How Sweet It Is, Inc.

The only complaint I have is that I wanted one of everything! They had a massive local wine selection, local homemade ice cream, jarred EVERYTHING, homemade fudge, beautiful but inexpensive wreaths, and some beautiful mea and produce! We picked up some peaches, local scrapple, and the buffalo eggs. Buffalo eggs? Yes, pickled eggs in what I’m guessing is a buffalo style flavoring. I’m super excited to try everything. It all looked so good. Oh, they also have trees, plants, and a decent craft beer selection. Love it!

I’ve been here a few times and I’m sure the season and my timing are factors, but sometimes the produce is really good and sometimes not. I bought nuts (repacked into their containers) and they were not of the best quality, especially the mixed nuts which were going rancid. I thought most of their stuff was rather pricey. If I’m going to pay that much for produce, I’ll stick to the farmers markets around town. I may go back and update my review if it improves IMHO.

I went for a couple ever greens and a few plants for a new landscaping project at my house. I was impressed with the service and have been very pleased with everything I got from them. I also grabbed a container of cut watermelon for the road and it was gone before I got home :)
Made landscaping fun.

How Sweet It Is – much more than just a produce market. It’s also a nursery for plants large and small, as well as a place to purchase mulch, decorative stones, etc.
I am a huge fan of the produce market. Everything is very fresh and they have many local and organic choices also. If you want an idea of how good their produce is compared to others, look at bok choy at Giant and then compare to How Sweet It Is. That about sums it up.
How Sweet It Is, is probably the best place to buy crab in the Salisbury area. During the season, they have backfin, lump, jumbo lump, and claw available. The crab meat is very high quality with very little shell/​cartilage and «orange nuggets» to pick out. We just went prior to Thanksgiving, and they had pasteurized canned crab (the season is over…). We were skeptical, but we bought a can for crab dip anyway. The meat is from Cambridge and is from the same factory that they get their fresh crab. I am happy to say that this canned crab was surprisingly good — almost as good as fresh! They also sell soft crabs.
