My mom would stop by on the way home from the daily errands and pick up fresh picked from the fields. Is there anyplace like that near the western/southwestern burbs (Newton, Dedham)? I am sooooo sick of supermarket corn, but don't have tons of time to go too far out of town. Thanks!

Also, Idlewild Farms in Acton has great produce in general.
