I think people are doing it wrong. This is one of those hoity toity markets where many things available 5 miles down the road at Shop Rite are 60% cheaper. But it's small and well designed and gives an old world intimate feel. Kudos to the designer of the space - they know how to tug at people's emotions. But that's about all they could tug at from me here at commercial insurance and registration renewal week. Mandy ain't got it. $4.99 lb/tomatoes?? My local farm has a farm stand where they're $2/lb including heirlooms. Like - please bffr. Here's where this spot excels - the baked goods. Salted caramel chocolate chip cookies. The texture is DIVINE. Heaven sent. Easily a top 3 cookie in my lifetime. 9.99 for 5. And worth every penny. You don't need canned goods from here. I'd even argue you don't need meat from here. But you def need the cookies. read more

So I'm gliding along the highway and I didn't eat yet today. I see a cool looking barn grocery store and I wanted something healthier than fast food. So I dropped in. Homemade Italian. This was absolutely delicious. Real meats. Hearty sandwich. I was not hungry for dinner. $13.95 Walking around the inside of the store is beautiful. Even the bathroom is beautifully stained wood. Tons of great looking locally sourced products. Much larger than a "farm stand" fresh made sandwiches, salads and soups. But looks like everything you need is here. Lots of frozen meats. Lots of vegetables and fruits. Wish I wasn't an hour away. This feels like it would be at home in Lancaster PA. read more

First of all I don't know HOW anyone goes to Wawa across the street for a hoagie with Vacchiano's makes the best Italian farm fresh sandwiches. Really great selection of amazing meats and fresh produce. All kinds of nice spices and treats read more

I made the mistake of ordering some kielbasa from these crooks on 15 February, they have not sent it. They will not answer their phones. They will not answer their emails but yet they took my money a bunch of crooks. I could say a lot worse, but I'd probably be kicked off yelp read more

Place is great! Great meats, imported Italian products, fresh produce, cheeses, baked goods and they do a pig roast on the weekends! read more

Vacchiano Farm - Ribeye and Filet. - Farmers Market Near Me - Readington, New Jersey

Do not order the BBQ. Absolutely repulsive. Had to throw out a $20 plate of food. Watery Mac and cheese frozen sweet potatoes fries and the fattiest chewiest brisket. At first they gave me a plate that was literally entirely fat. I took it back in and then gave me a sloppy pile of stringy shit. Not even slabs of brisket. Unbelievable they try to serve food that horrible. read more

Great Specialty Store!! Well I have driven passed this farm store several times and decide to check it out. My curiosity got the best of me as always. I was pleasantly surprised!! It deceiving inside, it's so big and organized. Lots of great displays and I wanted to buy a little of everything. I swear .. yup I'm a impulse buyer. Of course, I walk right to the Tomahawk and it winked back at me. I walked away and it said you'd be back. Shrugged it off, see it staring back. I seen a friendly man and asked if he can assist me with A Tomahawk, he said she we have several prices. I'll tell you can't find it for the price I paid ANYWHERE!! read more

I stop by to pick up some apples and to see the outside of this market. I've driven by many times and I decided to stop by today. Did all sorts of pre-prepared dinners to go. I picked up a pumpkin soup! I also got some freshly made of mozzarella. I really enjoyed my apples so far. They were very sweet and beautiful !! let me also say that the baked goods were very tempting! I had to get a picture of the seasonal desserts which included turkey shaped cake! read more

Bought 2 premade pasta dishes (Penne Vodka and Fettuccine Alfredo) totaled almost $30. BOTH were bad rancid to the smell and taste the same NIGHT. What's worse is that they had sell by expiration dates for tomorrow or 3 days out- they would've literally had mold by then. This is the 3rd time out of maybe 12 times I've bought premade foods from here and this has happened. My mistake for trying again but this is a very unsafe operation here, and I am all for farm to table and small businesses, but the blatant disregard the checkout ladies have when bringing this up, and I can't be the only person experiencing this. Well the health department will be contacted tomorrow. I suggest more internal controls and some customer service when offering grocery items. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for sometime. This farm was previously called the Profeta Farms in Readington. It is now owned and operated by the Vacchiano Family who have several other locations and have been around since 1992. This place is a real working farm. Their Farmhouse Store and production facility is located on more than 300 acres right off Route 202 in Readington. The Vacchiano family humanely raise their own Beef, Lamb, Chickens, Ducks,and Traditional and Heritage Breed Turkeys. All their animals are free- range and get to roam freely and graze the way animals used to be able to. The animals are allowed to mature naturally, without the use of antibiotics, hormones or growth stimulants. All their animals are butchered humanely on the premises. I can tell you first hand that their Filet Mignon Roast my bf just bought us for Valentine's Day was the best I've ever had. It was so tender and lean and melted in my mouth, I loved every bite. I also bought their Broccoli Rabe Sausage which I made with their homemade Rigatoni Pasta. It was so full of flavor and went well with their homemade pasta. I also purchased their Boneless Chicken Breast which was also very good. Vacchiano Farms bottles and cans all their own tomatoes on the premises. They sell Baked Goods,Breads, Cheeses and Traditional Sausages along with Italian Sodas, Olive Oils, and some Specialty Items that are all imported from Italy. Their harvest over 15 acres of vegetables which are sold daily..Their known for their tomatoes and they grow over 25 varieties. In the summer they grow an array of fruits and berries. They have a nice Cheese Section. Their Provolone is custom cut and sold. They sell fresh Ricotta, and make homemade Mozzarella. They have their own Vineyards in the "Skyland's" region of NW Jersey. They sell wine at their Farmhouse Store. They have an amazing German Baker named Uber. He bakes everything fresh daily. Did I mention their amazing Cakes, Cookies, and Italian Pastries? To die for! If you want a custom cake it can be made (see pictures.) Vacchiano's will create and make any kind of cake with any kind of filling, you can bring them a photo and they'll make it. A lovely woman named JoAnne came up to me. We started talking and I found out she's the manager. She took me around this very well organized Farmhouse Store and was so welcoming. She even showed me their homemade Dog Food that they sell for only $2. It's totally raw, but can be cooked. In the Spring, Summer and Fall you can enjoy their delicious Sandwiches, Salads and Hot Entrees at their picnic tables which overlook the picturesque Vacchiano fields. The Vacchiano Family also sells their products at different Farmers Markets. This Store is very neat and organized. Everything here is beautifully displayed and is easy to find. There is handicapped parking and the store is wheelchair accessible. This is not your average farmhouse store. Everything here is high quality so expect to pay more but it's worth it. I really enjoyed my time here and I will definitely be returning. read more

Take out food was horrible. Turkey meatballs were tasteless with no seasoning. Tossed $20 package of meatballs. Pasta Fagioli had little flavor. Used tasteless cannolini beans rather than Borlata (cranberry) beans. Very little broth. Fried eggplant--so thin that it was like eating a breadcrumb sandwich. Could neither find nor taste eggplant. Again, no spice. Meats purchased were awesome. Poor quality limited to prepared foods. Beautiful store and good service. read more

Been driving past this place for years, finally was able to stop-in. Really nice looking place. Lots of things from which to choose. Lots of homemade choices for prepared meals, frozen meals, and baked goods. Very nice time walking around and buying stuff including homemade sauces. Got home, tried the pasta, chicken and broccoli rabe prepared dinner. It was vile. Simple ingredients but so sour it was as if vinegar (not an ingredient) was poured all over it. (Not past their stamped sell-by date, but clearly was spoiled(?)) Then made their chicken pot pie (90 minutes to cook)... Lots of crust and very bland. The desserts were also horrible. Chocolate mousse had that chalky taste, and the chocolate pound cake was dry and crumbly like a sponge cake. What a complete waste of money for us; we live to far to return it, so it all went into the trash bin. read more

Really bad look for this place; I decided to post a review here after they blocked me for complaining that I was over charged $5.00 on a chicken pot pie. Simply stated, a sign on the shelf under the product was posted as, '$20.00'..... at the register, the clerk charged me $25.00, and then begged off telling me that they forgot to change the sign: that is not only poor customer relations, but, it is illegal. will not go back here. read more

This is an Italian specialty market with an enormous range of vacuum-packed raw and cured meats like lamb, chicken, beef, pork, kielbasa and bratwurst. They make a big point of "minimally processed", not entirely certain what that means for raw meat. Sells fresh Jersey produce in the summer like corn, peaches and tomatoes. Bakes their own bread and pastries. Has a coffee bar and sells ice cream. Italian specialties include hard cheeses, dried pasta, canned vegetables and sweets. You could do almost all your food shopping here, the only thing I didn't see was fresh milk. Tomahawk steaks for $20/lb! I went for sausage instead, I thought $7/lb for smoked bratwurst was pretty reasonable. read more

I really feel bad about saying this but we purchased 3 item from the farm 2 of the items were terrible. We bought a contain of FULL SOUR pickles they tasted like dill pickles. They were very crisp but not FULL SOUR at all. Next purchase was ready to cook homemade EGGPLANT ROLLATINI we cooked them as suggested in the oven there was no flavor to them at all. The place was very pretty, people were very nice but I would never tell someone to buy their food there . read more

This is my go-to place for meat when I want something more upscale. The New York strip steaks are top quality and on par, if not better, than Whole Foods or Wegmans, which is saying a lot since both of those places have great steaks. The chicken is also very good, and there is a large variety of sausages, including a lamb mergueze, a chorizo, and bratwurst, among others, all from their farm. They also have an interesting variety of Italian packaged cookies and pastas. In the summer, I pick up a very good peach wine, which they make on their farm. I have also had their store made peach pie which was very good. This is an interesting, upscale, farm store whose owners also purvey products at the Summit Farmers' Market. read more

Cute little market which carried fresh produce and meats along with tasty pastries and pies. They also sold homemade pasta and pasta sauces. We bought the vodka sauce which was great on its own with the addition of only salt and pepper. read more

Love stopping in here on the way to PA, they have amazing pastries and desserts, and recently have taken them to a whole new level! They also have imported chocolates and jams but also homemade ice creams and pasta sauces and the variety is tremendous. Seems every time I go there they've added something new. Keep up the good work! read more

I was curious about this store. I went here when it was Profetta Farms and it wasn't too impressive.This is clearly a more interesting store. I didn't have a lot of time to check it out. I was only after some end of the season corn. I am familiar with Vachianos from being a one time regular at the Summit Farmers Market . Their produce is consistently good and they make good pot pies. read more

Ordered an antipasto tray for Thanksgiving. We had to throw it out almost immediately after opening it because the rotten meat and cheese smell was overwhelming. This place is so strange because everything looks delicious but the actual taste and quality are abysmal. read more

Discovered this place only recently. High quality homemade goods and grocery. Produce is lacking a bit. Surprisingly good homemade nj wine! We will be back regularly. read more

We love Vacchiano Farm! Whether it's some of their prepared foods or the amazing Tomahawk Steaks, it's our go to when we desire something special. Always high quality and worth the time to go there. read more

Tried the pasta bolognese , it was spoiled . Tried the turkey from the deli , on its way to being spoiled . Next will be the smoked pork chop if we're brave enough . read more

Great find, if you are in the area this place is worth the stop. Lots of prepared foods and a huge variety of jarred sauces. They have a little bit of everything, from fresh meats, fresh pasta, baked goods and even pizza dough. I'll be back. read more

Vacchiano Catering was a HUGE win! My family just hosted a thank you luncheon for a team of 20 nurses who had helped us with a family member who recently needed a lot of care. As the luncheon approached, we realized we had run out of time to cook as had originally been our plan. We took a chance and called Vacchiano's Catering! Boy, are we glad that we did! Perfectly grilled trays of flank steak with house made chimmichuri sauce, a giant tray of golden chicken cutlets, caprese salad stacks with fresh tomatoes and house made mozzarella, house made chips/salsa, melon with Proscuitto, potato salad, roasted peppers, a tray of deli cheese, 2 dozen Italian hoagie rolls, etc. This FEAST was fresh, delicious and beautifully packaged to go! The price was less than half what we were expecting to pay had we catered elsewhere and the lunch was a HUGE hit with our guests! THANK YOU VACCHIANO'S! You've been our family's "go to" for speciality steaks, Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas prime rib, etc for years, but now you will also be our GO TO caterer! read more

As much as we like coming here we stopped by today and noticed that everything shrunk and the prices got larger. We normally like the ricotta pie but you don't make it anymore. The girl said that's a shame we come all the way from North Jersey. Don't think we'll be stopping by anytime soon. read more

This is a great market to go for meat especially, but also for all kinds of other things. The meat selection is extensive and I believe most of it, if not all, is grass fed and raised on their own farms. Lots of veggies, again much of it is their own. Breads, pastries - all good. They have foccaccia flat breads, sort of like a pizza topped with all kinds of vegetables - makes a simple healthy dinner if you don't feel like cooking. Great spot for healthy local food and a great way to support local agriculture. Worth a trip! read more

Spent $14 for a burnt cherry pie. Looked okay on the top but was scorched and hard on the bottom. What a waste of money. Very pricey for most items. Won't go back and take the chance on another disaster. read more

Revisited after they completed renovations and happy to report they now have a large selection of items. Fresh meat, produce, and tons of baked good. I tried the crumb cake and took home a container of pickles. Both were fantastic. I look forward to returning to get a larger haul next time. read more

Love the produce. Haven't tried everything in the meat dept but as for the baked goods, the peach and mixed berry pie was a huge disappointment. No sugar, and probably no salt. We each had a piece but we are throwing the rest away. read more

I'm always eager to visit local farms and was very excited to check out the store. I went with high expectations which were somewhat not met. The store is well laid out, ok produce; the meats and sausages, chicken, etc. were properly packaged & neatly laid out. I was also eager to check out the bakery and after strolling around, settled on an apple cheese strudel and baguette. The $3.50 baguette was good, crispy crust, but was very disappointed in the $9 strudel which had a trace of apple filling and some cheese. read more

Definetly a good place. You have to watch for some of the meats they might be beyond the dates that are safe. The produce not so great. Eggs good deal and most meats quite good. Good specialty stuff Friendly staff and all in all a good choice read more
