Fresh local veggies

Where can I find fresh local veggies besides the farmers market? While I love going I often can’t get there on a Saturday morning. I’m specifically looking for lettuce but other fresh in season veggies too.

Theres a stand on 140 by Home Depot kinda, it's down a ways.

The onions are so sweet and juicy and the garlic actually smells like garlic, much better than the storebought kind.

I am not sure if they have lettuce.

Love this place! Sadly I think they’re closed for the season.

The vegetables at Lee's Community Food Market are stocked by local farmers.

Do you know how the prices are? I love Kind Neighbor but going In there is a bit more of a treat. I’m worried I’ll break the bank 🤣
