I do wonder about the boxes under the vendor table???
There's a Village's Grown store at Sawgrass.

I don't mind supporting the vendors at local farmer's markets. They're out there trying to make a buck like everyone else. If their produce is good quality, I'd rather spend my money with them, rather than a corporate chain. Before, I do purchase any produce, I walk around behind the booths and check out the boxes of produce to see where it's origin is. I've seen a lot from Georgia. Close enough for me!
