Ahh...Autumn approaching on Nova Scotia's South Shore, and an early morning drive led us past roadside farm stands with gorgeous selections for cooking and canning! Sadly, we'd never see this in California...an honor-system money box sitting there and a bounty of fruit and vegetables to select! It just is what it is...it's the Truth. We brought back corn on the cob, a green pepper, jalapanos, 2 bags of pears, more large tomatoes, and from a yard sale, a couple of nice sized bowls for a quarter each plus a bag full of canning jars for $2. We took another hour to stop for coffee with a friend before heading home and this afternoon Ken is making a rhubarb (from our garden!)-pear crisp. Dinner will be curried corn, sliced tomatoes and grilled chicken! Who needs a restaurant when we can eat like kings and save photos to remember it by this winter!
Beautiful but true, sometimes we see something like this here on the CA border with OR but only if it’s free, the money box would be stolen. My friend put out a table covered with old video tapes marked free, they knocked off the tapes and took the table.
I remember seeing the wonderful farm produce on sale when we were driving around the Lunenburg area! Especially the large green tomatoes! What a taste sensation when you introduced me to fried green tomatoes! So many photo opportunities and the promise of delicious meals!
A lovely selection, we get it a lot around here, over the moors it’s eggs with an honesty box and in a village near us it was home grown veg and eggs with an honesty box. The honesty box always did quite well if you hadn’t the right change so always dropped in more than the cost.
we still have these here, but you wouldn't try it in town (and I bet the owners have to constantly check and empty those boxes so they hold little). I love how old that box looks demonstrating it has been a safe place for a long time
Little sales at the farm becomes more populair this day`s in our country. Great shot of this one. Fav.
(If I could do it all over againg will I do the same? I doubt it. But making mistakes are learnings of life. It`s no help to regret this.)
@pandorasecho Thanks for sharing in letting people know! I should be shocked to read this, but it's so typical as to almost be expected. Such tragic times in our wonderful country!
@tunia Do you think THAT hasn't also been dinner for us some nights? My college favorite (because I could keep it in my room) was Saltines with PB&J... Still love them! (I have to wait to be back in the states so I can get Jif, my very favorite! Nothing sold here comes close..."Kraft Peanut Butter"??? no)
