In a similar vein I visited Cyprus some years ago. In the middle of nowhere was a shaded spot with a few tables, a fridge and a plastic tub. You took a beer out of the fridge and put the money in the tub. That was how it worked.

There are fruit stands that operate like this in Kauai, Hawaii. Seems like an excellent indicator of a hippie-like culture :) By the way, I've noticed that people in both Kauai and Cyprus were super chill and honest, probably not a coincidence.

I lived in a city where Little Free Library system worked really well. There were library boxes all over the city. You take a book and you leave a book. Or bring it back next time. Or put it in the different box. There were people who scavanged those libraries for books they could sell, but overall the system worked well. There was always something random to take and read, something you'd normally not read, but because it was there and it was free I read many books I otherwise wouldn't have.

  Quite a lot of the old red phone boxes in the UK have been turned into these. They work great. We have one in our nearest park.

  There are plenty of those around Versailles. They are always full, I had a hard time stuffing books there when I had spare ones.

I just moved to New England. There are firewood, egg and produce stands everywhere like that. When my new flock of chicks is laying, we'll probably do the same (we don't eat the eggs or the chickens, we just like the pets). Part of our property is a blueberry field and our neighbor is going to let us run a upick through their property, since it's closer to our field than our house is. I love communities like this.

  Good find, enjoy the community and the overall experience.
