Fri Jun 27 21:07:53 -0700 2008 15732 MarkG 1 3821640 Archer Farms is a Target house brand. I am particularly fond of the tomato and mushroom risottos.

I've tried a few Archer Farms logo items and enjoyed them. -BnF Sat Jul 19 23:27:22 -0700 2008 3821088 125375 Big N Fat 1 3884806 I've enjoyed the bulk of what I've tried. I tried a few flavored rice items that I disliked, but the snack items are wonderful as are the hors d'oeuvres. Sun Jul 20 05:29:55 -0700 2008 3821088 107671 queencru 1 4075758 I just had their banana peanut butter ice cream and it was pretty good, though the 'banana ice cream' base was not very banana-y. :-) They also have a salted chocolate pretzel flavor I'll try next. Wed Oct 01 19:28:43 -0700 2008 3821088 14632 tenacity 2 4078086 I thought that salted chocolate pretzel ice cream was fantastic! And I completely agree on the banana-yness (how's that for a word!). To answer the question, I've really liked everything from Archer Farms, with exception of some frozen seafood t.v. dinner entrees. That was many months ago, though, and I think they've been discontinued. Their frozen thin-crust pizzas are particularly good for frozen pizza. Thu Oct 02 16:52:18 -0700 2008 4075758 100743 almccasland 1 4077285 I've never been disappointed by the Archer Farms foods. Unfortunately, though, I broke up with Target so no more Archer Farms for me. The Archer Farms chai cookies crumbled on top of homemade pistachio pudding are fantastic. Thu Oct 02 11:55:37 -0700 2008 3821088 88544 Ima Wurdibitsch 2 4109102 Can you say why? We also recently quit shopping there. Thu Oct 16 13:26:14 -0700 2008 4077285 19518 rockandroller1 3 4113772 Really...why? Sat Oct 18 21:32:10 -0700 2008 4109102 11854 LaLa 1 4078079 Good to hear good reports about this Target brand of foods, maybe I'll try some of it now. I almost never buy food at Target, plus their commercials about this brand completely turn me off. Looks like some fake world of pretend goodness. Reminds me of that Jim Carey movie, The Truman Show. Thu Oct 02 16:49:57 -0700 2008 3821088 13957 slacker 1 4082709 We just tried a "box" of Target's Sauvagnion Blanc wine. It was dry & crisp and just right for a summer drink . (We're in FL, so it's still summer.) It was also much cheaper than the New Zealand SB's we've been drinking. Next time we're there, we're going to pick up another of there varietals. This is a "Target' not Archer Farm brand. Sun Oct 05 05:43:28 -0700 2008 3821088 15712 cavandre 1 4089120 I like the potato chips. Some of the flavors are little fake tasting, but when I'm eating a chip with an artificial name, I'm not really expecting a real tasting flavor. Also, I love how the packages have built in ziplocks Tue Oct 07 16:29:33 -0700 2008 3821088 217807 cheesecake17 2 4099152 I've tried a few of the frozen pizza's....roasted veg...and spinach....both were superior to the well known brands I have tried Sun Oct 12 09:32:03 -0700 2008 4089120 104118 paulispumonti 3 4118699 I LOVE the AF organic pizzas. Unfortunately, my local Target (Dallas) no longer carries them, as of about 3 weeks ago. Does anyone know if this is a chain-wide discontinuation of the product, or is it just my store? Tue Oct 21 10:34:14 -0700 2008 4099152 234086 francine23 3 4121663 I just tried the spinach and goat cheese pizza last night . . . really, really good. I'm having the leftovers for lunch today. Wed Oct 22 12:07:12 -0700 2008 4099152 140805 mdepsmom 1 4099196 Good quality house brand and on sale this week. Check the Target ad in your Sunday paper. Sun Oct 12 09:53:23 -0700 2008 3821088 70474 baseballfan 2 4105770 I like their snack mixes esp the Cajun one. Wed Oct 15 08:23:24 -0700 2008 4099196 11854 LaLa 3 4107253 I love that Cajun mix... It's hard to keep myself from eating the whole bag in one sitting. Wed Oct 15 17:52:05 -0700 2008 4105770 14832 Uncle Ira 2 4107869 Yeah, the chocolate caramel ice cream sauce is one of the items on sale, and I love it! No HFCS, which is on my do-no-buy list. TJ's used to have a wonderful chocolate ice cream sauce which of course they discontinued--this one's almost as good. Thu Oct 16 04:47:47 -0700 2008 4099196 109573 coney with everything 1 4106852 I like the Baked Chips by Target's Archer Farms. My faves are the cracked pepper and sea salt, and the rosemary. They sell the baked roemary chips in little lunch size bags. Even though its cheaper to portion out your own, i like these little bags for on the go... Also, I purchased some great sounding flavored waters on sale : starfruit, passion fruit etc. They were on special at the time. I rushed home, very excited to try it, and found that it tasted very much like plastic!!! Target was happy to take them back for me, even though I drank a significant amount. It didnt occur to me that they would take it back rather than force myself to finish the whole thing. Wed Oct 15 14:59:03 -0700 2008 3821088 157583 epicureous eggplant 2 4115616 Heh, I bought some of those plastic-tasting waters as well. I'm actually surprised it isn't just me. I'm rather sensitive to the taste. To me they looked exactly like Hint, but a lot less expensive. http://www.drinkhint.com/home.php Even the bottle shape was the same. But. The Hint flavors are way better. The Hint bottles cost $2 at Giant Eagle, though, whereas the Target ones cost I think $1.29. On the other hand, the Archer Farms citrus flavor (I forget the exact flavors, but the label is orange) sparkling water from Italy is really fantastic. It has supplanted the Blu Italy lime flavor from Trader Joe's at our house. And actually, considering that the Blu is 750ml and the Target water is a whole liter, the Target one costs less.
