Yes, I know, not a typical yelp review, or for that matter, a place yelp can call to get advertising either. But, perhaps some will find it useful info none the less. On the corner of Rt 39 and Rt 20A in NY (near Leicester) there is a farm stand. In the Spring, Summer and Fall they have produce. You never really know what you will get there, its literally what the farmer drove in from the field that morning. So whatever is ripe and he felt like picking I guess. Recently they have had corn, which really is best if eaten the day its picked, forget Wegmans corn, find a farm stand or farmers market near you and get it that way. Just yesterday they had peaches and plums as well. Some gourds for the upcoming fall season. This is on the honor system. Prices are posted on a few boards, and you go from there. I never need 12 ears of corn, so I just divide by 3 for the 4 I do want. You can do the same. There is a black lockbox there for the money. I happened to be there when one of the farmers was dropping off the corn, so chatted with him for a moment. I have been driving by here for over a decade, and have often stopped by, always thought the honor system was terrific, and let him know that. He did say sometimes people don't pay, and once or twice they have had money stolen, but that for the most part this system worked well. This is a very safe place to stop, there is plenty of room for all cars and its very open and easy to see. So, if you are in the area, do yourself and your stomach a favor and stop here to see if there is anything of interest for you today. Forgot to mention, they also sell wood there, not something I buy, but I noticed it yesterday. I cant comment on the pricing of that, but I can say for 4.25 for 12 ears (+1 or 2 as the sign says) for corn, Im guessing the wood price is reasonable. The peaches were 2.50 for a small basket (and they are very good). And they have some plastic bags to make it easy for you to carry as well. I'm sure its obvious, but just in case, CASH ONLY. Correct change. read more
