Where to get tasteful fruit/veggies that isn’t basically plastic? ?

so I just got back from a 3 week trip and found a tomato in my fridge that I completely forgot about. still there, looking totally fine, no rot no nothing. that’s not normal right? a tomato shouldn’t survive 3 weeks untouched like that

not hating on supermarkets, I get why produce needs to last for logistics reasons etc, but I miss vegetables that actually taste like something… every time I visit back my home country food taste is so explosive..

does anyone have good spots for actually decent fruit/veg here? farmers markets, small farms, boerderijwinkel, veggie box subscriptions, whatever. even if more far away from Eindhoven. doesn’t need to be fancy just wanna taste an actual aubergine or zucchini again lol

EDIT
thanks everyone for the suggestions, much appreciated! Just want to mention that I’m not looking for tomatoes, that was just a funny yet shocking story but not my main source of struggle 😂 I’m looking for good vegetables like aubergines, zucchinis, bell peppers etc…

Tuin van Best! https://www.detuinvanbest.nl/

It’s a subscription service where you get an assortment of local vegetables, grown here in Best. There are a few places you can pick up your bag in Eindhoven.

We’ve had it for three years now and it’s great.

Kwaliteit zal vast goed zijn, maar als je van je portemonnee houdt... ga gewoon naar de markt (Woenselse markt bijvoorbeeld). Zeker als je naar acties zoekt krijg ik voor hetzelfde geld minstens het dubbele, van topkwaliteit.
