Lehigh Acres is not normally known for its abundance of fresh produce not until Country Harvest Farms Market and Nursery came along. Currently named Sugar Sweet Produce, Country Harvest Market was opened in 2019 by owners Michelle Williams and Tracy Burden.
The produce market is at 2300 Joel Blvd., and sells a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as other items including fresh honey, eggs, and herbs, plus a variety of plants and fresh cut flowers during the holidays. Local fishing enthusiasts can also find bait, including earthworms and nightcrawlers.
