Roadside Honor

A Field Guide to America’s Farmstands

These farmstands are
built on trust,
homegrown generosity,
and beauty found
where you least expect it.

A photographic love letter to one of America’s most quietly charming traditions: the honor-system farm stand.

From jam jars on folding tables to fresh eggs tucked into coolers by the ditch, Roadside Honor is a slow-paced wander through fields, gravel roads, and the generosity of strangers. This is a place where trust is the currency, and a handmade sign might be your only clue that something special is just around the bend.

We’re documenting the humble, the homemade, and the hand-painted—one roadside stop at a time, across the country.
