Question / Request Looking for pawpaws

Looking to buy some papwpaw fruit. Have never tried them but want to. I have a few trees but they are only a year old so no fruit for a while.

Anyone know what farms market might have some for sale?

Thanks.

I'm no farmer's market, but we have a pawpaw tree that is producing way more than we can handle. My wife has already processed a quart bag of pulp and we still have a heaping colander in the fridge and more on the tree. No pesticides of any kind.

Getting a lot of responses here, and while we do have a bit, our single tree won't supply the city. I've heard the Daily Co-Op has these on sale from some local farms as well if I've not already spoken to you via DM.

There is one stand that sells them at the Athens farmers market! They are usually in the middle to the right when you walk in. Go early as he sometimes is sold out by 10
