Spent the afternoon visiting the small communities in and around Visalia, including, Exeter, Porterville, Three Rivers and a couple of others. Monday, seems to be organic fruit day; so, I picked up organic oranges, apples, limes, lemons, blackberries, and blueberries. Plus, a few basic cooking ingredients - garlic, shallots, ginger.

Tomorrow is veggie day; most farms harvest around dawn, and the produce is available by 9 am. I need some beets, celery, carrots, kale, lettuce, spinach, cauliflower and broccoli. If I can find some exotics, I'll grab some, too. Photo below is only a sample of what I picked up at prices that are unbelievably lower than the SF Bay area (and, all locally grown).
