Farm Fresh

i usually go pioneer cash and carry for grocery shopping. But that day pioneer didnt have stock of the brand of wheat flour u wanted. Hence i came here.
i couldn’t find the brand here, so i asked the salesman, he said they have it in the storage. I got two bags of the flour. i was in a hurry and hence without inspecting i bought them.
after coming home I found the best before date printed on the bag was just a day away.
beware before shopping here.

Farm fresh is rightly named all vegetables spices appear fresh. The prices are super cost effective. From $ 2000 silk sari to $.05 lemons they have everything. I did not bring a cooler but next time I will to purchase all the frozen foods such as parathas and rotis.
The Little India shops are amazing and impressive.
Best time to come is weekdays as on weekends the place is crowded and parking is mainly on street and its metered, these meters do accept credit cards.

I prefer this place to ambala cash and carry a block down. Buuut it’s always so cramped. There’s so many people here, no matter the time.
Complete with rude aunties who either refuse to move or push you in order to get by. A huge plus is the crowd of uncontrollable children.
This place has all my favorite Indian and British chocolates and snacks. And the products are reliable, as in, no bugs. Thank you.

So you’ve been thinking about making Indian food, but don’t know where to purchase what you need? This is the place!
Cash & Carry is the biggest Indian Market in Little India, but Farm Fresh feels cleaner and, while still busy (particularly on weekends), it is slightly less chaotic than Cash & Carry. Everyone once in a while I have to visit C&C, but if I have a choice, it’s Farm Fresh.
From frozen naan and parathas to ghee and coconut oil to jackfruit and curry leaves. this place carries it all. One thing you’ll note in this area is that most markets carry quite a few British items. Apparently colonialism also results in some random food preferences, such as chocolate cookies and candies.
This is the only place I’m aware of in Little India that will crack open your young coconut and give you a straw– yum! The coconuts are in the fresh produce area and when you check out you can ask one of the cashiers to have someone cut the top off.
Also, spices, lentils, nuts, dried fruits and such are plentiful. For those with gluten free allergies, this place has almost all of the flours you could imagine and then some. You may need to ask what type of flour you’re looking at in the store because the words are frequently in Gujarati or Hindi.
Overall, this is the best place to do your Indian food shopping. The cost of spices is significantly lower than other stores and better quality, too!

So in all honesty, I only shop at this place when I can’t deal with the chaos at Pioneer Cash & Carry.
They have the same products for the most part that I usually buy. The prices I would say are about the same as well. The only difference is they don’t have as much variety of that same product as their competitor across the street.
If you aren’t so picky on a certain brand and want a quieter place to shop — this is probably a great go to place to come buy your Indian groceries.

This is my first time coming to an Indian grocery store. The first thing that hit me was the smell. It was very strong, pungent and really hard to breathe. It is probably because of all the Indian spices. Once I tried to get over it, it was really surprise how small an Indian grocery store was and pricey. I thought the items at an Indian market would be cheaper than the Indian section at 99 Ranch but I was wrong. It wasn’t.
Another thing is parking garage is a death trap. You have to be super careful of the incoming cars. It is very narrow and hard to turn. If you think parking on the street would be better, the crap part about that is you have to pay for street parking now.

This shop is clean and well stocked, but not all that.
There’s a reason why this place isn’t as busy as Pioneer Cash and Carry. That’s the main reason why its so clean. I was shopping for a cream and this was the place that carried it. I really didn’t want to buy anything from here, because I was watched like a hawk. It was very uncomfortable checking out because both she and I knew her watching me instead of asking to help me was unacceptable. Since I went to at least 3 markets before here, I knew this was odd. But I purchased it anyway thinking I didn’t drive all this way… to turn back because somebody eyeballed me. I was not the least bit happy.
The prices on things are 50¢ higher on most of the beauty section. I went to several shops in the area to price things and shop is high.
If you are in the area for a particular item and can’t find it at the other places… come here. They do have British items and a slightly different selection. But this should be your last stop. Try all of the other markets first because there’s plenty around there!
Fortunately the cream didn’t work out, so I will be skipping this place and giving my business to Pioneer’s!

Smaller than the usual market I go to but seems cleaner and better stocked. I wanted to buy digestives cookies from England/​Ireland but the price was about $ 3.50 for a little package. I guess it had to walk all that way here. Produce section is well stocked and fresh but small. I wanted to buy kulfi but since no one seems to speak english here or seem to be helpful I never can find things in an Indian market. I always have to travel slowly down the aisles. Couldn’t find the kulfi.

I came in here looking for rosewater but was really impressed by the variety of ethnic foods they had — including a lot of UK stuff for very good prices. Its small and packed – use a basket, not a cart. Staff was helpful. I picked up a Chicken Tikka Masala mix for 1.95, can’t wait to make it. Traffic here is a nightmare on Saturdays.

Tiny market that carries Bru, HP sauce, Marmite and Vegemite. UK grocery selections at very low prices. They also carry bag spices of cardamon at insanely low prices. Perfect for brewing your own chai blend.

Best ever Indian Grocery Store.
Well organized, clean environment, friendly staff, awesome collection of variety of products.
We live in San Diego but go there often for indian groceries coz the rates are cheaper than in san diego.

So after dinner we strolled into Farm fresh to see what this store had to offer. It seemed to have all types of Indian food ingredients. I think restaurant owners go in here to get their ingredients to make their food, as we saw a 2 men stock as much as 2 shopping baskets could hold, buy them and walk down the street with them. We found some ice cream and thought it sounded good. I had the saffron. Very tasty. This store is not very big, yet is well stocked. When I was there it was very crowded. If your having dinner in the area, it’s interesting to just walk around and check out the local shops in the area, and this one should not be missed.

Farm Fresh is my go-​to when I need fresh curry leaves for making Indian Fish Curry at home. This market is clean and well-​organized and for the most part everyone is helpful if not super friendly. I love Indian cuisine but I do have to admit whenever I first step foot into the store, the perfume of all the different spices and food items hit me like a brick wall and it takes me awhile to get accustomed to it.

so with 24 hours until I fly back to England, I stumble into a heaven for English food… Cadburys, Walkers, Weetabix, Iron-​Bru, Tizer, Vimto, Ribena, Rowntrees, Lyons… I could go on
…and on.
Farm Fresh starts as a small Indian convenience store on the Artesia strip of many, but quickly asserts itself as the most Anglo-​esque of the lot, with all the best of British lined up against durum wheat supplies, spice libraries and ghee towers.
Ok, I’m going back to my Smarties now.

I’m surprised Farm Fresh hasn’t been reviewed yet.
Farm Fresh is a great little Indian grocery store and one of the cleanest, most organized and well-​stocked Indian stores I have ever been to, and let me tell you, I’ve been to a lot!
The selection here is amazing! From huge bags of rice, spice mixes, fresh vegetables, wheat flour, imported cookies and biscuits, shampoos and soaps, frozen foods, cooking implements and cooking oils and ghee, you’ll find everything you need for an Indian feast here. I saw the biggest bottle of ghee here that I have ever seen! A whole gallon of the beautiful, golden clarified butter! Mmmmmmm.
One amazing addition to this store is the section of Ayurvedic herbs. I found the herb Guggul here for $ 4.99 that places like Whole Foods charge $ 15.00 a bottle for. SWEET!
Definitely check this place out for your Indian cooking needs!
