Oak,
Actually (although not organic) in the right place in Florida you can get fresh produce. Not in my coastal area, but near Ocala where my folks live...lots of sold on the side of the road produce. I think it is the left over or surplus from large commercial lots.

Melons...cateloupe and watermelon, when in season can be bought off the back of the truck in these more rural areas.

I do agree that in the more urban and coast (congested) areas, fresh produces is hard to find. Even the "saturday am market" in teh "city" the procudes does nto look all that fresh and they really don't advertise/say where it is comes from. It really looks like surplus and "fallen off the back of the truck".

I can't even say we have fresh seafood here!

Oh, corn is another thing...early corn (spring) is usually local and fresh.
Although not organic!
