- Come with me as I shop at three different farm stands for some fresh veggies! It's great to support your local farmers and the produce is nearly as fresh as if you grew it yourself :)

... NICE VIDEO ... VERY RESPECTFUL COMMENTS TOWARDS THE FARMERS & THEIR STANDS ... LOVE YOUR "WISCONSIN ACCENT" ...
So glad you showed these I want to do one at my house some day, so I am glad to see the different ones. Thanks
I hope you have a successful stand. People LOVE them :)
Welcome back. Farm Fresh... The only way. God Bless you.
Fresh produce is the best👍🍏🍅🌶🥕🥦🍓🌽
Great to See You!🌹
We love shopping at farmers markets and stands. Recently we started to notice some "farm stands" are not truly farmer produce outlets. We stopped at one place along the highway, that wasn't at a farm. The sign said "Farmer's Produce". When asked where their farm is located, the lady said that they aren't farmers. Their name is Farmer, so they opened "Farmer's Produce", and buy from the produce wholesalers. We've also come across people selling wholesale produce at summer farmer markets. A little underhanded, if you ask me. But, buyer beware. Now, we always ask about the farm, to make certain we're buying farm produce.
Yes, buyer beware!
Cabin Life with Glenn & Maureen So disheartening. I visit the farmer’s markets to get farm-grown produce.
That's what's great about living in the country!
Visiting roadside farm stands is one of my favorite things to do here in Western Pennsylvania. We live near a lot of Amish so we also have an assortment of baked goods at the stands. I have a weakness for Amish donuts, they usually draw me in when I see the signs out. LoL
I hope you are well and I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
thanks 👍👍
Nice to see you out and about lady 👍😊
I sure wish we had farm stands like that here. Our "Farmers Markets" are simply where people get together to sell cases of produce they bought from the same place supplying the grocery stores. None of them are actually grown by the people selling them so you have no idea about their quality or what chemicals were used on them.
Missed you, hope you start doing more vlogging again. My garden is not the best but God does provide. Time of year I am getting worried about getting my pantry filled for winter.
I hope you have enough or can get fresh at a reasonable cost.
I keep praying it is going to happen. Most people don't understand me, they say just go to the store and buy it. Chemicals has landed me in the hospital and I will not just eat anything. I have a organic farm close but can't buy much. God will provide and I will make it some how on what we have. Thank you for caring.
Welcome back.
Good to see you again...I Pray things are more at ease for You and You will soon be back regular!!!! You are a very Sweet and Beautiful Determined Lady!!! Blessings to You and Yours!!!
We have a farmstand on our farm and do the honor system as well. Have had some great repeat customers and neighbors who stop by often. Right now its a simple tent and table like in the video but as time progresses we hope to build a dedicated building as a farm market. We are in Kentucky and sell at our local farmers market in town which is good for now but as our farm grows, hopefully our customer base will too and a farmstand on site, that pulls customers to our farm and generates income is the goal. Great video, thanks for posting.
Are you thinking of ever doing a csa? I'm sure your area neighbors would be more than pleased to buy what you grow however you offer it 😊
You're back!! So great to see you. I hope you've been well and things are settling down in all good ways for you.
Love the farm fresh stands. Good to see you Sandra.
Not sure if you remember me, but you came to my shop for saw dust about month ago. I enjoyed talking to you that day. I just wanted to let you know that my brother and I put a veggie stand outside the shop. Glad to see you are making videos again.
Yes, I sure do remember you! I enjoyed talking with you too, and was so happy to get the sawdust. What are the hours for your stand? I'd love to stop by.
It just sitting there. You can go anytime.
Nice to see you! I really enjoy farmers markets, they are the same here in eastern Canada
Very nice video! Those honor system boxes sadly would not work where I live! The first time I’d heard of something similar was when my daughter was younger and we went to my parents home in SC over Halloween and so many houses had a big bowl of candy on the porch with a note: ‘please take one’ 😂 I was so taken back! I mean even me as a kid would be so tempted to take a handful!
😆
Wow those are good deals. :)
I live se of Atlanta. The family i bought from for 30 years had to retire. He'd go to the large farmers market, get a large load and sell it at a nice stand close to my house. So someone picked up were he left off but the quality isn't 1/2 as good. Another place, in Kellytown is pretty large. Very hot inside like a sauna! But he sells great stuff. Peaches melt in your mouth. Takes debit etc, has a small refrigerator for more delicate produce. Huge bins of watermelon. Just about every thing you can imagine.
Sounds nice!
Good Morning Sandra😁🤗
Good morning!
Thank you for letting us tag along with you just loved seeing those fresh vegetables especially tomatoes my favorite
Brenda B. Mine too!
In my little town, we have four different farmer's markets. I love farm stands, but have only found them in pretty rural areas. It always surprises me to find them set up on the honor system, but I'm told they seldom come up short on the money. Or if they're short $5 one day, they might be long $5 a few days later - I guess someone used the honor system to borrow some veggies and pay later. I'm not sure that system would work so well in town, but I'd be curious to know how it goes, if anyone has any experience with that.
bsofar I'm in southern Indiana. I stop often at these stands on our back roads. Most all of them here have honor boxes. Some don't even lock them. I opened one the other day to pay for my purchase and it was full of money. I stopped the next day to get more tomatoes and the owner was there, putting out more vegetables. I ask if he had any trouble with getting shorted or even people stealing his money. He said no one had ever stolen money and most people even leave a little more than they owe. I normally leave a dollar or two extra, especially when their prices and quality are good. Most stands here are very reasonable on prices. I got ripe red tomatoes for 25 cents each big bags of green beans for $2.00. And small pears-2 for a quarter. Tomatoes average $1-$2 a pound. Fresh sweet corn-$2-$3 a dozen. The quality is normally very good at these stands and cheaper than the store. I love shopping at them. Never know what they will have out. Most of the time no one is watching the stand. But when they are they are always very friendly. I've even had them run to the garden to pick something I was wanting if there were no more on the table. I encourage all people to buy from these local sellers. Friendly service, good prices and usually very good quality food.
The honor system is very interesting. We have two local people who sell from their homes but the food comes from the farmer's market. A couple of larger established ones a bit farther out too. once a year one of our local strawberry field becomes a you pick. The folks who collect the money, wear side arms in shoulder holsters. They were robbed a few years ago and want to prevent it from happening again. We also have u-pic grapes and blueberries. no honor system though. it is good to see you. God Bless
Good to see you back, Sandra. Best wishes.
Great to see you out and about. We have Farmers Markets here in Ohio. They are on the weekends, 11am-2pm, tables to rent a space are $5. Veggies, Meats and Cheeses and Crafters
Hi hun nice to get out for a drive in the countryside.I love farm fresh produce it tastes great.I love beets and put salt on them to eat.Lavender flowers are soo pretty and smell great.I usually get a small watermelon,and a big bag of oranges and apricots for fruits.Up in Winter's Ca.just a little ways up the road going towards Putah Creek they have a great fruit stand with all kinds of fruit and vegees.Also there are farmers just om the side of the highway getting off the exit selling watermelons,and at a gas station selling bags of fresh sweet oranges.We have Farmer's markets here in Berkeley and cities next to us selling nice produce.I can't find an Apple in the stores that has a good apple taste.Farmer's market's are more expensive here ,but it's worth it for the nutritional and the taste value to pay a little more for it.Soo nice to see you hun.I hope everything is going very well for you these days.You are looking well.God Bless and thanks for the trip to the farmer's stands.Hope you got a bunch of good vegees and fruits you enjoy.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.....

I live in NC, in a farming community. The local farms have stands by the road in some areas, but also have you-pick areas on their farms with 'stores' in their barns during peak season. The roadside stands are cash only (internet is still 'iffy' in some areas, even with MiFi). I will have to check to see if the "barn stores" accept SNAP cards or not.
Renn Sea 😃 I may be moving to NC in the Fall so this makes me happy to read! 🍅🥕🎃🍂
J.C. If you are moving to Eastern NC, we have a larger Farmers Market in Raleigh. My family and I try to go a few times every year. It is well worth the trip.
You look wonderful my friend. Sending prayers and hugs, it's nice to see you smile. :)
Have been watching your catalogue of older videos. Such interesting topics. Thanks
Thanks, for sharing. Love it(and the boxes). Were in WI. also..
Whereabouts in WI are you located?
North of EC.
Hello great seeing you out and about and back on the channel. We missed you. Have a wonderful day.
Great video thank you for sharing 😊 💕💕 💕👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍
I can't believe these prices! WOW!!!
At a less expensive store the other day, one cucumber was $1.50! So needless to say I did not make the purchase.....🌹 Onions are a little better, but nothing compared to these prices.
Yes, farmers often underprice their produce.
Thank you for the great video. Hope you're doing alright. God bless you.
Welcome back lady! It's so good to see you. We have farmers who sell from their farms, roadside stands, sometimes they just sell from the backs of their pickups, & farmer's markets. Xs
was just at SunnySide on Friday lol
Great to see you again. Live in Kansas city with no transportation at the moment but love to visit farmers markets when I can. Thanks for sharing. Becky
Good to see you Val, thanks for the vlog. I have not hit one market yet this year. I hope to but just haven’t . The season is going very fast. God Bless you see ya next time. Hugs
Welcome back, been thinking about you and watching for your videos. I live in south central Pa. and we also have a lot of road side stands, plus indoor markets, just so many places to buy local produce. Most have someone attending the stand, rather than the lock box.
Hi Sandra, here in Eastern Idaho they get together every Saturday and have a Farmers Market all day.
Thanks for taking us out in the Wisconsin countryside. I love the scenery. The farm stands are nice, we don’t really have those where I live, in SW Idaho. I have thought of putting out a table with a few things and a box for money, but I have wondered about the teenagers down the street helping themselves to the money. We do have a recently organized farmer’s market a couple blocks away in our tiny town, so that’s really nice. And we have others in neighboring towns as well.
glad to see you and hope you're doing well
I live in Southern California, I have yet to see a fruit stand that hasn't already been commercialized to the point where it isn't worth stopping. Most of the prices are the same at the grocery store or higher, (if you can find any). I'm not looking for cheap; but, fresh at a decent price. :-(
Oh, that's too bad....
Well my point is enjoy what you have and where you have it. If your garden didn't produce the harvest you wanted or the vegetables you needed to can then go out there and pick up a harvest from your friends and neighbors and can that. Be greatful for what you have and what you save, for the times are a changing. :-)
Here in the 🇬🇧 farm shops are big business.........usually much better food but not for cheap
