TWO LANEAnyone can list a stand. The hard part is being right.
There are other ways to find a farm stand. Here is the honest case for this one, including where it is weaker.
The problem with every other approach
Tells you it exists
A pin and a name, often years old. Nothing about whether anyone is there today, what is on the table, or whether the eggs went at eight.
Tells you it existed on Tuesday
Genuinely useful, and completely unsearchable a week later. You cannot ask it what is out right now within six miles of you.
Only the seller can be wrong
The page changes when the person selling remembers to change it. They are running a farm. It goes stale, and nothing in the system notices.
The buyers keep it honest
Every stand carries a score built from what people found after they drove out. The seller cannot touch it, and neither can we.
The tab you build at the table does two jobs at once.
Adding a jar as you pick it up is the quickest way to know what you owe at an honor box. It is also, in the same tap, what corrects the count for the next person down the road. The thing worth doing and the thing that keeps the app honest are one action, which is the whole trick.
- You get a running total, the stand’s own payment handles, and credit toward the stands near you.
- They get a count that is right without walking back out to the table.
- Everyone after you gets a number that moved because of a real trip.
- And it works with no signal, which is the condition half these roads are in.
Your stand may be on here before you are.
An empty map is no use to anybody, so we did not wait to be joined. We have been reading the signs at the end of the drive and the pages stands already keep, and putting what they say on the map, the name, what is usually out, roughly where to find it.
Those stands are marked unclaimed, and they say so plainly. Nothing pretends to be live: no hours we cannot vouch for, and no stock counts we invented. If one of them is yours, claim it and it is yours to run, the listing, the counts, the hours. Free, the same as every other stand.
If a listing of yours is wrong, or you would rather not be on here at all, one email takes it down. We would rather lose the pin than be the kind of directory that will not let go.
What we will and will not do
Some of these cost us money. They are the reason the rest of it works.
No paid placement, ever
The moment ranking can be bought, "closest and freshest" is a lie and the map stops being worth opening. It is the easiest money in this category and we are not taking it.
We are new, and the accuracy is thin
Listings we can seed. Accuracy needs people driving out before it means anything, and that part cannot be hurried. A stand nobody has been to yet carries no score, and we would rather show you that than invent one.
Worth a conversation?
If you run a stand, the first question we will ask is what would actually make you open the app.
