I did an honor system food stand this year.  I did one last year too but this year I made a pretty stand that I think helped increase business.

Must the Honor System Farm Stand include consumables...

Or could the stand optionally feature naturally crafted yet inedible work: eg homemade goods or furniture, firewood, textiles, niche lumber, dyes, wooden utensils, toys, luffa gourds, seeds, artwork and the like?

I like that George but the way it's written, it needs to have food.  No reason it couldn't also have those other things but I think it needs to have food stuffs as a decent percentage of its purpose.  Say at least 1/3 food?
