Old Macdonald’s Farmers Market

Fresh fruits, wheat breads, dairy products at best price and friendly staff. Parking ain’t a problem.

What a joke of a grocery store. It’s sort of like a 7 – 11 truck stop grocery store. They sell rotten cherries for 99c a pound.

About 95 percent of the time I’ve gotten my watermelons here, they are super sweet and good. I have never gone anywhere else for my watermelons in the summer. Love it!
It’s such a beautiful and quaint store, love coming here for other little indulgences.

What a place! Went there to find a great appetizer and Dawn, who is so passionate, about good food, recommended a melt-​in-​your mouth cheese called Le Delice Mon Sire and suggested serving it with a topping of fig spread on sea salt crackers. It’s now our favorite appetizer and my wife’s favorite store. This place is the real deal for an old world shopping experience with the best of the best. And, the staff is both helpful and knowledgable. What a combination!

Too expensive, no staff to help. Friendly people, all one of the them. Young kids in their early 20s. Well stocked, fresh produce, but $ 6.49 for 2 handfuls of peanuts? $ 7 for a small tub of guacamole?

This store is small but well stocked with produce and dairy/​some meats.
One of the only places in the area you can buy raw goats milk.
Which is of course one of the healthiest most delicious foods you can get.
Also, it’s called old Macdonalds, and the building actually used to be a McDonald’s fast food place, which is just funny, and as a «real food» enthusiast I find a drive thru being replaced by a farmers market to be very encouraging.
The people there are nice and helpful, everyone should support this local store and make sure it stays in business.
We need more farm-​to-​customer establishments around here.
Support your local farmers!

I came here on a quest… for some locally grown cage free organic eggs. I watched a youtube video and I was inspired to see if there was really a difference in taste with cage free eggs. This place has a cute local feel but it is pretty small with limited selection. Pricing isnt that bad for what it is so if you want to avoid all those chains and keep it low key, this place would be good for getting a few select items. They have duck eggs that are way more expensive. I was trying to choose between $ 3.99 cage free but not organic eggs or half dozen organic eggs that werent cage free. BenjimanTV said to get cage free and if you can, do organic but since I didnt have the option, I got the dozen. My friend and I were gonna eat it so we would defs have leftovers. The cage free scrambled eggs ended up being delicious! You really can taste the difference :) They are twice as expensive as regular eggs but the way I think about it is you pay over $ 10 for an omelette at a restaurant so it seems like you are getting a deal when you buy it locally. I also got a large organic avocado for $ 1.99 and that thing was huge and so smoooth. Loved it. Other than that, I dont think I would have a need to come out here. They do sell organic and cage free eggs at supermarkets but it was nice to support a local place… one step closer to the farm. You will see a small basket with singular eggs you can get for fifty cents each. Oh. We were also searching for bacon but it didnt look local enough so we went to a farmers market instead. They also didnt have those local blend juices here. All good though.

I’m crazy for cherries! I’m not a big fan of warmer weather but I look forward to summer because of cherries.
Adam D will drive with me to where I can drown in cherries and be happily content. My man knows me:)
This weekend searching for cherries and farmers market on the Unilocal app led us to this place. E.I.E.I.O! Score! They’re not cheap but they’re organic and so crunchy fresh! Rainier is your cherry of choice? Check! Bing? Check!
Now we don’t have to drive past Gilroy to have delicious cherries. They do sell other mouth watering fruits too btw. I’m just really partial to cherries!
Stop by. Parking is super easy! Uncluttered arrangement just made me like this place even better.
And what is up with the name? Isn’t it super cute? e.i.e.i.o!

Still have mixed feelings about this place. They carry Straus dairy products (Greek yogurt, yogurt, milk, ice cream!), which is a plus… but their soft cheeses are really suspect. The turnover on the items in the dairy case seems to be really low, so there are often products that are at, near, or even beyond their «sell by» date that continue to sit on the shelves. Also, since the dairy case is open front, the products at the front are warmer than the ones in the back… I assume they’re still maintained at a safe temperature, but it does make me skeptical.

I have purchased my produce from Old Macdonald’s Farmers Market numerous times and have generally been very pleased. My experience this visit was quite disappointing. The young lady that rang me up seemed very new and timid, so I overlooked her lack of knowledge with the cost of the items I was purchasing. However, that doesn’t excuse her charging me the wrong (more expensive) price for a couple of items that I purchased. Additionally, my total was $ 16.49, so I gave her $ 20.49 in order to get an even $ 4.00 back. When she handed me my change she gave me only $ 3.51. When I told her that my change should be an even $ 4.00 she was very confused. My greatest qualm with anyone being a cashier is their inability to do simple math. I would not boycott this place, but I would certainly consider speaking with the manager if this happens again.

Stumbled on this place yesterday looking for a grocery store in an unfamiliar part of town. So pleasantly surprised by the freshness and variety! The avocados were perfectly ripe and delicious, as well as the other items I purchased.
Strawberries were $ 2.50 for a 2 pint box (on sale for the same price at Savemart, as they are in-​season)
Cilantro for $ 0.79 ea
Avocados for $ 0.89 ea
Green Bell Pepper for $ 1 ea (on sale)
Blackberries for $ 2.50
Zucchini 5/​$ 1 (on sale and a little bruised, but made a great addition to dinner)
House-​made salsa for $ 5 a pint
Although the salsa was a bit more expensive than I would normally buy, it is very tasty and definitely worth the convenience.
The selection of creams, milks, butter, and cheese was pretty impressive for a store that size.
Cheaper than or on par with the regular grocery store… and the staff was so friendly!
They take all major credit cards.

With this amazingly warm weather we’ve had this week I’ve been craving BBQ. So I decided to light the grill and toss on some ribs. So what does that have to do with a local fresh vegetable stand? Corn! Nothing better than grilled corn with ribs.
I first headed to the Campbell farmers market but found zero corn. Well of course cuz it’s winter still duh! All the chain grocery stores only have that pe– packaged flavorless yuck and that’s when Old McDonalds popped in my head!
Super cute «farm stand» in West San Jose of Saratoga Ave. and Williams. I’ve driven by this place a hindered times and kept telling myself I need to stop there! Well today I did and loved it. Not only do they have great fresh produce, but local bottled goods, gourmet cheeses and pastas, baked goods and fresh peanut butter.
I spent a half hour just looking at all the yummy options. And guess what? They had fresh corn! Woohoo. I grabbed some corn, half a cantaloupe, some spicy cheese spread for later in the week, a bottle of Sam’s BBQ sauce for the ribs and some multi colored carrots for out corned beef feast later in the week.
I’ll absolutely be back.

Good products, nice people.
A bit pricey but… you get what you pay for, quality, and that is why I like them.
I also like the play on words for the name since the place used to be a Micky D’s.

Going to edit my review after eating my eggs, but first yes! CAGE FREE EGGS in San Jose! FINALLY! There are Glaums, Alexandre kids eggs, Juddy’s and one other (will rewrite the name after I try them all). Alexandre kids were close to $ 9, the most I have ever paid for eggs in my life (hope the chickens are happy!). half a Dozen Judy’s was $ 2.99 and the other eggs were 3.99. I was not brave enough to try the brown fertilized eggs. Though I’m sure they are no different.
Second, yes they do sell Clarevale Raw milk at around $ 5+ and you have to tack on a $ 1.50 deposit. As well as Straus Cream. I had a bad reaction to Raw milk once so I stick with Humboldt Farms milk that you can get in Grocery outlet for only $ 3.6+
The produce looks fresh and if only I lived closer! I urge you to visit and also go to the nearby japanese Mitsuya and Daiso as well!
But the cashier was super friendly and this place is a must go! Make the trip out if you can. And damn, I forgot to the get the honey! *sad hamster*

OH MYYY! I’m upgrading this place to 5 STARS! An abundance of Gluten Free items, LOCAL honey, grassfed beef, Mary’s Chicken, organic produce, a specialty items list to long to mention here (Goose Eggs!) The addition of tastings and cooking events is awesome! There is an occasional vendor in the parking lot (Tri-​tip! yes please you just saved dinner)
On personal note; the owners have HUGE hearts. They graciously donated fresh fruit to our local little league snack shack. After a long ball game having healthy food choices available to our kids is a BIG deal to our family. I have MUCH LOVE for our «corner store»

A seven-​day-​a-​week farmer’s market!
It’s been two and a half year since my first visit and I’m still a happy customer. The produce is all locally grown, washed, and always fresh. The owners and staff are so friendly.
Try:
Almond butter
Carr’s Whole Wheat Crackers
Apples
Apricot or raspberry fruit bars
Cashews
Alexandre Kids free range eggs
Mary’s free range chicken
Blueberry flax granola cereal
I could spend well over an hour shopping in this cute little grocery store.

This place is going to be AWESOME by the end of the summer! They offer amazing produce prices, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, and convenient location. Apparently they are working on their offerings, but here’s why it’s 3 stars now.
Here’s what currently rocks and stands out:
–Undercuts Whole Foods on organic produce pricing (same great quality)
–Excellent presentation and selection of specialty foods
–Great prices and selection on non-​organic produce
Here’s what needs improvement:
–There needs to be MORE organic produce. They have a little less than a dozen organic offerings now, but they would get me (and my friends) shopping there daily if they had more stone fruit organics and green/​veggie organics.
–Prices on specialty foods are a little pricey… if that could go down by about 15%, Old Mac’s would be my go-​to for EVERYTHING.
Looking forward to updating this review in a month or two, and hopefully will be 5 stars! Let’s make this happen Old Mac’s!

I make it a point to stop in whenever I’m in the area. They have great local foods and specialty foods that really inspire me to cook! It’s like an episode of Chopped at home any time I’ve picked up a fresh, random ingredient or two, be it at a farmers market or specialty store. This place is a great combination of the two!
They’re a little pricey on the staples, but I understand that given the area. I still buy everything I can use for a meal to save a stop somewhere else. Cool place, worth checking out!
Pepper Plant Sauce = YES!
Habanero, Chunky Garlic, and Original!

One fine Sunday, I saw my dad walking down the stairs, dressed, undoubtedly out on his way to go somewhere. I asked him, «WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!» and he said, «Farmers market.» I replied, «OOOH, I LOVE Farmers Markets!!!» And he quickly snapped, «No you don’t.»
=(
Since my dad does not like me as his farmers market companion, I do not mind going by myself whenever I see one. I was in the area and Unilocaled this place. I thought it was just on certain days, but NOPE, It’s a legit looking farmers market that is open every day! The place is clean and the produce is fresh. They have cheese and hummus and honey from local businesses, and also have some groceries you can find in the organic aisle at Safeway. To top it off, the people there are super friendly.

I love this grocery. The produce is just perfect — Californian produce, beautiful fresh fruits and veggies.
Immaculate, clean shop.
A lot of speciality hand made foods — starting with Almond butter, local honey, wonderful cheese to jams and jellies.
This is the best produce store around.
