Country roadside stall by maggiemae

Country roadside stall

I found out via Facebook (marketplace) the this stall had raspberries for sale ..$2NZ per punnet. Too good to be true so we set out driving - it was about 60km return but a wonderful afternoon sojourn. The raspberries were fabulous and there were new potatoes, celery, herbs, garlic, eggs, huge spring onions!
Thankful for:
a lovely warm and still day in the country. I didn't want to leave
That is so amazing, what a wonderful idea. Here it would either perish in the heat or be stolen ;-)

@ludwigsdiana I know, - there are so many roadside stalls that depend on honesty boxes and lets hope they don't disappear!

Oh, I like the look of this stall - loads of lovely looking fresh herbs too! I'd have made the journey as well.

@jamibann And we bought all the raspberries there for sale She was busy at that time picking more raspberries. I did tell her that we bought them all!

@maggiemae My brother has an honesty box at his small vegetable farm down in Kent - he says you wouldn't believe the things people put in there (although most people are honest). They get foreign coins, paper IOUs, and old bits and pieces of stuff people don't want. Quite incredible really.

@jamibann That's when I use the word, "karma', Issi!

What a great idea. It probably cost you more in petrol than you saved on the purchases but the fruit and veg are fresh and you had a day out too

Everything looks lovely and fresh.

Oh what a nice way to spend an afternoon. Wonderful photo.

So nice! I've only seen one here and it's always empty. It's a "take a plant - leave a plant" stall.

What a wonderful way to do business! I’m so happy it works! Great shot of John as he “shops“!

Nice capture, Maggie.
There are many roadside stalls in our neighbourhood; we love to buy there.

What a great trip....the raspberries sound good value & more home grown produce, what’s not to love & a day out too! You would be ready for a change of scene Maggie! We have a few honesty boxes round here too, mostly eggs & milk but spoilt by thieving persons sometimes...there’s always some that take advantage.

@onewing That's true, Babs - we had thought of that but the ride into beautiful country and back on a lovely day was part of the enjoyment!

@happypat There was a huge field there, covered with white netting so that's probably where the raspberries are. We only saw one truck passing while we were there but maybe it is more neighbourly.

@grammyn Those raspberries are going to be breakfast for the next few days. We bought all the ones there!

Lovely box with fresh vegetables and fruit.

Great find and a great way to spend a day

@geertje It was - some lovely views over the countryside to enjoy as well!

@maggiemae I have to confess that is what caught my attention in your story. Just imagining eating fresh raspberries made my mouth water!
