John's Farms

“ I like John's Farms for the Fresh fish and Brisket burger. I like some of their prepared salads at the deli too. There are items there that are not at other stores. Always plenty of parking. The employees are very friendly too, ”

“ Old standby in Plainview for reasonable priced veggies fruits and meats. Need to be sharp eyed to avoid the suspect produce and fruits especially when lower priced. Meat section is well stocked, only place I know where they package 3 meat ground for Italian meatballs (beef, veal, pork) along with all kinds of beef pork chicken and other proteins. Their sliced meat deli counter is also great. Tons a customers and lots of choices including those home made selections. When I'm not shopping at Costco (too big, bulk items does not fit everyone's pantry), stop and shop; I go here. ”

“ John's Farms is the areas direct line from NYC's seafood and produce points to Plainview. Its all hustle and bustle and super fast turnover of the freshest seafood, deli and ready to eat produce on the Island. Tucked into a small strip center on Old Country Rd, just west of Rt. 135, and easy stop off for anyone travelling near that or the LIE. Just drop down. You will see too many cars and wonder if you should drive into the busy parking lot. Everyone being patient as parking spots open up within a minute or so. But not often an empty one. Lol! Inside what was once a small fresh produce / fish market / deli has evolved most recently to having hot food right up front and also some super delicious bread in from Brooklyn, They also have bakery in from Francesco's so cookies, cake all there at the front to grab and go. The deli and seafood counters, you take a number, Saturday afternoons are the busiest so pick a mid week, or go early or late if time is key. Otherwise, just enjoy the best selection of seafood, deli that is always Long Island's freshest. Super values on grapes, tomatoes, berries, and all produce. Fruit is often ready to eat the same week. So don't let it sit. Imported Italian Cheese (sharp provolone) Deli (soppressata), Panettone, even Italian chocolate, candy, cookies at Christmas and Easter are here. They are in the window by the registers, so you sometimes have to run over while on line to get them.. it causes delays when I am on line and see new Panettones. Lol! At holiday time, I bring them to friends/family. They are an odd, somewhat dry spongy cake with different flavors, chocolate, lemon, hazelnut, or plain. They become a habit. If you really want to score a hit with sandwiches, grab a huge over-sized Italian Bastone bread in from Brooklyn, and a jar of roasted peppers to add to your deli items. Everyone asks me to get that bread again. And I do! If its there. Squeeze to see which is freshest.. they last only a few days. Use right away. Delicious Italian herbal tea can be found on the shelves at the bottom by the deli. An olive bar is near the deli. Number one, is the wild caught shrimp, jumbo shrimp, wild caught salmon, sea bass, wild caught anything else. Its there read the labels for which is which. Catfish sometimes appears and goes fast. Bluefish, Mussels, Clams, Scallops sea and bay sized, etc. They have flounder rolled with seafood stuffing you can just cover and bake easily. My mother gets her spring plants here every new season. Rows of colorful flowering plants even some tomato plants to kick off the season. She usually gets extra and gives a few to me or the neighbors. ”
