Farmer in the Deli

Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

Farmer in the Deli, originally known as Larro's, has been a Brooklyn staple since the 1950s, owned by an Italian immigrant before the current family took over in the early '70s and changed the name in the '80s. This bodega is famous for its 'we don't make sandwiches, we build them' philosophy, allowing customers to customize their creations from a wide array of ingredients. Regulars know to expect a line, especially during peak hours, but the consistent quality and fresh ingredients make the wait worthwhile.

★ The Legend
Chopped Sandwich (Custom)
This is the dish that put Farmer in the Deli on the map, especially with its recent viral fame on TikTok and Instagram. The magic happens when your chosen meats, cheeses, and toppings are finely chopped and mixed together on a large cutting board, creating a homogenous, flavorful bite in every part of the sandwich.
◆ Fan Favorite
Chopped Cheese
While the custom chopped sandwich is legendary, the Chopped Cheese is a consistently reordered item, praised for its delicious cooked and chopped burger with onion seasoning, salt, pepper, mayo, lettuce, and tomatoes. It's a classic New York bodega sandwich that regulars swear by for its comforting and satisfying flavor profile.
◇ Hidden Gem
Chopped Tuna Sandwich
Before the deli's viral fame for chopped sandwiches, the chopped tuna sandwich was a long-standing staple, with the owners starting by making individual, made-to-order chopped tuna for customers. A Reddit user also fondly recalls the fresh chopped tuna sandwiches from the Myrtle Avenue location, noting the unique preparation where all ingredients are chopped and mixed together with a freshly opened can of tuna.
Insider Tip

Don't just order a pre-made sandwich from the menu; instead, go up to the counter and tell them exactly what you want. They'll take all your chosen ingredients, including any bag of chips from the store, and chop them together right in front of you, ensuring every bite is perfectly integrated and flavorful.
