Love this place.  The produce is excellent and the prices are reasonable.  I go about once a week to get my produce.

Stopped by there this week. Was impressed.  Quality and price seem in line. And how could you not love a place that sells ice cream outside when you are leaving!!  They did a great job remaking this site in my opinion.

The produce looked fresh and so did the meat. Prices were good.

That being said, they did a terrible job utilizing space. Huge lot, huge building, but usable area isn't 1/2 what you'd expect.

Wish it was more expansive, both in size and product.

I heard that FFF was going to enlarge the University location.  Has anyone else heard that rumor?

^^^I haven't heard of that rumor, but that wouldn't be a bad idea. Given that it's so successful, it seems like it's constantly crowded.

It would be great if they did. I like the store but the shortages they have on products sometimes can be ridiculous. I went today at 10:30am and they were already out of ground turkey,  ground chuck, and the chicken breasts that were on sale.

Back at the time of construction I heard that they built the store the way they did so that they could expand it in the future. So I guess that rumor wouldn't be surprising.

I still haven't made it over there yet. Seems like I'm missing out on a real treat.

Hopefully true. It is needed.

Went there for the first time last weekend.

Very impressed. Clean, well organized, organic, efficient. I will definitely be back. Kudos.

I also was impressed by the place, I don't know if I would call it well laid out though.

Yes, it's built U-shaped with the capability of filling the open part if business warrants it. Every time I'm there, it's packed. But that's always on weekends.

I stop by there during the week and it's busy.  So it appears they are doing well.

Inside it kinda has the feel of and busy urban downtown market. It definitely could use some more room.
