When I first moved to Deltona in 1996 my new neighbor gave me a list of places to patronize based on her experience. Her list was extensive and varied, with many selections in each category. However, under fruit and produce there was only one choice. Appleby’s Produce has been serving the residents since the owner first opened in 1986 with the intent of providing premium product at a reasonable price. One only has to navigate the crowds of returning customers on a busy morning to see why. The quirky little store is easily recognized by its landmark Apple sign. Inside the aroma is aromatic with all the produce. There are the obligatory apples, oranges, bananas, vegetables and tomatoes all at their peak. In addition, Appleby’s carries some unusual fare such as burpless cukes, ataulfo mangoes, rutabagas and apple pears. There is also an extensive line of organic products that is a bit pricier, but it is well worth it. They also carry ready to plant herbs like oregano, mint, thyme and rosemary. They also have honey sticks in many delicious flavors, exotic fruit gels and that most cherished Southern tradition, hot boiled peanuts. Appleby’s has that homey family feeling so much so customers have been known to bring over their excess from their garden to share with other customers for free. So, if you are ever in Deltona and need to go fresh and organic, look no further than Appleby’s. If you’re looking for an easy to use online directory, look no further than globalYP.net.
