I have driven around outside the villages and occasionally you will see hand made signs at driveways posting food for sale. This is probably the closest to true local produce you will find it's just hard finding them. It would be great if they would form a co-OP and come together to the squares.
Reading all the posts will give you some of the farms selling direct.
