Last Sunday while driving around visiting produce stands, I noticed how high the prices were at some but not others like Produce Paradise, which was so reasonable I wrote about it on Monday after speaking with the owner.

Don't be fooled when you visit many of these produce stands that all of the fruits and vegetables are grown on their farm. Much of the produce is bought elsewhere and repriced so that they can make some money off of it.

It's for that reason that you need to check the prices at the local supermarkets, many of which get their produce from the same roadside people before you assume that the stand price is cheaper.

Mary Anne Kelly Hobbs-Fernie recommends Maugeri's in Woolwich Township. "Last weekend Customers Appreciation tomatoes 99 cents a pound. Cantaloupe $1 each. She has promised to keep prices as they were last summer. Their corn is so so sweet."

Jayne Malone loves the corn from Costco.

C&J Farms in Manalapan

Village Farms in Lawrenceville

Lynn Ann Murray says Twin Pond Farm in Howell has the "best corn ever!"
