Adams has the best produce in the area outside of a farmstand. Prices for produce are still quite reasonable. Quality for all types of food and non-food items is consistantly high. Adams is maintaining its long-standing position as one of the Hudson Valley's leading purveyors of gourmet-quality foods and serious gardening supplies.

However, outside of the produce department, prices for many items have been increasing at an off-putting rate in the past decade. As time goes by, many of those long-standing bargains that everyone used to love (e.g. the store-made peanut butter) are starting to be "positioned" more like chi-chi ripoffs for people who have too much money to concern themselves over prices.

So, come for the produce. You won't be dissapponted. And if there is some hard-to-find specialty item such as an imported cheese, they will probably have it, albeit at a "you've got to be kidding me" price. If you can afford it, do all your shopping at Adams, and you will eat very well.
