Take what you need. Leave what it's worth.

A plain-English guide for Ireland's roadside honesty boxes: how to price stock, stop theft, take card payments, and keep a self-serve stall running well. Written while setting one up ourselves, in Waterford.

Join the early list Why this exists
The gap

Plenty of sites help you find a box. None help you run one.

Ireland already has good directories for locating farm gate stalls and honesty boxes around the country. What's missing is the other side: help for the person putting the box out in the first place.

What exists today

Maps and directories that list where honesty boxes are, for people out looking to buy.

What doesn't

Guidance for the person running the box: pricing, payments, theft, and keeping stock safe.

The five things to know

Five guides, one topic each

Short, practical write-ups, tested against a real box before they're published, not theory.
