Pipkin's Fruit & Vegetable Market

I'd been wanting to check this place out and finally made it a couple weeks before Halloween. We have a tradition of eating dinner in a pumpkin every fall, that is not in a jack o'lantern pumpkin, but in a pie/sugar pumpkin that's edible. Try to find those at the grocery store and it's a no go.We not only found the right pumpkin at Pipkin's, but tons of different squash (edible and decorative;) the Asian pears that are never in stock at Kroger; plus all kinds of wild mushrooms. Besides lots of produce, Pipkin's also has a ton of decorative items outside, plus bread and desserts from local businesses, unique salad dressings, vinegars, pickled and fermented items, candies, spices, and other items.

A very nice little market. As the name suggests, the central section of the store is dedicated to a great selection of produce. Samples of some of the fruits and veggies were available too. Other grocery store products are available, and it's nice to see the many local options of each available, including breads and baked goods, ice cream, and more. They even carry the Kindervelt soup mix. Across the paved parking lot from the market is a nice garden center full of lovely plants and flowers.

Cute, small and expensive. It's been awhile since I've stopped in here and decided to check out their fruits & vegetables and the garden center. I picked up a couple of herbs and then grocery shopped. Most everything is much higher than the chain stores, even for mass produced shelf products. But the produce was better quality and I found a few speciality items I don't find in big box stores. Also, it was nice to shop in a calm store - without tons of people, loud music and lots of flickering lights.

Cute flower and plant market! I stopped on my way from Blue Ash to downtown Cincy. I was surprised to see they also had produce inside. I got a brass flower for garden decor.

Good selection of produce and they have great specials each week. I like to stop in here if I need to grab something quick and I don't want to deal with Kroger or another larger grocery store. Neighborhood small business vibe and everyone is friendly.

Love this place because of all the chimes they have on display. This is a wonderful place to shop for gifts with a huge selection for one's budget!I seem to only buy gifts here:) They have all been well received! Nice staff!

Ooo I found the Newtown Farm Market of the north! I'm obsessed. An amazing selection of not only a wide variety of quality (!) produce (zi came during apple season and was so pleased with their offerings!) but also a great assortment of packaged goods too. As if that isn't reason enough to stop by... they have an amazing selection of freshly baked Breadsmith and Sixteen Bricks breads. And of course they also have plants and garden accessories.

Cute little mom and pop style market, and garden center. I had such high hopes for my visit. The market is only about half produce. I was expecting the produce to be more local. The remaining portion of the market is other grocery items. Many items are organic or healty. Other items are grocery staples. There is a small selection of dairy and meat. Prices are on the high side. Many of the same items may be purchased at chain grocery stores for less. The garden center is outside. With all the signs about the garden center sale, I was expecting a much larger disscount. I'm sure the garden center is beautiful in the Spring and Summer. There were some gorgeous displays that did not appear to be for sale.I received absolutely no customer service during my visit. I passed by three employees. Not a single person greeted me. I expect to be ignored in a grocery store like Kroger. Customer service is what keeps customers coming back to small businesses such as this. Between the higher prices, and the lack of customer service, I left generally disappointed.

I love having Pipkin's nearby!! It's great to be able to pick up a few needed fruits and veggies quickly. I am always happy with the selection and freshness! Plus, they have much more than fruits & veggies! They have breads, staples, local baked goods, and dairy items. You can even find local meats! During the summer, I enjoy browsing in the garden area. I always buy my herb plants here, and I like to look at all the wonderful pottery! In the fall, near the end of the growing season they have good sales too!!

Very nice store and people were very friendly and helpful. Produce is excellent and would not buy from anyone else.
