Hi Judy Our farm Stand is quite often self
serve. We have a metal box with a slit in the top for money. It is
bolted to the wall and has a padlock on the top so no one can get into
it. We have tried many different things, and had to resort to this
because of people stealing money. This way, they may be able to steal
produce but not money. We have from time to time left a jar with coin
change, for people to get change for a one or so, but that is it. The box
we use happens to be an old milk delivery box which fits four half gallons of
milk. We were fortunate to come across it. We have a digital scale
with clearly printed directions for using and a calculator or two for people to
use. For the most part our customers love to help themselves and will
write a check if they don’t have proper change. It is also very
important to have prices very clearly marked, because if not customers will
guess and it is usually on the low side of your price. We use 4x6 cards
with all prices directly in front of or beside the produce. Seems to work
much better than a price
board.

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Judy Would some of you share how you set up your on-farm stands
using the honor system? How do you let folks know about it without
risking unsavory types coming to dip in the till? Thanks, all ideas
appreciated. Thanks for all the sharing that's done by everyone on this
site! Judy |
