Columbus, GA area questions

Hi Becca

I go to Publix for the most part. But just yesterday I was really ticked off about the fruit. There is so much wax on it, it doesn't even come off when you scrub it.

Have you ever seen any Farm Stands around the area? You know, the kind on the side of the road. Maybe I'm blind, but I haven't even seen one.

I'm leary about the farmers market down town. And the woman stuffed into her own freezer doesn' help either. :

I would really love to have some choices here...

On Macon Rd. - just past TJ MAx and across the street - is a produce place - i think that is Market Fresh. THre's also a place called Fat Boys that I think is on veterans. I just moved back to the area, so I haven't been to either and don't know about quality or price. I mostly shop publix also, but sometimes I go to Winn Dixie and find produce that's fresher and cheaper (for ex., publix right now is selling corn 5/$2, but at winn dixie it's 10/$1! and the ears we got at WD were very fresh) - but somethings ar emore expensive at WD. and if it's even a little "out there" for Columbus, it's often old. I'm having a hard time finding nice eggplants (although I have a few eggplants comin gup in my garden!) and I found brocolli rabe at publix, but it was so wilted and sad! and there was goo dlooking brocollini, for $3 for maybe 2 servings! That is crazy expensive! I have been so spoiled by the dekalb farmers market!
