Was very disappointed on the quality of the fresh vegies and fruits they were in very poor condition, mushy & half rotten. Some of the shelf items expired a few months back. I had gotten a nut mixed & as soon as I opened it, you could smell the bald moldy smell. I get that it's all free, but I did not expect months back expired food. The meats seem to be a good choice, though. I gave it 2 stars because they do have great customer service and are very helpful to explain how everything goes on your first visit. And a top notch on not letting people just cut in line while everyone waits their turn.

What a great resource to have in every community. Staff is super helpful and patient. From when they first opened until today I've noticed nothing but positive progression in their mission to provide to our community such a valuable resource. Y'all are very much appreciated and God Bless you.

I don't want more people knowing about this place. It's first come. Get a number have a seat and enjoy the great atmosphere they provide. There's no way to make this place any better than it already is. WELL DONE FIRST FRUITS.

I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to ALL THE STAFF that made these food items available to me. I’m so “HUMBLY THANKFUL”!

Today was my 2nd trip to First Fruit Market, It pays off big time to be the first group of ten people. I actually arrived at 10:45pm Thursday Night and slept in my car. I met the most amazing family that was infront of me!
They educated me about the rules of establishing your place in line…their knowledge was a blessing for me and my safety as well so THANK YOU FAMILY!

I was able to get so many varieties of veggies: fresh ->sweet potatoes, zucchini, red onion, green bell pepper, spinach, salad mixes/kits, huge bag of Brussels Sprouts, Roma Tomatoes, 3 different varieties of mushrooms
fruits: fresh-> orange juice, apple slices, oranges, nectarines, red raspberries
Protein: large package of chicken breast
Dairy: big container of cottage cheese and yogurt
Staples: tomato past, whole wheat thin slices bread, cereal

I was referred to First Fruit Market by my VA Nutritionist due to being put on an AntiInflammation Diet after being diagnosed with R.A. I need to avoid processed foods as much as possible and eat more fresh produce: veggies & fruit and chicken, fish, high protein items. This market checked all the boxes.

Again thanks to you all!

There is a limit on the amount of food you can get, and about half of the food is expired. However, they do have medium bottles of water.

If I could I would give 0 stars yes this place gives you free food but if you are not the first so many people you get turned away it's a waste of time gas and resources get there at 5 or 6 am

Beautiful building inside and out with a lot of friendly volunteers. Was guided through the process of getting free food items. First you have to get a # from the volunteer and come back at 11:30am. I was #20. I was greeted by the front desk person named Jeffrey. He has a sweet soul! Had to go into a big waiting room full of ppl but there was free coffee and Mexican sweet bread.
Be prepared to wait for your number to be called. They need all your information name birthday street address how many people in your home if you receive any type of government benefits. You have to type it in manually on a tablet? then you sit down until a basket is ready to pick your food. Remember 2 items of the same thing so there will be some left over for the next person. Fruits and veggies are unlimited?
Have fun!
