farm stand
Roadside vegetable stall
A farm stand is a small roadside structure where farmers sell produce directly to customers, typically fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, or flowers.
Farm stands range from unstaffed tables with honor-system payment boxes to staffed seasonal shops: We stopped at a farm stand for corn and tomatoes.
The term evokes local, fresh food sold near where it was grown.
