Bellview Produce

In Bellevue at a modest grey house are modest racks and bins of great produce. It’s a bit smaller than the Sylvan Park house which is site of the popular Produce Place, but still stocked with basic farm fresh fruits and veggies. Of course some produce like bananas come from a distance but much is from our neck of the woods. Mike Baudinot’s store is conveniently near the I-​40 Old Hickory exit, so for West Nashy neighbors Bellview Produce is easy to visit. You will know the owner when you see him since Baudinot is a down-​home big teddybear of a man. The mouthful of juicy goodness when I bit into one of his red ripe Jetsetter tomatoes was blissful. I love the fresh okra and also like the Tennessee maple syrup, raw honey, cane sorghum and preserves here. Sometimes the bottles of Mrs. Renfro’s Salsa sell out, but when her spicy product is in stock it’s a good buy for garnish or dipping. In closing I must say that blackberries in Bellevue are best at Baudinot’s Bellview Produce.
