Notes -
Those vegetable stands that farmers put up at the side of the road, as though they were thinking "Would someone do such a thing? Just take stuff without paying for it?", were one of the most beautiful things I've seen when I was in Bavaria.
We have flower fields just like that. You go in, pick flowers, then pay at a piggy bank. Seems idyllic, right? They felt the need to put up a security camera.
There's a farmer's store, integrated into the farm building itself, in the next village. Used to be you'd walk in through the open door, take what you like, calculate the sum you need to pay, then put it into a piggy bank and walk out again with your goods. They recently had to install an electronic lock that only opens to valid debit cards.
These things are fragile. All it takes is one flagrant defector, and they cease to be viable.
Unmanned vegetable stands have become rare. The only ones I still see regularly are for potatoes.
