GOOD QUALITY FRUIT+VEG WHERE?????

where do you go in LK to get good quality fruit and veg.
most of the supermarket stuff is to old by the time it gets here

Try some of the sellers along the roadside on the approach roads to the town. Theres a couple of them located near the Manor roundabout and further down the Lifford road at Ballinaleckey.

tried the roadside guys, not a lot in the line of choice or quality.

quite a few good shops dotted around various towns around the north but none close to home

I always thought the Lidl organic range was very nice!

Jez those apples... *goes off on a wee dream about the juicy, so-red-they-are-burgundy, huge Lidl organic apples...*

Wouldnt mind knowing somewhere good either, the stuff in shops is usually gone off within a few days, things like peppers and grapes rarely last more than a couple of days without going soft

LIDL has a high turnover and their fruit etc tends to be good thus. Other shops sell less and so the stuff is staler.

If you go in LIDl first thing on a Monday morning they are hard at work unpacking fruit and veg.

So timing is everything.

Staying with seasonal produce of course makes a difference too as that is often local and thus fresher. Here in West Cork now we have many markets and eat local organic produce at a low cost.

Yep, Lidl veg is good. You can also try nworganic.com. You can get a mixed bag of veg for around €12 (I think) which includes delivery in Letterkenny, Derry and thereabouts. It includes potatoes, onions, carrots and seasonal veg. They also do individual fruit, veg, dairy, meat & other stuff. You can even download free recipes from their site!
