Yes! I try to stop at roadside stands for fresh fruit and vegetables during harvest times. Most times the flavor and textures of the fruit and vegetables is almost unbelievable compared to store-bought foods.
There are differences in how a food tastes depending on where it was grown. The soil, climate, altitude, length of growing season and so on do make a difference.
Its not flyover food but I love freshly picked and roasted Silver Queen corn from the Maryland Eastern Shore.
