Roadside farmstands are making a comeback. They have been around forever, more common in some places than in others. Growing up in New England, I saw a lot of self-serve apple stands, but they never provided anything close to one-stop shopping. Today, some of the farmstands where I live are getting pretty close.

This time of year, the corn is sweet and fresh—especially when you get it straight from the farmer. Make a meal out of it. Peppermint/Shutterstock
