The African-American man who owns this roadside stand always has fresh goods. Paul Goldfinger photo. December 2019. Harlem Heights, Ft.Myers, Fla.
Three days ago it was raining, so when I pulled into this location, no one was around. I got out and selected 3 lovely tomatoes. There was a tin can on the side with money in it. So I paid what I thought it was worth and then proceeded to take some photos.
The next day I stopped there again, and he was in attendance. I needed some lemons, and he had them. His prices are very reasonable.
There are so many sources of fresh produce and fresh seafood in Southwest Fla, that I wondered how he makes a living. But year after year, he is back, and he has his own business.
