When we had our rescue hens I would sell some surplus out the front... an older gentleman used to buy them regularly, they really were so much better than anything commercially produced, even the top organic eggs!

We do have a pub at the other end of the lane but I don't know if they would let me put anything up there.

It was slow at first, but after a few months when word got around, it became quite a busy little place. Honesty system is working well for us, and I occasionally find an IOU in the money tin which is always made up within a couple of days. My aim was to build it up slowly so that when we are retired we will have a steady customer base and some cash income each week. Recently I have dropped one day of paid work per week in lieu of the farm gate takings each week. Keeping it well stocked is keeping me busy too. Your produce looks wonderful.

They mainly sell eggs, jams and chutneys and surplus of vegetables.<br />I love the concept and I'm sure, before you know it, you'll be having a proper farm shop over at your place. :) xxx...xPatricia (La Chatte Gitane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03188119208339437700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-22324836483631437342016-07-05T04:13:52.234+01:002016-07-05T04:13:52.234+01:00Sounds very positive!
