Produce Junction

If you’ve never been to produce junction, they sell pre-​bagged fruits and veggies. They have 2 different counter one for fruits and one for veggies and the employees grab whatever you need. You need to be prepared. This is a cash only establishment and they add up the prices in there heads and it’s usually wrong.
I went to the fruit side today and the women behind the counter picked up the phone and was making a phone call as I walked up. Rude! So I just stood there and she said yes?! I placed my order. She grabbed the bags. When I got home I opened up the bags and one of my 2 grapefruit was bad and one of my 6 plums was bad.

The produce, plants and flowers are great and for great prices. BUT, customer service leaves much to be desired for… Lots of rudeness and lack of patience. I went there with my father, who is not familiar with their process, and the staff was extremely rude to him and didn’t bother to explain their process (they move quick and you have to know what you want when you get to the counter. They don’t take time to help you figure out what you want) and just asked curtly, «are you ready?» I stepped in to explain to my father and another staff person came to help. But, I think the other person came to help because he realized how rude the other person was. I should have explained it to my father in advance, but also, I should not have had to. Had it been any other person who went there for the first time, they would not have known what the process was. There are no signs posted and unless you stand there and observe, it’s hard to figure out. So, if you go, just know what you want before you get to the counter so you can rattle it off. Prices are posted above the counter. It’s only the prices that keep me going, but there’s a lot to say for customer service. They need more people behind the counter, so they could still move quickly and assist customers as needed.

Overall a very nice produce junction with good quality and cheap prices. You lose 2 stars because they have the rudest and nastiest counter help person ever. Shes a middle aged carribean/​islands lady. Yanks the money out of your hands, doesn’t say please or thank you and overcharges.

It’s definitely hit or miss with this place. Sometimes I make out great and other times not so much. I agree with the other reviewer… Sometimes the stuff is rotten or close to it. The bananas are never good. You definitely have to count the cost of the fruit and veggies yourself because sometimes they will overcharge you because their math is wrong. For thanksgiving, it’s good to purchase the veggies because you get a good deal of them for pretty cheap but you should check them for freshness.

When a garden fails there is always Produce Junction.
I have told my fellow gardeners that for years.
Tomatoes grown for canning sometimes do not Harvest as they should.
Animals eat more than their share of our green vegetables.
Root vegetables disappear before our eyes, dragged under the grounds.
It is all part of gardening.
That is where Produce Junction comes in.

No better place for fresh, affordable produce.

There are few things I enjoy more in life than fresh, succulent salads. Well, maybe fresh salads I made with vegetables I paid half the supermarket price for.
I eat more vegetables than mostly anyone I know, so I can never get out of there without spending at least $ 25. But usually never more than $ 40.
I usually get a huge box of veggies and fruit, but I can’t tell you individual prices of things because I just kind of gather what I want.
I like to make friends where ever I go regularly. This is easy to do at the produce junction.
They also have amazing deals on plants and flowers and sell rose petals by the bag for $ 1.00
Cash only. There is an atm on site and a wawa next door.

All the Produce Junctions are fabulous, but I am reviewing this one because it is closest to my parents’ house and therefore the one I’ve been to the most. Do you want large quantities of extremely fresh produce for cheap cheap cheap? Then go here! Before leaving town I stopped and got 5 lbs of bananas, 3 lbs of button mushrooms, 2 lbs of plum tomatoes, 5 lbs of yams, 2 quarts of strawberries, and 1 bunch of asparagus. Grand total? $ 12.50!!! Much better than the grocery store. You can also get fresh flowers for cheap and plants in season. The only downside is that some of the produce you cannot choose (it’s behind the counter and is given to you), but all in all I have never had a bad experience here.
