Hey folks:

In keeping with our desire to eat more locally/regionally-grown foods, I'm going to try to put together a weekly listing of what's available out there. If you know of additional sources please let me know. For example, does anybody have a phone # for Cotton's produce in Freeport so I can check with them every week? For this week, here's what I have:


Perennials and Natives by a Girl Named Toni (west end 30 A next to Elmo's)

cucumbers, shelled peas and beans, peaches, jalapenos, green peppers, green beans, lettuce, cantalope, blueberries, blackberries, eggplant, tomatoes


For the Health of It, Blue Mountain Beach

mint, daikon radish sprouts, red potatoes, corn, cherry tomatoes

Please support our local businesses that are working so hard to bring us fresh local and regional foods!

So excited about Toni's and fresh food!

Has anyone checked out the "farmer's market" at the market shops at Sandestin?

Hello there, I am packing up but, I have the lease here until August 15th, so I will be open and hopefully, I will have no down time. My phone at the shop is 622-1889, and my cell phone is 699-3382. Please don't hesitate to call for daily list of veggies, also have lots of plants that I would rather sell than pack up🙂 Stay cool!!! Toni

I'd change the sign reading that you are moving to historic Grayton to Grayton north of 98, or the like. Went by Sunday when you were closed and drove around for damn near ever trying to find that street name. I finally gave up. Can't wait to try your fresh vegetables.

We talked about it before the thread evaporated. In a nutshell, don't bother with the Sandestin "farmer's market".

New location will be behind Sherwin Williams on 283. I believe Toni's is the first house on the right behind SW.

Thanks. I meant it more for other folks trying to find it who don't use the internet.

You make a very good point, especially for a business located well off the beaten path.

That's what I remembered, (a prior visit only revealed overpriced strawberries) but I'm in produce depression after 2 weeks of visiting a fabulous farmer's market, so I was checking every option!

Smiling JOe, Thanks for the welcome. You have a great ideal for posting local produce available on a weekly basis. You may want to include prices. I will be happy to provide you with what I sell on a weekly or Bi-weekly basis to help you with your project. Let me , know how to get you the info. This week I delivered quite a bit of Homegrown Produce in Sowal. Alot of it was Hydroponic and the rest came from small regional farmers. . Examples of what was delivered includes, Homegrown Tomatoes, Hydro Arugula, Hydro Spinach, Hydro Peppers, (red and green bells, pablano's and jalepeno's) Blue lake Bush Beans, Vidalia Onions, Green Onions, Figs,
Black Beauty Eggplant, Japanees Eggplant, Blueberries, Blackberry's, Strawberries, Bok Choy, Nappa Cabbage, Carrots, Squash, Lemons, Limes, Papayas, Okra, Sweet Georgia Corn and cucumbers. It does not cost more to EAT-Rite. In checking the prices at Publix, Winn-Dixie and Fresh Market, Eat-Rite was at least 10% cheaper and in most cases 20% or more less expensive. And thats for REAL, FARM FRESH PRODUCE, DELIVERED.
