It isn’t much to look at, sort of a covered front porch, but then again, the real test of a produce stand isn’t its aesthetics — it’s the tomatoes. In this regard, Josh Adams Produce is the Taj Mahal. The tomatoes are juicy, acidic and just slightly sweet — and affordable. That’s another selling point for this stand. A recent trip produced a bag of produce that included tomatoes, peaches, baby carrots, romaine lettuce and strawberries — for $6. Bring cash, because that’s all they take. 6681 54th Ave. N., St. Petersburg, 727-548-5926.
