We buy our produce at our local Heinen's store (16 stores total, all in

general area and locally owed) or the local farmers stands when in season.
Heinen's purchases produce daily from the downtown food terminal and it is
therefore much fresher than with the large chains who buy it, warehouse it
at their main distribution points (sometimes several States away), then
eventually ship it to their stores.
Too far to drive.

Do you have a Wegman's store nearby?
www.wegmans.com
At least here, in their hometown, they offer quite a bit of produce that's
locally grown. Might be the same in the newer territories they've conquered.
Not nearby, but they are a nice store. We have a Trader Joe's and a Whole
Foods fairly close. Both are nice, but the Whole Foods is pricey. Most of
the heavy duty grocery shopping is done at the commissary on Fort Belvoir.
