Stoltzfus Produce — Local services in DeLand

Today was my first time trying this little produce market. I purchased a fresh made salad which was packaged beautifully and everything inside was fresh with vibrant colors, and good crunch. I also purchased a bag of yams, and a head of purple cabbage both looked of great quality, and I personally felt the prices were fair in comparison to the quality you receive from the grocery stores.

Locally owned and operated. Has been in same location for decades. I can walk to it from the residence I'm staying in during the pandemic. The employees are friendly and helpful.
