There is a similar Kurbis Markt on Schoenenbergstrasse in Waedenswil, complete with the honor system Kasse and beautiful pumpkins of all sorts. (There is also a fruit and vegetable market most of the year.) I have a problem when I don't have the exact change for my purchase, so I end up with my purchase and a small donation!

That stand is so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Lovely lovely lovely! I can't think of any bad honor system experiences. The level of trust and feeling of security that accompanies is definitely one of my favorite things about Switzerland.

Honesty-box stalls are around in Australia and New Zealand too, though some people do try to steal and get caught on hidden cameras (and then confronted) after the owners realise that not everyone is paying. Have you ever looked around for a hidden camera? I must say though, that the pumpkin display is totally charming :D

I was completely astonished the first time I saw a stand like this, unsupervised in the middle of nowhere. That's how it should be everywhere, right? In Brazil it's so, so far from that, that some people don't even believe it when I tell them. Congratulations for your beautiful country, Romy!
