Fresh Produce Returns to 12South
Answering the oft-spoken desires of many neighbors, a fresh produce stand
has set up shop in the neighborhood. 12South Produce, just off of 12th Ave. on Halcyon, is offering delicious homegrown tomatoes, greens, apples, peaches and more, not to mention a wide selection of fall favorites including mums and pumpkins.
