Manteca, CA
Roadside fruit and veggie stands are some of my favorite things about California.
I would have passed Jacob's completely had it not been for the cars and trucks out front that caught my eye. I couldn't resist stopping after spotting mounds of vibrant, fresh produce.
I started grabbing and filling bags as if it were some kind of ridiculous contest a la "Supermarket Sweep". A few apricots here, two avocados there, a bunch of bananas, a netted bag of garlic, and several red potatoes. I must have looked like a loon to the young lady behind the register...
Grand total? Six bucks and change. What a steal! Supermarkets can't even come close to that quality for the price. Be a peach. Support your local growers!
