Without a doubt, Aldi's has the best fruits and vegetables.

Whole food closed after about 3 to 4 years', it was on 441 lady lake across from McDonalds and Kohls now PGA Golf building.

Is there another grocery in TV (or short drive) that is your favorite for produce?
TIA
There is a farmers market at Brownwood Square every Saturday morning.

Best price and always fresh is Aldi’s… way better than Publix or Winn Dixie. Sprouts us good but very pricey.

Always wondered where most of the vendors actually get the produce they sell.

Publix I read treats their fresh veggies with some process that isn’t that heathy, to help keep them looking fresh, longer.
Kroger on the other hand does not. Not sure about Sprouts. Sorry I don’t have the exact process, I saw an article some weeks ago about this.

Yes, this would be perfect! But do they have a pick-up spot near TV?

I was looking for another CSA in this area as I've been a member for many years at my previous home.

Thank you everyone for the replies!!

Was called Earth Fare, not Whole Foods. But pretty much the same concept.
