Considering I haven't been in Tennessee this year (except for 3 weeks in
May)... the farmer's market here in Beaufort SC travels around day by day
every week from town to town. I didn't feel like chasing it down. But they
don't sell any such things either. And in both places they are only open
May to October so it's really a moot point, this being mid November. There
is something like a farm stand, except I can't really call it a farm stand
since it doesn't move. They mostly sell flowers. Right now marigolds are
the hot item. Plant them now, they come up again next fall. They do,
sometimes, have squashes and sweet potatoes, things like that.

I'm happy for you! I'm simply pointing out not everyone can do this. No
offense intended to Lin at all, we aren't all as fortunate. I can't get
Chinese food delivered when I'm in Memphis, either. And no one seems to
believe that. The best I can do for food delivery is Papa John's pizza
