There would be many people there who buy cases of food for their 'local' produce stands.

In other words these 'local' produce stands were buying their product from the same source as supermarkets and others who just wanted good product at good prices.

Doesn't mean that these stands don't have good produce but don't just assume that it is locally grown produce. Make sure you ask about source if you are concerned.

Last spring there was a weekly produce market in Lady Lake at the park just south of where 466 joined 441/27. I believe that a lot of the fruit & produce there was local.
