How the honor box works
Nobody minds the stand. That's the point. Three steps, and you're back on the road.
-
Pick what you want
Bags and pint boxes are under the counter. Eggs live in the cooler on the left.
-
Tally it up
Prices are on the board. There's a pencil and a scrap pad on a string if you want to add it on paper.
-
Pay the box, or tap
Cash goes in the locked box (exact change helps). Card or phone works on the tap reader by the scale.
Want it packed for you? The weekly farm box runs June to October: a pre-packed share with your name on it, waiting on the shelf every Thursday.

- From the county road, turn at the white church onto Furrow Lane (sample address).
- Stay on the gravel past the red barn and the big maple.
- The stand is at the very end, where the gravel meets the field. Pull right in: room for six cars and a turnaround for trailers.
