We mostly buy them from our local store. They have a nice selection of organic fruits & veggies. Summertime, we frequent farmer's markets. Then my dad has a huge garden we help out with & get some more from.

Getting fresh vegetables is almost impossible these days.

ZandraJoi , spg , Yep, we buy from local stores, which are pretty good at having fresh organic fruits & veggies. And, having your own garden is a big bonus!

We go to the local store here, I know it's fresh as they buy from the local farmers.

I buy vegetables from the farmer's market. Sometimes I buy fresh vegetables but most of the time I buy stale vegetables (vegetables plucked 1-2 days ago) in order to save money. I don't buy vegetables in the grocery stores.

Where do you buy vegetables from? Do you try to get it farm fresh? From street vendors or mom and pop farm stalls, preferably farm fresh when I can.

spg, lainee, Jay, Bob, nomad, Prometheus, Thank you all for your replies! Since we live more north, our farmer's markets aren't open year round. However in the summer, we try to support local & farm fresh as often as we can.

There is no way to get organic vegetables and these fresh vegetables are available everywhere here, but these vegetables doesn't have taste, smell or vitamins. These vegetables are grown in farms where the farmers use pesticide or something to avoid insects, etc.
I love to grow vegetables and fruits, but all of the space covered it now.

I have a small garden at home where I get most of my vegetables. Whenever I am not at home and want to buy some at my fiance's place, I visit the shops nearby to get fresh vegetables.

The aftermath of COVID has made it difficult for farmers to sell product here like they used to however they still manage to get it to the supermarkets.

Just from my local store, I know it's not fresh of the freshest, but it is better than nothing. I grow some during summer, I should try to make it to farmer's market more.

Getting fresh vegetables is almost impossible these days. I totally agree on this statement since here too it is very hard to find anything good for our health. We buy from local market that has most inorganic vegetables and we choose some fresh, also their are some farm fresh stores, but they tpp have worse vegetables. I have planted some vegtables in the past and they are very hygenic to health, but now none is their.

My grandparents use to have a garden so I often got vegetables from them. I grew up on eating the stuff they grew in their garden (both fruits and vegetables).
I haven't bought any vegetables recently because my hubby doesn't really eat them.

When it comes to purchasing vegetables, I buy them from my local farmers market because of their quality and freshness, diverse selection, and support for local farmers.

There's a local vegetable market in my area where all farmers brings in their fresh vegetables to sell. Vegetables resellers buys from them in the market and take to their different selling places.
