farmstands
Rural vegetable booths
Farmstands are roadside structures where farmers sell produce directly to customers.
They range from simple tables with an honor-system cash box to permanent buildings with refrigeration.
The appeal is freshness and local sourcing: We stopped at a farmstand for corn and tomatoes.
Also spelled as two words: farm stands.
