Antonio and Giuseppina are both originally from Caserta, in the southern italian region of Campania, not far from Naples. They own and operate a small farm that grows vegetables and fruits. Commonly found items are swiss chard, tomatoes, eggplant, green beans, beets, potatoes, corn, collard greens, cucumbers, potted plants of large-leaf basil. When in season, the fruits are plums, peaches. In the fall, they have chestnuts. The leaves of the swiss chard has little holes made by insect bites, and it is an indication that if the insects like it, the farmers are not big users of pesticides. The stand is in the back parking lot of a former CinemaPlex, now used as a flea market. The stand is operational Sat & Sun, 8 AM - 2 PM.
