We need to educate ourselves.....buyer beware. I look forward each summer to sweet corn. One farm stand I frequent does buy corn before it is ready here. If I see the empty boxes I generally don't buy until later in the summer. Sometimes some of the stands which I trust have tomatoes 10 days or 2 weeks before mine and I buy a few. A peach from Chili in winter is not going to compare to one ripened on the tree here in August .
