Did you try a sample of cider donuts on the way in? And did you buy a bag or two on the way out? They make fresh and yummy cider donuts there. Produce are fresh and there are many varieties of plants (hanging plants, herbs, etc). Make sure to grab your plants first before entering the store as the registers are inside. They have own parking lot.

This place is a local gem. I have always stopped on the way home from work to pick up whatever I…read moreneed that night, but during this pandemic it has been so helpful. The variety and quality of produce is very good, local when in season. The carrots recently have been the best I have ever had. I also check out the plants and flowers, ice cream and grilling meats. The owner and employees are really nice and always make me feel better when I leave than when I arrived.

Thank you Katie for your wonderful veggies. We picked up our called in order today and it was…read moreperfect. Everything I asked for was there just as I had requested.

It isn't that clean because it is in a very old warehouse. Staff is happy and helpful. Plan teens are usually at least six for a dollar. You can find many varieties of mangoes and avocados.

Driving along the Mystic Valley Parkway can be a harrowing experience especially during rush hours…read more And portions of that drive aren't that scenic. BUT the Condon Shell Park, where this farmer's market is held every Thursday from June-October is a little bit of paradise among all of the crazy drivers. Set along the Mystic River, the farmer's market offers people selling fresh vegetables, flowers, fruit, meat, breads, desserts and lots more. On my latest trip I learned about some new bike trails, read about Medford's history on some local signage, listened to some lovely folk music and bought some sausage and brat from Scott Brothers New American Meat Company (check them out!). Everything is fresh, local and reasonably priced. Ignore the older reviews when this was at a different location. This is much better than in past years.

Their snack aisle was full of all childhood favorites including Fandangos (an addicting corn based chip) and polvilho (a crunchy, airy snack). They have an extensive cafe menu that I will come back to try.

So I was just breezing through some reviews and noticed that I've never reviewed Mckinnon's Market…read more So here's a quick overview of this fabulous small butchery. I've actually been a customer at McKinnon's going back all the way to the 80s. Back in the day my dad and I used to drive over to Everett and get truckloads full of meats for our barbecues. We roll up with a truck loaded up with ice. We used to purchase about 15 pork roasts 50 to 100 pounds of hamburg, same for chicken wings, sausages etc. as we used to have huge Fourth of July parties with approximately 400 people at our house and we purchased all the meats here. Always a good experience, always good quality never any negativity at this store. Onto the present I still currently stop in a couple times a month to pick up a porterhouse or some of their specialty marinated meats. They also have killer homemade deli roast beef behind the counter for sandwiches. As most markets, they have the miscellaneous, a little vegetable section, some dry goods, etc., etc. but I still consider this a butchery. They have fabulous meats, chickens etc. go by you might get lucky with a special. There's about 8 or 10 offstreet parking spots so hopefully you get lucky and get one. If not, wait about five minutes circle the block and one will open up. FYI, parking on Broadway you do need to pay the meter. The staff here are either seasoned veterans or high school kids all which are very respectful and helpful. Check them out for your next barbecue or if you're just in the market for a protein, you'll probably be a customer for life.
