm 35); I even drive from Rockville, just for the produce. read more

We thought we found an undiscovered gem, but this place is a mess. Tried to buy lawn supplies here. Cashier messed up initial transaction several times. Days later when we needed to make a return, instead of putting money back on card we were charged a second time. Upon pointed out error, owner was rude, would not acknowledge mistake and cursed out my husband. When owner finally pulled his records and realised the mistake was his, no eye contact, no apology, just grumbles under his breathe. Poor service! read more

I love this place. Small, but with a really cool vibe. I like the large beer and wine selection and the veggies are fresh. They have mulch in the spring and de-icer in the winter time. Think of this place as a cross between a road-side vegetable stand and a very eclectic grocery store you would find in the middle of nowhere and you will be in the right frame of mind to shop here. I have never been treated rudely by anyone at any time I have stopped by here. I have shopped on weekends, weekdays, Sunday afternoons, 5 minutes before closing time and more. Never a bad word from any one. Maybe they don't suffer fools gladly? I don't know. Country Boy is and will always be my go-to store. Things I have bought from here: Eggs, milk, IPAs, wine, craft beers, mulch, ice melt, corn on the cob, pork rinds, baking potatoes, onions and broccoli. read more

Great "neighborhood" market. Small enough to go in for a quick run, nice selection of fresh produce and the prices and quality are way better then the Shoppers next door. Great prices on beer too. They also carry plants/mulch in season. The plants are good quality and cheaper then anything from Home Depot or other comparative places read more

The Country Boy is a wonderful store. The prices are always very reasonable. The produce is always fresh and when seasonably possible, locally grown. You go in, you help yourself. questions about certain products will be answered. remember it is a family owned business and one must be patient. this store is the best in my book. read more

I stop at Country Boy every week. For fresh produce, beer & wine, you can't beat it and its a quick check-out. They also offer the best prices on milk. During the planting season, Country Boy routinely offers top quality plants and mulch. If you are trying to enhance your beds, buy the Leaf-Gro instead of the topsoil. Topsoil in general is over-rated. read more

Only $2.99 for Milk!! And good prices for their fresh produce.

Great service. Fresh produce. My favorite are their collection of jam and jellies. A few years back I was looking for lunch bags and they said they don't sell them. But they proceeded to give me several so that I could pack lunch for the next few days and not have to run to another store. I don't think I would get that kind of service at a chain grocery store. read more

A neighborhood gem. I buy almost all of my produce at Country Boy. Not only does it have a great selection of (often local) produce but it is probably one of the cheapest places to buy beer in the area (the wine selection is solid and has a range of price points). If you're in the market for firewood or mulch, this is your place. Between Country Boy and the Shoppers next door, you can pretty much get all your shopping down in one trip. read more

Absolutely horrible. Customer service is horrendous. They are all so rude and the owner will not speak with any customers. will never go here again read more

Was in the other day, as I am a common shopper there and took my reusable bags. Bought some apples and beer. Was offered help to carry it to the car, as no other grocery store would do. And yes...my bags were accepted. I go in after work and this place is always clean and neat and I wouldn't dream of shopping anywhere else. As far as the previous post goes...I have not seen any sign advising me not to bring my reusable bag. And I have been a Country Boy shopper for 2 yrs, at least. Thank you for your awesome service and great store. Will be back! read more

This place is near my new house and what a great find! I got ingredients and fresh produce for several meals for under $10 - the prices are great! The store's layout is nice, too. I'm from Texas, so it brings me back to the South (in a good way) with their barrells and wooden fixtures. Best deal I found - $1.79 for asparagus! read more

I used to come here when I lived near Glenmont metro for a bit. Looks like your basic, run of the mill store with nothing at all fancy. Maybe that is why the prices tend to be pretty decent and even better, the quality is superior to Shoppers near by. Beer, when on special, can be a good bargain but these guys close early so you usually have to go somewhere else. read more

I've been going to country boy for about 20 years now. The produce is always great and I can pick up beer and wine. This morning I ran out of firewood and called them around 8am. 20 minutes later they were at my house delivering a cord of wood. Great service. read more

My dogs killed the grass in backyard and not I have a mud lake. I looked all around for straw. Went homedepot and non there. I went to Country Boy and they had at a good price. I love this place. Great place to get firewood too. Not just a grocery store. Small store feel. Staff is very friendly.... read more

Our family has been going to Country Boy for decades. We remember when they were in downtown Wheaton. It's a family run store. We love the freshness of their produce and that they try to stock from local farms. The apple selection in great. I especially love the Stamen Apples that come in harvest mid October. We always buy their jumbo brown eggs. Everyone that works their has been really nice to us. I hope they never close! This kind of store are so hard find these days! It's to bad their next door to the jackasses and rotten food at Shoppers! Roger 1983 read more

Looking for veggie seedlings to plant in your garden AND a cool craft beer selection? Then look no further as Country Boy Market will be your one stop shop. I've passed by this place many a time but since it isn't directly on the way to H Mart or Brookside Gardens I haven't made the stop in, that is until today. I was planning to stop by a hardware/garden supply store to pick up some vegetable and herb seedlings for this growing season and was in the neighborhood so finally made the stop in. And boy was I happy. They had a great selection of seedlings, especially tomatoes, at good prices and in good health. Much cheaper than your average big box hardware store for sure. Step inside to pay and what do you know, it's a market with a surprising craft beer area. Killed two birds with one stone as I had to get a quality IPA for a cookout later that day. Will definitely be back if I pass by the area. Make sure you do the same if you need to kill two birds with one stone like me. read more
