There is a type of delicious sweet cantaloupe coming into season, They're called Athena Cantaloupes. They are currently available at Publix, where they are on sale at two for $4. I bought one this afternoon and we had half for dinner. We loved it.
When we were at the produce store at Yoder's Amish Village two days ago, they said they were expecting their first batch in very soon.

Detwiler's Farm market - Great Produce in Sarasota
Thanks to our friend Helen D., one of our go-to places for produce in Sarasota is Detwiler's Farm Market (http://detwilermarket.com/). They have a superb selection of very reasonably priced produce, as well as:
- Amish noodles, flours, preserves, peanut butters, candies, etc., etc.
- A smallish seafood counter with outstanding looking fresh seafood
- A variety of dairy products, bacons, lunch meat
- An ice cream counter
It's located on Palmer just off of Cattlemen and just west of I-75, between Fruitville and Bee Ridge.
I highly recommend it.

Hydro-Taste Hydroponic Farm, Manatee County - Great Produce
The Hydro-Taste Hydroponic Farm (http://www.hydrotaste.com/) in Manatee County is a great place to get fresh produce. It offers a wide variety of excellent produce that is grown at its Manatee County farm or its farm near Lakeland.
Some of the produce, like strawberries and blueberries, is produce which you pick yourself. This is much easier to do at Hydro-Taste because of the way the plants are grown. You do not have to bend over.
The strawberries I've picked there are among the very best I've tasted, and are certainly far superior to supermarket strawberries, even those from Florida farms.
You can find a list of currently available produce at this page on their web site: http://www.hydrotaste.com/produce.html
The farm store also sells are variety of Amish noodles, preserves, etc.
The farm and its store are about 13 miles east of I-75 between state roads 64 and 70. Directions are available at: http://www.hydrotaste.com/farm_map.html
The farm gives tours. For small groups, no reservations are necessary. For larger groups, reservations are required.
