City Produce — Attraction in Saint Petersburg

I love this open air fresh fruit and veggie market. I've popped in on several occasions since I moved here 8 months ago from California. The family, husband, wife and son are all very friendly and helpful. If you don't see it out, ask, they have brought things out for me in the past. I was looking for very specific fruits and veggies for my liver rescue cleanse. I needed fresh aloe vera (they have huge stalks/leaves), plus I needed quite a few celery stalks, they also have Celery Root. I had previously gone across the street to TJs but their celery is like mud, taste and appearance when juicing. The celery here is a nice green tone and has excellent flavor.

The peaches and Avacado were misleadingly good as when I got home and and opened them, they were rotten inside. Not sure if it was my choosing or their selection but I never have this problem at some of the national supermarkets. Some of the fruit was very ripe and yummy. Some of the other fruit started going bad in 2 days. The snap peas, the lemon and lime, the tomatoes, cucumbers, the bananas, the plums, the potatoes, and the onion are all still good. Overall the experience was good, the price was very good and the service was good. I will have to go to other produce stores and compare my experience and see how this...

I've been shopping here for 6 years, and the family that runs it is always attentive, kind and knowledgeable.

The produce stand offers a lot of yummy local delicacies like four different kinds of feta cheese. The French feta is the popular pick, but personally I'm a little bit more partial to the Greek feta. They have The best price on produce around by far, and you can buy their goods outside of produce like oils, shrimp and seafood, pita bread and a lot more. They also have some really yummy spinach pies, banana, breads and other Greek items that I don't know the name to. I'll be...
