1. Hvor mange vogne vi så hen ad vejene Nordjylland.
2. Hvor mange mennesker stopper at få frugter og grøntsager og FAKTISK betaler! (Husk, jeg kommer fra Amerika!!!)
3. Hvor godt priserne er sammenligne med købmand!
4. Hvor lækre mine æbler var som vi købte!
All over North Jutland you can buy fresh eggs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables from a cart in front of a farmer´s house along the road. Except you NEVER see the farmer! Because here in Denmark, farmers and their customers still believe "honesty is the best policy!" Each cart has a little box where you pay for what you take. Yesterday we stopped to buy apples from a farmer´s cart and 4 things amazed me:
1. How many carts we saw along the roads in North Jutland.
2. How many people stop at get fruits and veggies and ACTUALLY pay! (Remember, I come from America!!!)
3. How good the prices are compared to the grocery store!
4. How delicious my apples that we bought are!
Vogne ligesom er over hele det! Carts like this are everywhere!
Lige penge, tak! Exact change, please!
"Ja, hun er en udlænding!" "Yes, she is a foreigner!"

its the cheapest organic food one can find in Denmark. i adore those roadside farmer stalls.
I've seen and bought from these. The whole concept is one of the things that is really and truly great about Denmark. I hope it doesn't change!
Yummy!!
I see these everywhere, but never have actually gotten anything.

Ooh too bad we don't have that here :( No farmers here :((
I don't think they have that in Zealand...that's too bad because I like farmer's produce.
We actually have those in Texas too! Today I went down the country road to Ms. Willis' produce market (side of the road) and she was out - sign on the counter - 'take what you need and leave the money.' I did that and wrote her a check and attached it to a clothes pin.....You Danes don't have anything on us Texans. Kelli you should have gotten out of the big city more often. Love ya!
Maybe you could start your own stand Kelli! You could hoist a Texas flag and sell all your great "cream of" etc. soups!
You might not believe me, but there are carts like this in America... well, in New Jersey.... ok, more specific as in South Jersey. Maybe that's because New Jersey is the Garden State. But the eggs were surprising to see and I like the Danish flag flying on the cart.
