Best bet for local produce is Villages Grown stores at farm, Sawgrass Grove, Brownwood & also sold now at Publix.

Farmers Markets have been exposed for often selling produce which was ** grown anywhere ** then purchased at the same wholesale produce distribution centers as grocers buy from.
Buyer beware.
