I live in a relatively rural area but the road by the house is a "main thoroughfare" from village to village

last year I put up a small self-serve stand to sell my honey and a few misc. things I make...closed for the winter, then, didn't plan to open until May but...

this week I shoveled a path to the stand, ordered a couple of commercial coffee urns and a "hot box"... the restaurants are closed in Vermont and so I am, along with my honey and misc. will be offering coffee, muffins, etc. for free (or donation) (I have a home bakery license)

I also make soap and will offer it if I can somehow keep the non food items separate
