Tony's Produce Market

"Well this is a hard one to write because prices are going up everywhere so you couldn't expect a specialty store to have low prices. I usually go to Walgreens and then go home. I always wondered what was in that little food store so I stopped to try it out. I see people complaining about Tony. Not sure if I was talking to Tony or not. Didn't really care. I'm used to gruff people. Just don't be too rude. He wasn't. Quite honestly, I change my demeanor if people are gruff with me so they get it back in their face somewhat. I would imagine it's a lot of work setting up all the foods he sells. I take that into account. I like the specialty foods he has. I was looking for some asparagus but didn't see it. What I did see was brussel sprouts! I love those. I also saw lots of other unusual things which I love to try and they were very good. What I like most of all was he had avocados for about a dollar and I found one that was already ripe and one that was ripe the next day. I will definitely be going back for more avocados. There were also other unusual foods which I love to try. So I feel I've actually found a little gem of a place where I never expected it to be. I probably don't eat like most people but it doesn't matter as long as you eat healthy. Or not. It's your choice. I personally liked Tony's. If that was you Tony, that's fine. I'm probably not much better myself when it comes to putting up with other people. I noticed a lot of the people before me seemed to know Tony pretty well. Maybe they're just used to him being gruff. I just want the food that I like. I will be back for more interesting food from Tony's. I can be PO'd to the point where I don't come back but it wasn't that bad. At least not for me at that time. For such a little store, he actually had a fairly good selection Not your typical grocery store food. Tony, you were not gruff with me. I was defending you. Someone said you were so I was waiting to see what happened when I checked out and you were just fine. So please relax you have absolutely nothing to prove when it comes to me. What happens with everyone else is between you and everyone else and some people just get upset over silly things. Don't know any of the circumstances. You have wonderful food."

"We've been coming to Tony's Market for over 2 years & wouldn't go anywhere else. There is always a great selection of fruits & veggies. Our granddaughter Hannah loves going there, picking out her apples, cucumbers & her lollipop. The shop is always clean, fresh & beautifully decorated, not to mention the courteous helpful folks that work there. I highly recommend Tony's Produce Market!"

"We had a girl's getaway in Crystal River and stopped by Tony's produce. What a wonderful little delight. The store was clean and fresh offering everything from produce to farm raised beef, jams, and specialty items. We enjoyed our time there and really enjoyed our dinner that night, made with the fresh produce and meat from Tony's. Every time I am up that way I stop in and grab me some things to bring back home. Tony is down to earth, humorous and takes care of his customers. Thanks Tony and staff for making your produce store one of a kind."

"What a beautiful little store with the freshest fruits and vegetables! A true gem run by some of the nicest people I've ever met. They made you feel really welcome. Well worth a visit!"
