Preserving The Color Purple: Plum Produce, Boston

Everyone loves visiting Boston’s South End. Now, there’s one more reason: Plum Produce is a new food store that offers the best of a traditional, old fashioned New England farm stand amid a sleek urban marketplace. Here, you can buy fresh vegetables, herbs, dried fruits, and house-made preserves.

In fact, its owner, Barbara Lynch, calls it “the Clinique of farm stands.” Why? Because it features the same kind of fresh quality foods from local growers she uses in her restaurants — No. 9 Park, The Butcher Shop, B&G Oysters and Niche Catour catering.
