J & J Farms

J&J Farms is a tiny little local farmers market that is only open seasonally and closes during the summer from the end of June to the end of October. If you drive to fast down the road you could almost pass it is it that small, I know I am close when I see the Bedding Barn because it is right past that if you are going west on Hillsboro. They are eco-​friendly so you have to bring your own reusable shopping bag (s) as they do not use plastic. If you forget they sell their own for .99cents.

They only sell fruits, vegetables, breads, J&J farms homemade salsas, jams/​jelly and other locally made items like honey, cookies etc. That’s it! No meats or cheese or anything else. What they do sell is always locally grown (mostly) and the prices are unbelievable low! Fresh basil at Publix in those tiny plastic containers run around $ 2.99-$ 3.99 and at J&J you can get a huge bundle freshly cut, I might add, for only .99cents! I got 2lbs of plum tomatoes and paid around $ 2.80 when they run more than that per pound at the regular grocery store so you can see what I mean by low prices.
My recent visit was to grab two Jars of J&J Farms salsa’s that are locally made here in Deerfield Beach for my secret santa gift exchange for the Unilocal Elite Holiday Party. It needed to be an item that was locally made and the person I picked said on their profile that they loved tomatoes. I immediately thought of this place and bought a regular salsa, a salsa verde and since I love bears so much I added a tiny 2oz honey bear bottle of locally harvested palmetto honey. Happy to say he loved the gift and it turned out that salsa verde is his favorite! Definitely a cool little place to check out and worth stopping at if you are in the area and it’s always great to support local farmers.

A hidden gem! Super friendly staff, great selection of fruits and veggies. They even have some local baked artisan breads, local palmetto honey (best in the state) and a random collection of baked goods and treats. Like a total flashback to an early 1940’s fruit market, or like a small mid western shop. I wish there were more little shops like this.
I picked up 2 pineapples for 5 bucks I think, a bag of tangerines, some apples and a watermelon. They have two rows of veggies that looked really good too. I want to say the selection is less than the big stores, but it is a healthy selection, nothing exotic or crazy, just the fruits and veggies you actually use on a regular daily basis.
Bring your own reusable bag, or they can give you a used box to put your items into. A flashback to my childhood when this is how a local market used to be.
Will be back every weekend!

Great place.

Low prices. Great produce. Good variety. Also carries honey, breads and Glutino (gluten free) products. Also some small time bakery products. Miss them when they are closed.

I used to frequent here weekly when it was ‘family run’. That was a few years ago and the entire family is gone (cept for the owner, who you never see). When the last fam member, Kellen, left I stopped going. There’s nothing wrong with the place whatsoever. Awesome vibe when you get there. Awesome prices. Good quality fruits/​veggies. Being the hippy that i am, every time i went i would hike through the park directly behind J&Js…think its called Constitutional Park & Arboretum. But it is beautiful with exotic trees, an island with a tree, a sweet little waterfall. Just pure bliss. Great for yoga too. If I didnt live 8 miles away I would frequent more often, but I miss the family most.

Love this place! Great prices, great quality and variety of food. The people who work here have always been friendly and helpful!

I cannot complement this place enough. I came here skeptical because I heard the prices were very cheap and I figured that there must be some sort of downfall to it (not as good of quality, not as much etc.) The farmers market is located in a small little building, however they manage to pack a ton of fruits, vegetables and other assorted goodies in here. Always trust the locals because this place is a great little hole in the wall that you would otherwise pass up. The prices are hands-​down the best anywhere locally. I got a pint of strawberries for a 1.69 where everywhere else it was over 4 and the quality is just as good as any chain grocery store. The exact same loaf of bread I normally get at Winn-​Dixie for over 3.50 was a 1.50 here. I took my receipt after I left here to Winn-​Dixie and couldn’t find a single fruit or vegetable that was cheaper to buy at the grocery store. Also the options are a lot more plentiful, you can’t exactly find spaghetti squash or parsnips at Walmart can you? J&J farms is eco-​friendly so they always ask to please bring reusable bags and be sure to bring quite a few because I guarantee you will leave with them stuffed.
The only downside to this farmers market is they close during the summer as all the snowbirds travel back up north and sales aren’t as good. It sure stinks for us Southerners who are here all year round, but with all the money I saved from the rest of the year I’ll be just fine.
I most definitely recommend coming here because it is a thrill to see how much money you will save in the long run and how much more produce you can keep in your house for less.

We love this place! Great prices, greats location, great produce. we stop here every weekend. WE get both plants and produce here. The only downside to JJ I’d they close for a few months each year:(remember to bring your own bags!

Love to stop here for fresh fruit veggies herbs… and great bread selection. I just bought the most plump, sweetest Lychees I’ve had in awhile… very fresh!
On Hillsboro, just stop in… for the best selection, go early as it is right across from Century Village and they line up for it to open :)

This is THE place to get fresh produce in the Deerfield/​Boca area. Great prices which allow you to walk away with several
Pounds of fresh and local produce for only $ 10. Forget Publix forever.
Not that much organic food though. They also have some prepared foods like jellies, breads and olive oils. Their pumpkin butter was killer! They also sell plants and herbs.
They close for a little less than half of the year. So call before going. :)

Produce fresh for a great price! It won’t go bad in 48 hours like Walmart produce.
The ladies are friendly but never in a rush!
Please be patient because if she have to hire 4 people to work she will have to raise the price. ;)

There hasn’t been a review posted about J&J Farms in a while… I wonder why? Is it because we all know it’s so awesome, we need to keep it on the down low so it doesn’t get crazy busy? Are people just not aware of how awesome this place is? Perhaps they whiz by on Hillsboro and don’t see the signs that should say, «Awesome produce! Great prices!»
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. As I alluded to in my (attempt at being funny) intro, J&J has great produce at great prices, and is staffed with great people.
A few tips: There’s a minimum for credit/​debit card, so be mindful of that; they occasionally post coupon (s) on their website which you can print or simply show on your mobile device.

They have the best tomatoes anywhere around…
Great prices!

The original owner is gone and the quality has gone down, way down.

Awesome place. Quality produce, unbeatable prices (they crush publix prices), friendly staff and local ownership. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Only drawback is they close for a few months forcing locals to go through withdrawal.

Great prices, great fruit & veggies, great customer service. Some of their items are local, I like the idea of supporting local farmers. $ 1.99/pd for delicious cherries! So good!

This is a great place to go for fresh fruits and veggies at a GREAT price. Their employees make you feel welcome and are always willing to help. They also have herbs cheap as well, I have gotten a good handful of mint for less than a dollar. The ginger is great too!

If your wallet takes a hit every time you visit Publix, I whole-​heartedly suggest adding J & J Farms to your weekly/​daily grocery runs. This independently owned and operated farm stand/​store is refreshingly wholesome and no-​nonsense, with bins of fresh produce at exceptional prices.
Examples; this week I purchased Haas avocados for $.79/​each ($ 2/​each at Publix), red bell peppers for $.99/​Lb. ($ 3.99/Lb. at Publix) and locally grown grape tomatoes for $ 1.99 a pint.
There’s a nice variety, with an offering of local produce, particularly citrus fruits and juices. They receive (almost) daily shipments of bread, and offer olive oils, jams, honey and baked goods.
This is a family-​owned business, so the employees have a vested interest in the success of the store. There is one particular young man that we see nearly every time we visit; he’s always friendly and VERY fast and accurate as he rings us up.
It’s a nice feeling to spend your money at J&J, because we know it’s going to a local, hard-​working family.
