Thumbs up The Market of Marion

Not having access to a wide variety of fresh produce of high quality is my only dislike about living here. I miss the produce stores we had in Detroit.

Bogie do you know of any produce stores in Orlando or Ocala that are similar to Fresh Market. I'm willing to drive the distance for some high quality produce.

I have been to the Market of Marion a number of times and have been impressed with the freshness of some of the produce.
I can't even think what kind of produce is not available in this area???

It's interesting that someone thinks an hour's drive back and forth isn't worth the time or gas to drive to purchase something,
but is willing to drive 2+ hours plus gas (100+ miles) for pretty much the same exact thing.
