This market (not to be confused with the weekly outdoor farmer's market*) has an outstanding selection, and not just produce but a meat counter, artisan breads, wine and beer, dairy, and nearly all your basic needs.
*That farmer's market is Wednesdays 2:30-6:30 in Rockaway Beach (you can't miss it). Be sure to get some Boatdocks Bakery bread, which is as good as any I've had ANYWHERE.
