I took the long treck to Specialty Produce today.
http://www.specialtyproduce.com/
It's a produce warehouse that supplies local restaurants with their
produce, and they are open to the public. It's a working warehouse so
one has to step carefully around employees filling orders.
They buy most of their produce locally, as much as they can with
what's in season. Everytime I go I'm so happy with what I get and the
prices I pay, why I don't do this more often is beyond me; guess out
of sight out of mind.

You sign in, (and out) get your produce bags and gloves, you aren't to
handle the produce bare handed. There are huge bags and bins of
produce on pallets and in gigantic walkins.

Besides the usual potatoes, onions, lemons etc...here are a few of the
items I got today.

They are like a regular cucumber, maybe a bit tangier.
