Soon after Linda Hamby moved to Madison from St. Petersburg, Fla., in 2020, she saw the need for the freshest fruits and vegetables possible to be available to the community. She also had the desire to help local farmers and producers wherever possible. That desire to offer high-quality, fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables was fulfilled on Saturday, Aug. 20, when “Hamby's Veggies, Fruits and More” opened its doors on Colin Kelly Hwy., in Madison.
“Our vegetables are so fresh that they often still have the dirt on them from when they were dug,” said Hamby. Although Hamby strives to offer locally grown produce whenever possible, she does have many items that aren't necessarily grown locally.
A wide variety of fruits and vegetables scarcely constitutes the extent of her store. Hamby also offers a variety of syrups and honey types, jellies, soaps, décor and much more. “It's more of a 'country store' than simply a fruit and vegetable market,” added Hamby.
Hamby's Veggies, Fruits and More is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 12 p.m. until 6 p.m., and is located at 633 NE Colin Kelly Hwy., in Madison.
