Oh, ours do too. But I try to buy from the local farmers at the area farm
stands whenever possible. Unlike some folks, I have limited access to a
"farmer's market" (the dang thing moves around).

Here in the deep south, sweet potatoes are in season, as are small red and
small white potatoes. Tomatoes are starting to come in; it's been a very
mild winter. Also various shades of bell peppers. (Locally grown broccoli
just went out of season.)

I love blueberries. It's been a while, but I've been known to make
blueberry muffins Unfortunately the folks with the farm stands don't
grow blueberries. But it's almost time for the Cane Island daffodil
picking!
