Aurora Fresh Produce brings you quality, fruits and vegetables, mostly grown locally, direct from farmers they know in Plant City and Immokalee from Oct.-May. In summer, they offer locally grown fruit like mangos and exotic fruit, but summer vegetables are grown in nearby states like Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. Nature’s bounty is always beautifully arranged and displayed, all at surprisingly affordable prices. The family puts in extra effort, offering pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, and more, freshly cut in quart containers. They often have three kinds of mushrooms and free-range eggs too.
Signs often say where things were grown and when they were picked. It is obviously fresher than any other local source.
Come out to Corey Ave. (74th Ave.) in St. Pete Beach on Sundays 10am-2pm. Bring your reusable bags with you.
