The Boys Farmers Market (Delray Beach)
***** The Boys Farmers Market.
Jeff Eats first “reviewed” The Boys Farmers Market on 5/6/2009.
That review is reprinted below.
It is now some 5 1/2 years later- and I just wanted to tell -new as well as old- Jeff Eats’ readers that I LOVE this joint-and if you live or work anywhere-near The Boys Farmers Market make it your business to shop there…trust me, you will be thrilled that you did!

***** The Boys Farmers Market, 14378 Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484 (561) 496-8123.
If you can “handle” its parking-lot…with senior citizens “backing in and backing out” non-stop…The Boys Farmers Market is an absolutely great place to shop for fruits, fresh squeezed juices, vegetables, baked goods, cheeses, wines, candies, seafood, meats, coffees and prepared chicken/seafood/meat dishes.
Just guessing here, but The Boys’ probably has something like 30,000 square feet of indoor space jammed with top quality FOOD. All the free samples that you’d like…and everything sold, runs circles around joints like Publix, Winn Dixie and Albertsons, not to mention-probably cheaper.
My family has been shopping at The Boys Farmers Market for years…and I have been amazed by two things…namely, that we have never been involved in a fender-bender in its parking lot & the great stuff that it sells.
The Boys has its own bakery, squeezes its own juices and prepares its own “take out” food. This joint is an absolute-winner. If you live in the Delray Beach area, you probably already know about The Boys…for those of you who don’t, you got to go shopping there…just be careful in the parking lot.
The Boys Farmers Market is open 7 days a week.

The Boys is a fabulous market. Great selection. Cheap prices. I’m in there once a week.
I’ve lived in Boca for over 40 years.
Haven’t found a better market anywhere in the state.
Jeff, we moved to Florida in 1992 when the Boys had a tent on Linton Blvd. West of Jog Road. I had been a steady customer since until about 2 months ago after what my wife and I both felt were a strong drop off in quality. Haven’t found anything to replace them but our last two outings especially made us very unhappy.
Shelly H:
Just had a chance to read your comments.
Jeff Eats last visit to The Boys was about 2 hours ago…from what I saw everything was very strong, the joint was mobbed and the parking lot was as dangerous as ever.
Thanks for reading…
Ahh The Boys. It’s the best and the worst all wrapped up into one.
The Boys is the best.
Can’t think of a better market.
Nobody comes close to beating The Boys.
Great market.
Best prices on fresh squeezed juices.
I like the boys market, the only problem is when its so crowded you cant move about and all it takes I one person with a wagon to stop and talk or stare and there is no way around. so how do they pass fire laws , if something serious happened you’ll never get out or be trampled in the process. I guess they contribute a lot of money to police and fire marshals.
Fruits, vegetables, juices definitely the best.
Its prepared foods and bakery just passable.
Their fruits can’t be beat.
Was there this afternoon around 4:15.
Jammed.
Nobody has better fruits and vegetables.
Jeff,
New to the area. Just moved into Valencia Cove a month or so ago. A bit of a drive but The Boys is worth the trip. Thanks for the recommendation.
Great market.
Can’t beat its fruits, vegetables, juices, bakery, seafood, prepared foods.
They make delicious teriyaki wings.
Visiting from New Orleans.
Stumbled onto your site and found The Boys.
Wow!
What a great store.
Bought all kinds of cakes and pastries for my relatives who live in Boca’s Broken Sound Country Club.
Went this morning at 8:30am.
Wasn’t jammed but plenty of people there for a store that had just opened for the day.
Bought fresh orange, grapefruit and tangerine juice. Can’t beat The Boys prices.
First visit.
Read about The Boys here.
All I can say is Wow!
What a terrific market.
Picked up some rugalah and it was dry and bland. Waste of money.
Got there today at 5pm. Store closes at 5:30pm. Jammed with people.
What a gold mine.
Best store going. Fruits, vegetables, juices, bakery, you name it.
Heard about Boys on Jeff Eats.
We live in Deerfield Beach and were pretty satisfied with Joseph’s and Doris. Went to Boys this morning and all I can say is WOW. Terrific place to shop and we will be back real soon.
Best market in south Florida.
Best place for fruits, vegetables, baked goods, prepared foods.
Love shopping there but sometimes that parking lot is Nutsville.
Just picked up holiday fruit platter and Passover cakes and pastries.
Terrific market.
Jeff,
Have been shopping there for years.
Today I picked up 1 1/2 lb of bbq beef ribs for $10.99 and they were terrific.
Love this store.
They make delicious bbq pork ribs. Also just picked some teriyaki grilled wings.
Best market around. Nobody does it better.
Love this market. Best prices. Great selection. Horrendous parking lot.
You folks got to try their tuna and chicken salads. Both are delicious.
This market is a special store.
Try it just once and you will become a steady customer.
Bought a large watermelon for $4.99 at The Boys. Same melon at Publix is going for $8.99. You can go to Publix for your fruits and vegetables, I’ll get double for the same money at The Boys and it’s better stuff.
They make terrific chocolate babka and chocolate and cinnamon rugalah.
Great place to buy FRESH juice for cheap money.
First time there this morning and all I can say is that the selection and prices are terrific. The parking lot is a whole other story.
If you live in the area and don’t shop at The Boys you are missing out on great stuff at great prices.
They make great empanadas and meat egg rolls.
Their babka is delicious and their teriyaki chicken wings are sensational.
I love their stuffed cabbage.
They have terrific empanadas.
Love their prepared foods.
I can’t think of a better stuffed cabbage in Florida.
Best market around.
Just watch yourself in the parking lot.
Jeff,
Based on meeting you last week and your recommendation my wife and I tried Boys yesterday. Great market with terrific products and prices. Parking was a bit dicey but your heads up on that as well helped a lot.
Great find.
Thank you very much.
Why anyone who lives in the area would go anywhere else for their fruits, juices, vegetables and baked goods is beyond me.
Just moved to Delray Beach after having lived in Miami for 30 years. Heard about Boys from Jeffeats.com. Went today for first time and all I can say is wow!!! Great store with top food, great service and prices.
Love this place. Best place for almost everything.
Love their prepared foods.
There BBQ wings are delicious.
They make delicious stuffed cabbage.
Today at 3pm the joint was like a freaking nut house. More people and cars than you can imagine. Still shopped because their fruits, vegetables, etc are terrific and you can’t beat their prices anywhere.
The Boys makes a delicious Italian Wedding Soup.
This is a fabulous market.
Love their stuffed cabbage. They also make delicious chicken and meat empanadas.
I’m in there every week buying fresh orange and grapefruit juice. You can’t beat its prices.
Great store to shop in.
