buying veg by the side of the road

EstherH

Wish we had road side veg sellers. Living in a big city there's nothing like that. I suspect anything that was put out wouldn't last long and neither would the money. Esther x

I name everything and have been known to print off recipes too! And I always talk to my customers and tell them how to cook things, and frequently give people things for free if they haven't tried them before! Yesterday I gave hard up single dad courgettes and kohl rabi:) And all last winter I gave twins who lost their dad potatoes:)

I'm a bit in the back of beyond near the sugar factory. Most of my customers are old ladies and gents who live in the surrounding villages!(and you're right, age doesn't equal honesty!) Not alot of passing trade but I've grown a reputation for veg that tastes good, not always pretty!
I do hate it when I can't sell things when I grow something different!
Uchiki squash today, 50p sposed to taste like butternut, bet I'm eating it soon!
hgotsparkle pm me if you wanna find me! though there's alot of little roadside stalls round here:)

I love buying and looking at other peoples produce, could I ask where you are? im Acle way which im guessing isn't too far from you, we spend a fortune on veg, mainly me being pretty much vegetarian due to not really liking the texture of meat.

Probably best to either do this privately or not at all...as per the rules of MSE.

yea I know, been around this forum long enough to know the rules, just meant what kind of area especially if there's a few people selling stuff

Acle is miles away! I'm sure there must be some near you. There are some smallholdings and pick your owns left but not many, I noticed some advertised in the edp that did friut:)

oh i was thinking sugarbeat factory at cantley, that's a shame because I drive past there quite abit, think I might just go for some random drives through the country, that's how you normally come across people selling stuff
