I really appreciate Hopewell Farm because they have most of the Asian food products I need. I've found frozen Korean homemade noodles, dried anchovies, black bean paste, doenjang or Korean fermented soybean paste, kimchi, salted shrimp and kelp.
I also like how they have all these random fruits and vegetables, like Meyer lemons.
The one negative is that sometimes stuff stays on the shelves forever and the food goes bad. For instance, I see bottles of olive oil that have separated. I think it's because nobody buys these products.Listed in: The Fishkills

Hopewell Farm...or Golden Mango, as the cool kids call it, is a decent little grocery store in the old Grand Union space in Hopewell Junction. I go there about once a week to get most of my produce and occasionally meats. As others have said, check the produce carefully (I mean, you always should, regardless). MOST of the time everything is fresh but I have found some "meh" worthy foods once I brought them home and ate them. They have a nice variety of fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and other items like rice, sauces, marinades, etc. including regular kitchen staples. There is a full service deli, as well. They also have a lovely flower selection. The prices are great and much better than the A&P across the street. The staff are nice and helpful.
One of the downsides, however, is the horrible radio station they play in there, LOUDLY. K-104 or some crap like that. It's painful. They play that Britney Spears "Toxic" song a lot...which is possibly the worst song EVER recorded. The other downside is that their fish section tends to get so stinky where you can smell it as soon as you walk in. Kind of a turn off.
Overall, Hopewell Farm is a good place to stop into for good fresh produce and quick grocery shopping. Just be prepared to plug your nose and ears. -

Today was my first visit to Hopewell Farm. HF is located in an average Why Would I Go In There? shopping center so while I have driven by it on many occasions, it does not give off that "farm" feel despite the name so I never went in until I happened upon my fellow yelpers' reviews and made it a point to go check it out while in the area.
And I am glad I did. If you need Asian ingredients, this is the place for you. So much so that many of the products needed closer inspection to demystify their contents. Very exotic and above average.
Their Italian goods are also very strong though I could not partake being off the wheat, it was tempting!!! I was almost seduced by the various shapes of white pasta but I stood strong and gave into the various varieties of tea instead, such as the Green Tea with Roasted Brown Rice. Should be interesting...
We tried their sushi for lunch. It was just aight. Would not get it again since it did not wow me but there was nothing the matter with it.
I would not go out of my way to go to Hopewell Farm again unless I needed a particular HTF Asian ingredient but would probably stop there when in HJ again. I just have somewhere else closer by that I prefer instead.
UPDATE: The plums we got were awful (mealy and flavorless) and full of pesticide spray (no composting just straight to garbage, grrr) and the Concord Grapes were tasteless. In the future, we will stick to prepackaged items.Listed in: Where To Get It

When I first walked into Hopewell Farm, I fell in love. An entire store full of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish, fresh breads, a deli, a section for organic goods, AND a sushi bar?? You had me at grand opening.
This midsized grocery store also distinguishes itself from the rest with a wall of teas, british imports of chocolate and biscuits, and a large variety of Asian groceries.
The prices are ridunc - as in, so cheap, you feel like you're stealing from someone. And in this economy, cheap + fresh = sweeeet.
Fortunately/unfortunately, words gotten out and with only 3 cash registers and a multitude of shoppers, the checkout line (yes singular; its THAT small) bisects the store and can be oh-so-long and not just slightly inconvenient.
But honestly? Its worth it.Listed in: It's not Upstate if Metronorth…

Right in the cute little heart of Hopewell Junction, the Farm is a treat for the errand running cook. There is a huge display of exotic and home-grown fruits and veggies (I love me some Ugly Fruit) as well as the freshest seafood counter in the area. The deli has cheap Boar's Head meats and cheeses, not to mention a pretty good knish.
As small as the Hopewell Farm is, they also manage to have a sushi counter (!!) with, in my humble opinion, the best sushi in the county. Yeah, that's right, at a little sushi counter at your local market. There are pre-made lunch time packages, as well as specials and, of course, the you-name-it-he-'ll-roll-it method applies here. Absolute hands down good, fresh sushi.
With prices so cheap compared to the city, I am tempted to ditch Manhattan and come crawling back upstate where I can feast on sashimi and knishes all day with the cashiers. Tempting, I know. -

This little grocery store is a great find for up in the Hudson Valley if you need your Asian food ingredients and don't want to go down into the city and all that hassle. They have a nice selection of dry noodles, and a couple of fresh choices in their freezer. That freezer is chocked full of Asian foods such as dim sum, and cakes typical of Chinatown shops. The condiments are great and there are all types of soy sauce, hoisin, and more not to mention their very nice looking fresh veggies isle. They have some ethnic favorites, and regular stuff you'd find anywhere but it's all pretty reasonably priced. They also have a fresh fish market way in the back corner as well as a butcher counter (a bit less impressive to me, but that's just me!) In fact, I am going out to that shop now in search of the shirataki noodles I find too expensive in the grocery store.

I love Hopewell Farm! Bar-none the best fish available in the area, as fresh as it gets. Try the red snapper and wild Alaskan salmon, always delicious. I also enjoy the sushi/sashimi bar.
Great prices on fruits and vegetables, keep an eye however, as certain exotic fruits can sometimes be iffy.
There is also a great variety of ethnic Asian items, and a nice variety of Italian items at the deli.
Boar's Head coldcuts can be had for great prices, best in town. -

For this area they have a pretty good selection of asian goods. But really why I went here when I live in Hopewell was the fruit. They always had the freshest fruit. Tends to be crowded since I guess everyone knows this. It's very convenient since you can get all your fruit, veggies, deli meats and even sushi here. (Sushi is just ok.) The prices are really good here, better than the A+P across the street.

This market sells fresh vegetables, has a deli counter, and fresh fish. We do go there for the vegetables, but have since stopped going to the deli part. After buying some cheese, both my wife and I noticed the same musty smell coming from all the different cheeses we purchased. Yuk. That was it. No more deli. We still do go there to buy veggies, but shop carefully. You can get some spoilers here, for sure.
