Lemon Farm

One of the best things about Jackson Heights is a tiny, jam-​packed specialty foods store.
There no real door, just some old school hanging plastic butcher’s panels. There’s produce in crates outside as well as items indoors. For whatever reason, produce bought here always seems to taste better and hold up longer than from other places.
I cook and bake a fantastic amount. Not just your standard brownies and pot roasts but more like hijack my stovetop to make a wok burner and spend hours caressing and folding buttery sheets to make my own croissant.
My only gripe is that they mostly carry Greek olive oils. I’d love to see some specialty Italian and Californian olive oils added– even if it does end up costing a pretty penny.
They also have a surprising amount of cheeses and tons of different varieties. Also great amount of cured meats and sausages. You can find good, European style butter here as well as ridiculously large tubs of Nutella.
They have various types of roasted coffee here– which is proudly displayed behind the register.
If you are looking for a specific European speciality ingredient– you can probably find it here!

Some stuff here was pricey while others were a great deal. I bought my tortilla here because it was a good price. I bought other stuff as well. They have great healthy food choices, but you need to be willing to spend. I also noticed that when I was looking around they didn’t have any soy or almond milk. I also found the nuts they were selling was a little pricey. I did notice they had great selection of produce for a decent price.

Wow. Great produce. Good selection of other grocery inside and a very helpful kid called Diana at the cashier. Good bread too.

Almost every time I walk by this place from the train I check on their blackberries (I am an addict) & they always have specials on it. Also on blueberries and raspberries. I love that they carry different flavors of products such as basil and pesto hummus or pico de gallo tortilla chips. They sell pretty healthy things here, well that can be healthy depending how you make them. They are reasonably priced.
I appreciate that the female cashier is always really nice as well. thanks for supporting my berry craze without hurting my pockets. :)

This is the first time that I’ve been to the shop. It’s small, boutique and has good prices. The fruit selection is pretty good and they have a lot of unusual items that you can’t find in this part of queens. Te owners are a very sweet, and if you need something they will order it for you. Whenever I’m in the neighborhood I will be sure to stop here. Strawberries today two packages for a $ 3

From around the world, they have honey, olive oil, cheeses, butter, figs, candy, coffee, and chorizo. Need some walnuts, dried plums, and mangos? They are found here! How about some organic beans of all varieties? Also here. The shiitake mushrooms – they give me very vivid dreams!

This is a great little food store right down the block from us. Many choices packed nicely into a small space. Some organics, although I wish more of the fruits and vegetables were organic. Still, a really nice variety and selection of products at decent prices.
One minor complaint — it would be great if Lemon Farm could get a real door. Those plastic slats hit customers in the face, are challenging to navigate with an arm full of groceries, and do very little to keep the interior of the store warm in the winter or cool in the summer.
But even with the minor complaint, we really like this little place and are glad it opened shortly before we moved to the neighborhood. Very convenient and well-​stocked with things we like.

F@&!ing love this place… I do not know how they cram so many different little things in this place but i swear that each time I go in here I find something new that I get totally addicted to. Started off with buying some raspberries one day, found salmon bacon and brioche rolls the next time around… then I found this awesome sangiovese salami and great Italian cheese sticks for $ 1.all the applegate stuff i can throw a stick at. mini Jarlsberg cheeses. these amazing Belgian chocolate crisps that look like chips. French imported soda that looks like its in some professional wine bottle that you want to almost keep when its done (resisting hording instincts). its like it goes on and on. I have not even mentioned like ¼th of the things that I have found and became totally addicted to here… out of wanting to keep them all for myself I will not mention some of the said items… go find them yourself

I shop here frequently as I work in the area. They have an interesting selection of European canned and jarred products. The fruits and veggies are reasonably priced, although not organic (to my knowledge). The staff is very helpful if you need help reaching something high up. The do not harass you or stalk you as if you were shoplifting like at another Jackson Heights market that shall go unnamed…
The owners have recently added Artisanal cheeses and imported sliced meats to the store. There are Sophia brand products, lots of honey (raw and pasteurized) and a very nice chocolate selection. Of course, there is some junk (Kinder chocolate). They have bakery bread delivered daily in the rear of the store. I have purchased items there once that I have never encountered again (Mediterranean foods Multigrain chips or Naan bread). I guess the owner makes that call. Sabra hummus is always a good price here, too. The guys keep the store nice an neat, too!

This is a great produce/​specialty food store in my neighborhood. I usually shop here when I only have a few things to get or if I need something specific like flatbread for cheese.

With tons of fresh produce and groceries, I will be sure to visit again. I went into buy yogurt and walked out with nectarines, oranges, clementines, and more!

Although I still like coming to Lemon Farm. I was very disappointed to find lots of mold in one of the packaged Items. I’ll try to check more thoroughly next time or just purchase loose items.

This is a nice alternative to the larger grocery chains in my neighborhood. Whats really good about it is they have organic products, and in general higher quality items you won’t get at a Met supermarket for example. The produce is a little better too and its always good to have options especially when it comes to food, right? Today I saw something there I had never come across, Nuts soaked in honey, Like a spread. They had several brands, and though I didn’t purchase it because it was expensive, I’ll eventually break and get it. I may have missed this product at the regular supermarket all my life, I couldn’t tell you of course, but it looks amazing. I posted a picture for you to get an idea of what I’m talking about.
Glad to have this place is in near by.

their prices aren’t particularly fantastic but the selection is decent (their bottled drinks are expensive, city prices). cashier was friendly enough and they have this mega basket selection hanging from the ceiling. kitschy and cool! i like it!

This is a fantastic small gourmet grocery store in Jackson Heights. It’s tiny and gourmet but they have a very wide selection and the prices are comparable (or less!) than what you would pay for the same or similar products elsewhere. There is a huge selection of olive oils, lots of grains, jams, artisan bread, grains, cheese, and European candy. They even have the seasonal varieties of Ritter Sport bars! They also sell bulk coffee, it seems to be freshly roasted. This store is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood and I hope that they stick around.

I really like the colors in this market, i buy all mi produce and the quality is really good. Mnnn the cheese.

Not your average Jackson Heights corner grocery store.
This place looks pretty legit. I’m not a big fruit guy, but everytime I walk by this place, I feel like motorboating the watermelons, plums, peaches or whatever other delicious looking fruit is out front. They all look so good.
There’s also a good selection of nuts and dried fruits in the back. There’s also a lot of Turkish and European products like bread, olive oil and sauces that you don’t normally find corner stores in this area.
My only complaint is the following: the few times I’ve bought milk here, it has gone bad well before the expiration date on the container. I’m not sure what the issue is, but now I just have to keep buying milk at the key food down the block.

So far so good. They’ve been open for a few weeks and the produce still looks fresh and reasonably priced. The special part about this store, though, is all the European specialty items like the selection of tomato sauces and olives. They also carry fresh baby arugula, panko bread crumbs and a full range of nuts.
I wish they would add a nice selection of fresh bread, like, say, from Cannelle Patisserie. Also some higher end yogurt like Ronnybrook Farm would be great.

Beautiful produce, seedless watermelon for 49 cents a pound, nuts, olive oils, yogurts, pastas, the works, come on down!

This market just opened up where another one used to be. The other ones were nice, but I have to say this one has that special something going for it. Great looking produce, decent prices, and all sorts of Euro foods like chocolates, sauces, and others. Great addition to the neighborhood. I hope they are a big success!
