    Not very big, some produce (like potatoes) are not in the best condition, but overall quality is not bad, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I might still prefer market basket a little more but won't hesitate to come back here.

    Pretty pricey, and someone sits at the front of the store correcting your purchases if you do not realize you didn't choose an Organic option. Pennypinching, over a dollar, when everything is already expensive. Just let it go. Hard to find basic staples here affordably but it's the only place nearby where I work.

    Great long-time courteous employees, upscale, always immaculate, with particularly good good deli, meat, prepared food & produce departments. Gripes: Altho hot chicken wings were really scrumptious, the store mystifyingly changed offerings -- & STILL miss the old, honey stung drummies that were the BEST - what is available now is not nearly as delightful. Ditto, been little disappointed in the generic-turned bakery products - While in-store baked bagels are still nice, years' past baked goods were far superior -- half-moons, eclairs, cakes all tasted home-made good, as opposed to the processed-food tasting. For more than a decade ordered birthday cakes from here, they were as good as a free-standing indep bakery. Baked goods are just not as qualitative, not sure why, but sure wish the store would address. Eclairs are the only offering that still tastes worth eating the calories ;) Dairy yogurt & ice cream selection are not tremendous, probably due to the relatively small store size. The store does seem to try & offer items that are less easily found elsewhere, which is nice. I loved the delicious frozen ravioli & was willing to travel just to buy them, but they're no longer available & it's a shame -- Prices are definitely on the higher side, but then sale prices can be super & offset the other spending. In many departments, store brand items are economical options i.e. plastic bags & good quality, so painless swap out. Produce is reliably excellent -wherever the store sources their veggies (with the exception of white mushrooms, which tend to disappoint, being pre-packaged & have short shelf-life) it's top notch. I prefer to buy green beans, green peppers & celery here, the stuff is that much better. A well-deserved shout out to the long-time produce manager & his crew for years of healthy eating options! POST-COVID 2025 UPDATE: Everything I love about this store as a whole, workers, cleanliness, produce remain top-notch! Alas, their originally to-die-for honey stung drummies never returned & their alter offerings are just meh. This is no longer my go-to for salad bar & hot food offerings --- perhaps, due to the times...? While salads & such are available pre-packaged, with a relatively high price point wish there was a way to order what ingredients I prefer, so not wasting food & money tossing components not fond of. Ditto on the dressings. The bakery, too, seems to have suffered a continued decline -- still clean & staffed with lovely employees, but the pricey half-moons bought as a treat tasted like typical cheap, commercial /canned frosting, not something store-made & yummy. Can't help miss the quality delicacies that used to be available...Cheesecake from the frozen food aisle tastes better & has a better consistency than the heavy cheesecake selection from the bakery. Luckily, the breads seem more fresh & appealing, but as someone that used to splurge on certain dessert items, can't help feel bit nostalgic for Sudbury's past baked goods, which were a cut above large grocery chain cheap, heavily processed, baked goods. Bottom line, the good news is the things probably shouldn't be eating are the ones I no longer shop due to lackluster taste, freshness & ingredients. Apparently, the universe is telling me to stock up on fruits, veggies & non-processed proteins & LUCKILY this is where Sudbury still shines.

    Pricing is very high ! It’s one of the only places to shop in town . Very clean but the meats not always fresh . Most times I need to use the same day .

    Sudbury Farms is a clean well-stocked store that always has what I'm looking for, though it's not so big that I have to walk miles within the store! They have excellent, fresh produce and meats, a very tasty bakery, and a large variety of hot prepared foods, including a buffet-style by-the-pound section. The staff is always smilI ng and helpful! The perfect place for a quick stop to pick up an item or two, or to do your full weekly grocery shop!
