Hey Stoney (and any other VA, NC gardeners)
I just heard about this - maybe something worth checking out. Wanna join me for a field trip? My friend got 50lbs of zucchini for $22

There's a produce auction in Courtland every Thursday, the bidding starts at 6:30 sharp but if you get there earlier you can take a look at everything. You can set up as a bidder and use the same number every week. No charge. You just pay for what you buy, cash/check. It's off 58 past the Food Lion between Courtland and Franklin, you take the right just past Food Lion and drive down a bit and it's on the right. (she got) 50 lbs white zucchini for $22, 9 lbs of eggplant for $9, tomatoes were going around $25 for a 25 lb box, green beans $20 for a 25 lb box and most squash was about $15 for a 25 lb box. Watermelons at $4. Cantaloupe anywhere from $2 to $4 depending on the type. Peaches were averaging $30 a basket.
