## Resource

After nearly 50 years, McNeil’s Produce in Bellevue, Tennessee, is closing its doors due to soaring costs—fuel, permits, labor—that left the owner in the red. What began as a humble truck-side stand grew into a beloved neighborhood staple, filled with personal memories for David McNeil, who spent his childhood barefoot there. Longtime customers are heartbroken, describing it as essential to their family routines. Though David hasn’t ruled out a potential comeback if the economy rebounds, he’s pouring his heart into thanking the community for their loyalty and the friendships forged over decades.
