MIT Produce Stand

CASH ONLY.
For $ 20, I was able to get a variety of fruit and vegetables. Whether you’re picking up your weekly staples or finding the veggie you need for a recipe, this place is for you. You can pick most of the items yourself, while others are pre-​bagged. The stand gets a good amount of business, but the line moves quickly.

5 stars, straight up, with no fuss, no muss. Why go all the way up to Russo’s, when I can just sit back and let Russo’s come to me? Place is mad busy between noon and two or so, tapers off as the afternoon wanes, and they might even knock down the prices after three or so, to move stuff out so they don’t have to move it back on to the trucks.
Prices are fairly competitive, quality and selection superior to other nearby markets (though previous poster is right, this is technically a produce stand), and the convenience (well, for me) can’t be beat.

Very convenient if you work or study at MIT. This stand has a pretty decent variety, even if some items are a little on the pricey side. Note that this is a produce stand, not a farmer’s market, so all of the produce is supplied by one vendor, meaning either you’re paying $ 4/​bunch for basil or you’re not buying basil. I think the Kendall Square Farmer’s Market trumps the MIT Produce Stand, both in terms of selection and quality, but I love the fact that we now have multiple options for fresh fruits and veggies near MIT!

I’ve eaten more veggies and fruits since its come to campus. IMHO, the best thing to happen to MIT dining. A fruit/​produce stand on MIT Campus on Tuesdays all day until sundown. The service is very friendly and towards the end of the day they sometimes give small discounts. The prices are competitive with the other grocery options further away. Makes it so I can bring a watermelon or a large bunch of kale home, and save my Shaws trip for less bulky things.
