The Villages Grown has a store at the market at Sawgrass Grove. They grow their produce in controlled greenhouses, near where the new Walmart is being built. They also sell produce from nearby farms.
There is a farmers' market in Brownwood on Saturday mornings. I suspect many of the vendors get their produce from the same wholesalers the grocery stores use.
You will find that tomatoes do not grow well in Florida. We tried. Neither do cucumbers or peppers. If you get a few to grow on your plants, they do not taste like anything.
And the seasons are different here. If you try to grow, plant very early spring. Harvest by end of May. Then try for a second season October-December. Start seeds indoors.
Good luck.
