Aldi and Sprouts, which have already been mentioned. Aldi's stuff tends to be fresher (according to my wife, who knows about such things) because of the rapid turnover. We've had pretty good luck at Publix: in the rare instances where something was not fresh we'd just bring it back and they'd either replace it or refund our money, no questions asked. I don't know of any other place that does that, not for fresh produce anyway.

There is a stand we saw yesterday, on 301 about two miles before Wildwood, selling various veggies and fruit. We didn't stop; however we did see a couple of cars there.
