They don't do this all the time, but they have $10 produce boxes for sale. I was happy to see that…read morethey were going to do this again, this weekend after not having done them for awhile. We've been to two other produce places in south Florida before and each place has been a bit different. In one of the places, you could also purchase some veggies (or fruits) individually. One other place was okay, but some of the products in the box were a bit past their prime. This was our first time coming to Mecca Farms. This was such an easy experience. $10 cash only. Pull up, pay the money, and they put the box in your car. Everyone was masked and so were we. There wasn't a line at all when we came -- just one car ahead of us. When we got home, everything in the box looked like it had just been picked off the vine or bush. It was a gorgeous array of colors. Our box today had: eggplant, zucchini, green peppers, Cubanel peppers, poblano peppers, yellow squash, red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, and a pound box of strawberries. I had to taste one of the yellow tomatoes right away -- sliced with a touch of salt. It puts those grocery chain tomatoes to shame. So much flavor. After dinner, we had some of the plant city strawberries for dessert. The ripe red berries were huge and so sweet. They doing this again tomorrow should you be in the area. Just check their website or Facebook page to see their schedule. If in doubt, send them a message to ask for produce sales dates. I'm sure we will buy from them again. The $10 price is a bargain. It's especially a deal when the produce is of the high quality that we got today.

All of my friends were posting photos of the boxes of produce they got from here. The photos of the…read moreluscious looking fruits and vegetables made me realize it is time to put down the pandemic hot fudge sundae spoon and get back on nutritional track. Mecca Family Farms is offering a drive through. They have partnered with Fresh Start Produce Sales, a grower based company in Delray Beach. When you pull up you get a menu of what they have that day, place your order, and then pop the trunk and the workers who are masked and gloved put the boxes in. Payment is cash or Venmo. All boxes are $10. There were maybe 15 cars in front of me and the line went very quickly. You can follow them on Facebook for updates on what they have and recipes so you can use your produce. All of the vegetables are locally grown. My vegetable box included 2 green bell peppers, 2 poblano peppers, 3 green chili peppers, 3 cubanelles, 3 ears of corn, 2 zucchini, 2 cucumbers, 3 Kirby cucumbers, an eggplant, 5 red tomatoes, 4 yellow tomatoes, a head of iceberg lettuce, and romaine lettuce. You really get a lot for only $10. Some of the things I am going to make are a salad, BLT's, and zucchini bread. The peppers, especially the hot ones are a little more challenging since I don't usually cook with them. If the mangoes from my tree ripen in time I will use the jalapenos for salsa. Maybe I'll make stuffed poblano and green bell peppers. I am taking it as a challenge to find recipes to use the peppers. The $10 fruit box is usually mixed but they only had blueberries left and they gave you four pints. I use a ton of blueberries so they will go fast. I throw them into my smoothies and if I have enough I have a recipe for blueberry cobbler I have been wanting to make. There are so many reasons to come and get produce. A portion of sales goes to the Restoration Bridge International, a Lake Worth charity that provides food to the needy in Palm Beach County. You are helping local farms during a time when many of them are having to leave their crops to rot on the vine due to lack of demand. Most of all you are getting a great deal that can spark your cooking creativity and improve your health. There is nothing better tasting than a fresh box of farm fresh vegetables and fruit.

They offer prepackaged bags for $10. The options today included: fruit, veggie or salad bags. Additionally, they carry other fruits and vegetables along with dairy products and eggs. One pulls up in their vehicle, places their order and pays with cash or a credit card. They process your order and place it in your vehicle for you. Interaction is minimal and they're wearing gloves and masks. Moreover, the gentleman who helped me was super friendly. This is a great way to secure affordable beautiful produce while supporting our local farmers and businesses during this challenging time. You won't be disappointed! The lists attached reflect 4-8-20 options.

So this week when in the area, I wanted to stop by and check it out myself. They have a lot of produce. All very nicely arranged and marked clearly with price signs. Some items are quite reasonable -- especially those items in sale. Most are at a good price or comparable to your local market. They also have a section of ready to eat cooked food and other deli items in a cooler. I did get another container of chopped chicken liver as I'd really like the one we tried before. I liked the fact that some of the cooked foods were in small portions for 1 or 2 people. What I didn't expect was the shelves of international food items -- from British to Mexican. These shelves line one wall. The place isn't large, but it certainly will have most of the fruits and veggies you're looking for. My husband thought their jumbo eggs were a real bargain, too. I'm sure we will be back when next in the area.

This place is small but is well stocked with fresh fruits and veggies, precooked traditional meals, side dish items and foods from around the world, not to mention fresh Jumbo Eggs for $1.39. The inside is bright, clean and inviting, with friendly staff members to help you find items you may have passed over. They offer specials to enjoy and save some $$$, as well as bakery items from locals. As you get near the rear of the store you can smell some of the delicious aromas from items they are cooking up fresh. Prices are modest and better than the supermarket chains. If you are looking for some ready meals or are planning on cooking a meal yourself, here is where you will want to come to complete your shopping list.

East Coast Farms and Vegetables is a family owned business that grows, packs, and sells produce…read more They typically wholesale to the food industry. They pack and ship under the names of Private Labels, East Coast Farms, and Broadline. East Coast has one of the only year-round cold storage packing facilities located in Florida. Their 38,000 square foot cold storage and packing warehouse allows them to sell to food service companies, wholesalers, and brokers. I was scrolling through Facebook when I received a notice that East Coast was offering a $10 box of produce on Saturday. I am always looking to incorporate more vegetables into my diet and with Thanksgiving coming up it seemed to perfect time to try them. The building is clearly marked and boxes were sold from 10 AM until they ran out. I was greeted with a smile and a hearty hello. All you have to do is drive around the warehouse, pop the trunk, hand them the money, they put your box in, and away you go. When I got home my box was still cold and in it I received 3 ears of corn, 3 large carrots, 2 cucumbers, 2 zucchini, 2 large yellow squash, 2 peppers, 2 onions, and asparagus. The sweet potatoes are so large that they are all I need for Thanksgiving dinner and I look forward to baking a loaf of zucchini bread tomorrow. I have an awesome prosciutto and pasta recipe for the asparagus. A family member saw the squash and wanted to know how I found such large ones. The produce is so fresh and super sized. I feel like I got a bargain. The box was practically paid with the asparagus and peppers alone compared to what Publix charges for just those two vegetables. I am super happy with my purchase and will definitely be back.

As you drive in, a (masked) young man hands you an order form with what's available for the day. You fill out the form as your car is in line. They were out of the first $10 veggie box with avocados and butternut squash, but we figured we'd get the second box with a small watermelon and zucchini instead. We also added on peaches and some eggplant. When we got to the head of the line by the tented area, a young gal takes your order form and your cash. They then deliver your order to your opened car trunk. When we got home, we saw what was in the box and the rest of the order. The extras -- the eggplants were small but that's fine. The peaches looked wonderful -- but were hard as rocks. I cut a couple up to try with whipped cream. So disappointing. I'm hoping they'll ripen a bit. If not, I'll cook them or use in a pie or cobbler. If my experience was solely based on the peaches, I'm not sure I'd come back. In our $10 box, were 4 apples, 3 onions, 4 small sweet potatoes, a zucchini with a chunk missing, a large acorn squash, 3 cubanelle peppers, and small watermelon. We are so hoping that the watermelon is sweet... I think you have to get a few combos to find out which of their products you like. That way you can decided if it's better to order "a la carte" or stick with the prepackaged boxes. Now, to find some recipes to use my new set of veggies! I'm so glad these farms decided to do this to raise money when their normal sources were not using as much of their produce. It's a great idea -- for all of us. Plus it gets us to eat more veggies!

So many vendors were happy to share the story behind what they're selling, and you can tell they're proud of it. We ended up grabbing a bottle of honey and a bottle of BBQ sauce and still didn't spend more than $20.00. Already can't wait to go back.

Oh and the wheatgrass, tbh, hated wheatgrass before trying their sweet wheatgrass, now, i simply can't get enough. MUST TRY, you won't regret it.
