Yes there's a farm stand a mile and a half away that right now is selling plants they bought started and grew out. They have local honey and later produce. They have some they grow like sweet corn but they bring up watermelon and fruit from other states. They say locally grown..Where I live we have road-stands too in the fruit season. I live near to an area where they have a lot of fruit trees, like cherrys.
But the road-stand near to where I live imports most fruit from Italy. They sell cherry’s long before they ripen here and the price is even higher than the supermarkets price. Exploiting tourists-business.

but when I asked about watermelon a month before mine would be ready , they said not grown by them. It was from out of state. Which is what I can get at the store regularly for half the price. I don't mind paying the grower more than the store.
