My wife and I have tried Brown's 2 different times. We were disappointed both times. High prices and a lot of stuff that they obviously didn't grow. We got tomatoes that tasted like the ones from the grocery store, and we bought what they said was fresh siver queen corn. It was nothing but blisters. There couldn't have been more than 1/4 cup of corn from 4 ears. We should have checked it at the market, but never suspected they would be so careless as to be selling corn like that. We consider it an inexpensive lesson and have no intentions of buying from them again.
It's an attractive place, though.
On Tuesday mornings there is a market at Lady Lake that only allows locally grown produce to be sold, right after you turn right from 466 onto 441/27 on the right. We have gotten a lot of good veggies there.
