You can read it as Where are you going to buy fresh fruit? (future time) or (To) Where are you going to buy fresh fruit. In the latter case a dónde might be more correct. (¿A dónde vas para comprar frutas frescas?)
¿Dónde compras frutas frescas? would be closer to your translation.

¿Dónde trabajas? – Where do you work?
¿Dónde vas a trabajar? – Where are you going to work?
How about these? Am I getting the hang of it now?

The ir+a+infinitive periphrasis usually refers to future time rather than "where are you going to" (adónde). So yours is Where will you be working? (future) - 0074b507, Nov 8, 2010
