Sparacio Strawberry Farm

What a place. It’s a shame Joy only had a so-​so experience. From my dealings with them the farm market is wonderful. Almost always have fresh picked produce (about as good as it gets with these markets and definitely better than shoprite) and always have great quality stuff. The strawberries are the best. They’re huge and the sweetest my wife and I have ever had. Always look forward to may each year. keep up the good work guys.

What can I say about Sparacio’s? This place frustrates me immensely. It’s a high profile farmer’s market that everyone in the area knows about because of it’s location on a busy thoroughfare. But I don’t think that Sparacio’s deserves half the attention that it gets. They are, obviously, most famous for the strawberries, although that is not all they sell. They have your usual compliment of fruits and vegetables. I also appreciate the post cards they send out to let you know when the strawberries come in season, since they’re at the mercy of the elements. What I don’t appreciate are their prices. This year strawberries are up to $ 4.75 a quart, and the ones coming in from California are still selling for $ 2.50 a quart… can’t we find some middle ground people!!! And to be frank, although Sparacio’s strawberries LOOK beautiful and have a nice texture, they’re not really that sweet, and hence not worth the money. They do have limited U-​Pick to save some money, but I know about another (SECRET place I’m NOT telling about) where I can get the U-​picks cheaper. Sorry Unilocal
