You are in Canada aren't you? Martins is an acceptable brand in Canada.

As for a list of fruits and veggies, please see the Nutrition charts sticky thread and you may also want to check out the sample menu's sticky thread.

I couldn't find Oxbow right off either and Martin was recommended to me as an alternative (and a suprisingly affordable one), so long as the boys like it I'll probably stick to it.

I've since learned though that many of the small animal rescue societies (if you're out in Vancouver, the Vancouver Rabbit Rescue for example), sell Oxbow products (and various Hays also), as well as some exotic vets carry it (as well as Martins and some other suitably good brands). You might want to inquire at your local rescue. They at least give you an alternative to buying from the pet store (particularly if your pet store sells live animals).
