Hi, Astonian. Ok. But I am sure that the places that I go to are genuine and in the season you can see the corn being harvested in the fields behind and know that it is fresh by appearance. A dirty, abused local field tomato is easy to identify. In the off seasons I am sure that they must import though...to have something to sell at the start of the summer season. I have only glanced at prices and probably more than super stores but not much and if the taste is better; worth it.
