I honestly don’t remember where I got my mesh produce bags but probably from Amazon.  There are several more environmentally friendly options that are made from cotton instead of a plastic mesh.  I got mine before I understood the dangers of microplastics.  Just google mesh produce bags to find some options.  A couple of options are www.ecobags.com, www.simpleecology.com, www.seekbamboo.com and www.4ocean.com.
