I've informed management over and over again that carrying produce with the name pictured is racistand offensive. They remove the product once in awhile and then put it right back. Why? The correct name for this product is makrut! Continuing to carry this product is a choice at this point. Very disappointing and frankly I don't feel safe shopping there anymore. Change the name post haste!

I’ve been coming to farmer joes for about 3 years now and I love it. Again everything with a lens, this place has great access to wine, and cheap local produce. If you’re looking for meat it’s a little pricey but pretty good quality. Packaged goods are definitely overpriced. There’s a great selection of Asian specific packaged goods which is pretty awesome. Wine selection is also bomber. Realize too because you’re getting pretty fresh organic produce, some of it has a shorter shelf life than Costco or Safeway. I love this store it’s pretty great as a main grocery store for the area.

Fresh, quality, sophisticated, I love this market. Farmer Joe’s has spices that I can’t find in Santa Rosa, California, so I travel for delicious spices to make a good dinner meal. As good as farm fresh. Perfect community market. Zucchini soup. Wonderful

Nice grocery store, good produce, clean, well organized, has informative signs, helpful and friendly staff. They also have lots of interesting products I don't see in normal grocery stores. This is definitely a store most people should go and check out.

A nice market full of good produce, a decent selection of non-perishables, and some bulk items. Definitely go here for coffee and produce. The meat counter prices are higher and the beer selection is average. Altogether, MUCH better than Whole Foods.
