From my friend

Hey folks:

In keeping with our desire to eat more locally/regionally-grown foods, I'm going to try to put together a weekly listing of what's available out there. If you know of additional sources please let me know. For example, does anybody have a phone # for Cotton's produce in Freeport so I can check with them every week? For this week, here's what I have:


Perennials and Natives by a Girl Named Toni (west end 30 A next to Elmo's)

cucumbers, shelled peas and beans, peaches, jalapenos, green peppers, green beans, lettuce, cantalope, blueberries, blackberries, eggplant, tomatoes


For the Health of It, Blue Mountain Beach

mint, daikon radish sprouts, red potatoes, corn, cherry tomatoes

Please support our local businesses that are working so hard to bring us fresh local and regional foods!

Dumb question - I have never heard of a Girl Named Toni, nor have I seen a store. Where is this place.

Also, is Cottons in Freeport the same people who had the vegetable stand on S 331 in Santa Rosa Beach until a couple of years ago?

Toni's is on the west end of 30A, next to Elmo's.

Yes, the same Cotton's.

:idontno: Maybe they are in Mangos belly button?? :yikes:

Is Toni's in that house sort of behind Elmo's that use to be an antique store? They sell fresh veggies?

What I would do for some fresh lima beans AND true vine ripe tomatoes. I bought some tomatoes from the stand on 331 a couple of years ago. The sign said vine ripe. But, the sticker on the tomato from the grower said Hot House Tomatoes!! LOL. They were still good!

What days is this place open?

I was wondering where this thread went. very strange.

For The Health of It also has local honey in stock. Mmmmmm, honey.

Well, now you guys have one less jar. 😀 :wub:

I think the gov't took it down. You know they have to keep the big food corporations and drug companies in business, and the easiest way to do it is by supressing the little man, who tries to eat real food, not to be confused with "REAL" brand food, like you get on a Dominoes Pizza. Here is a thought for you -- Dominoes Pizza's founder, when asked about Pizza Hut winning the best tasting pizza award (before they had delivery), stated that Dominoes wasn't in the pizza business. They were in the delivery business. At the time, I thought that answer was genius. Now, I think that he really meant that they didn't cook real food, just processed crap with REAL brand cheese. I wonder if there is a HOME GROWN brand of food out there. :bang:

Anywho, back to the local and regional foods. They are out there. Seek them out.

OK, so let's get down to #1 question:

Who has the best REAL TOMATOES?

Cuz it's the time of year to be eating some good ones, and I'm tired of flavorless baseballs...

Has anyone heard if Gwynn Baker has re-opened her LaLoba's Bakery? She's back from Colorado and I'm missing her granola and breads.:drool: She told me months ago she was working on getting it open on her property between Freeport and DeFuniack.

Gwynn has converted a building on her property (Rock Hill) into a kitchen and is back in business. You can probably find her digits in the directory.
She does make the best granola, breads, and cinnamon rolls around!!! :wub:

Toni's has great produce!!! She will be moving next door to Shermin Williams in Grayton soon

What about the best tomato's??? WHERE???

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but you can get LaLoba's granola, cream cheese brownies, and cookies at For the Health of It in Blue Mountain Beach. They are kept right by the register for your shopping convenience. ;-)

I drove by there today on my way home from Destin. They weren't open, guess they are closed Sundays. Dang.

The move to Grayton will be good news for those of us on the eastern half of 30A. When will that be?

I'm not sure how soon. She seems to be packing things up in the location by Elmos now.
