We stopped by The Fresh Market/Farm Fresh located at chatham drive because it was convenient. We found the dry spice package we needed, but the packaging was broken. We went to customer service and spoke with the man in charge, but unfortunately, he told us it was the last one in stock. Since we are not familiar with the area and weren't sure where else to go, we decided to take the broken package and use it anyway--it's a dry spice, so we figured it would be fine. To our surprise, the same gentleman came to the cashier and told her not to charge us--it was free. Even though the cost of the spice wasn't significant, his thoughtfulness and kindness truly impressed us. This kind of gesture doesn't happen often in international markets. He made this Thanksgiving feel even more like Thanksgiving.

The selection here is immense with a large variety of jarred goods, drinks, dairy products and even meats. I ended up buying a jar of pickled watermelon rinds and sweet potato butter. Both were delicious selections that I haven't really seen anywhere else. The cashier was really nice and bagged my items for me. They only accept Cash or Checks, not CC. This prevented me from grabbing more, so I'd definitely recommend coming prepared with cash so you can get everything you'd like. The prices are fair and cheaper than what you'd find in the grocery store, so it's a decent trade-off for the cash-only model!

I had the same idea of sticking up my fave things: milk, Kobe beef brisket cold cuts $19.99 per lb but soooooo good so worth it! Best warm store-baked bread with it: cranberry orange bread.

In case I get snowed in, got myself dark chocolate hummus, great for my sweets craving without the guilt. LOVE Wegmans: such unique offerings. *****

The layout of the grocery store is easy to navigate, and the aisles are wide enough to get through. They offer an array of products. I find their deli selection to be pretty expansive.

There is often pretty good deals/sales. The staff has been great. They are so kind. The cashiers are amazing, well at least the ones I have come in contact with.
