It’s fresh , it’s good , it’s close by and its at least half the price you would have to pay after a drive to town…………it’s fruit and veggies and other interesting stuff at any one of our local roadside stalls. Why not save the planet, save some time , then save some money and contribute to the survival of one of our local endangered species; the battling farmer.
For lots of reasons it’s a good idea to buy your fruit, veggies and stuff from one of our local roadside stalls, honestly.
Over the next few editions the Gazette will be looking at the roadside stalls around the place and writing up what they have to offer. This edition of the Gazette looks at Bob’s Roadside Stall on Duncan Road.
Bob’s been a farmer for a thousand years and with so much experience he’s able to keep lots of fresh fruit and veggies on his stall. He’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Next time you’re passing, be sure to check Bob’s stall out for:
• Unbeatable freshness with just 2 minutes transport by Shank’s pony from the paddock to the stall. No freighting by semi-trailer burning diesel fuel for thousands of kilometres up and down this big country looking for a supermarket.
• Most convenient location by the side of the road with a grassy short walk from car to the stall. Parking spaces always available. Never have to go around the block again looking for a parking space. Watch out for the ditch.
• Best prices anywhere with no packaging; no freight charges; no selling agent’s fees; no added levies. Have plenty of change handy.
Beats me how Bob keeps all those fruit and veggies coming…an Herculean effort.
To keep prices way down low all of our roadside stall keepers cleverly keep overheads to a minimum by offering no packaging, no aircon, no flash sign writing, no expensive shopfronts and no personal service. Its help yourself from the bench or box at the front gate and put your payment in the tin. No change given.
The whole thing hinges on honesty though…..as in all aspects of life the more people act honestly the more everyone wins.
