Not worth buying from. Everything is from Jessup wholesale. Occasionally there is PA produce but it is rare and it goes quick. We repackage and take labels off. The Amish are not honest and the scales are rarely checked...that's more of the states fault though. They came through once in the many years I was there.

The corn is fantastic, they only bring in local corn (incl eastern shore, etc). But they don't show up till early/mid July for this exact reason.

Literally the produce from their backyard garden; sometimes the grandkids of the lady who owns the property are there monitoring/stocking the stand. They put the produce out and you're on the honor system to put the correct amount in the locked money box (so bring lots of ones....).

They even snapped pictures of boxes from Dole and other non-local producers, many stacked out back of the building for trash/recycling.

It's sad that sellers would be so misleading, especially when you think that some people literally need the organic or natural foods due to health concerns.<br /><br />Would government legislation help?
