Honor System Farmer’s Market Runs on Trust

This is the best farmers market in Warrenton by far.Everything is fresh, comes from the valley or locally grown and Al is a super guy, treats everybody fair.That’s why it’s crowded here every day, seven days a week.I love coming here. I come here at least four times a week.Pick what you want, your price, you know. Everything is, I don’t know, I can’t say enough good things about this.I get some eggs and I put my money in the slot¹, and you know, sometimes I might be a dollar short, might be a dollar over. I pay it the next time.I started planting the few tomato plants and some sweet corn and things like this, and I had some extra tomatoes, and I started out on a very small table here.The table was probably four-foot by four-foot and I couldn’t be there all the time.And my front door here at the office here, I’m a real estate appraiser² by trade, and my front office here had a mail drop in it.And so, I started asking people simply to put the money, the change, for the tomatoes in the front door.I thought I was dreaming. I’ve never lived anywhere where there was such a strong honor system.And so I wanted to not only give him what I owed him, but I wanted to give more because I thought: wow, what kind of person is being so trustful.I don’t know if that’s like a particular thing to our region of America, like, particularly coming out of rural communities,but I feel like there has to be like a high level of trust in your community.It makes them feel good. I just trust them and they put the money in and it all works out, and actually, sometimes I think I have more money than what I should have.People want to be trusted and this is an open an open hand, open opportunity here to be trusted.And, I think, people enjoy that and they like that and they respond to it.And they tell other people about it and other people come here and we really don’t do any advertising³ at all.And it’s all word of mouth.

这是目前为止沃伦顿最好的农贸市场。一切食物都很新鲜，它们产自山谷或是当地种植。艾尔是一个非常棒的人，他对待每个人都很公平。所以这里每天挤满了人，一周七天都是如此。我喜欢来这里，我一周至少来四次。你可以选择你想买的东西，然后交钱，我觉得我对这里真的夸不够。我拿了一些鸡蛋，把钱放进投币口，有时候我可能会差一美元，有时候可能多给一美元，我会在下次把钱付齐。我一开始种植了一些西红柿、甜玉米和类似的东西，然后收获的西红柿有些多，我就在这张非常小的桌子上开始进行售卖。桌子大概有四乘四英尺那么大，但是我不能一直呆在那里。在我办公室的前门……我是一名房地产估价师，我的办公室前面有个信箱。所以我会让人们把买西红柿的钱放在前门那里。我觉得就像做梦一样，我从来没有住过有这么强的诚信制度的地方。所以我不仅想给他我应该付的钱，我还想多付一些，因为我觉得：哇，这个人真的太值得信任了。我不知道这对我们美国其它地区来说是不是一件特别的事情，特别是农村社区，但我觉得人们必须要对自己的社区有很高的信任。这让人们感觉很好，我就是非常信任他们，他们把钱放进去，就这么简单，实际上有时我觉得我收到了比应得的更多的钱。人们希望被信任，这给了人们一个开放的机会，让他们在这里感受到自己被信任。而且我觉得人们很喜欢这样，他们也会做出回应。他们会把这件事告诉其他人，然后其他人也会来这里，所以我们真的根本不用做任何广告。都是口碑相传。
