There are road side stands every couple of miles around the country side. Some are at the end of Amish drives set up in the grass or wagons. Others may have small buildings and then there are the ones that are small markets. I wanted some pumpkins and mums, so we went to one a couple of days ago to see what I could find. This one had a small building and was a stopping spot for some of the buggy tours. They had mums, pumpkins, gourds, and all kinds of baked goods. They also had homemade root beer.
They had mums 3 for $10 and they were huge plants and in full bloom. They had pumpkins for anywhere from $1 to $3. I picked out a couple of pumpkins about the size of soccer balls for $1 each. We set the mums and pumpkins behind the car so I could check out the backed goods. While I was doing that the owners little boy (maybe 2 years old) started setting mini guards with our things. His mother said we didn't have to buy them, but Vern told her it was OK. They were 4 for $1, but he had only put 3 with our things, so Vern told him we needed 1 more and he went and got it for us. He was so cute. We also got a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread and a small peach pie. That bread and pie was so good.
