ROADSIDE STANDS/PICK-YOUR OWN 



The following figures represent roadside marketers of vegetables, fruits, Christmas trees, maplesyrup, dairy 

 products, eggs, turkeys and other farm produce. Most farm stands are seasonal operations, however some 

 stands are lengthening thier marketing season with the addition of new products through farm-based food 

 processing. Pies, pre-cooked turkeys, apple cider and ice cream are examples of added-value processing which 

 enables farmers to diversify their product line.
