Mansfield resident Carolyn Estes looks over the produce selection at The Fruit Stand on U.S. Highway 278 at Elks Club Road before purchasing a basket of Georgia-grown tomatoes. Proprietors, left to right, Tracy Vater, Shelly McIntyre and Regan Vater, with assistance from 10-year-old Dawson McIntyre, admit business has been hurt by the recent salmonella scare. The most recent updates, however, on the Federal Drug Administration Web site say tomatoes grown in Georgia have not been linked to the salmonella outbreak and are safe for consumption. The Fruit Stand produce comes from the Georgia State Farmer's Market and has been open for business seven days a week since May 12.
