Roadside Stall is a mobile and web platform built to help people discover local food, farm shops, fresh produce, vending machines, farm events, campsites and rural sellers across the UK.
Despite the name, Roadside Stall is not limited to small roadside stalls or honesty boxes. It is built for local food producers of every size β from home growers and farm gate sellers to farm shops, butchers, dairies, vending machine networks, events and multi-location agricultural businesses.
Roadside Stall connects consumers with local producers through one connected mobile and web ecosystem.
Roadside Stall helps customers search for local food, browse active offers, view producer profiles, follow farms, receive notifications, open directions to exact map pins and contact producers directly.
Producers can create a public profile, add offers, manage locations, list events, promote campsites, share direct links, receive messages and build a following outside social media algorithms.
Find food, farms, offers, events and campsites by location, category and intent.
Discover real producer locations and open directions to exact map pins.
Follow farms and offers to receive app and web notifications.
Customers and producers can communicate directly inside Roadside Stall.
Roadside Stall is not only for honesty boxes or small roadside sellers. It is designed to support local food producers, rural sellers and agricultural businesses of many different sizes.
Home growers, surplus produce sellers, honesty boxes, roadside stalls and farm gate sellers can create a simple public profile and be found by local customers.
Farm shops, butchers, bakeries, apiaries, dairies, pick-your-own farms and artisan producers can promote offers, locations, events and direct contact options.
Milk vending machines, egg machines, meat collection points and self-service sales locations can be listed with exact map pins and specific offers.
Larger producers with several farm shops, collection points, vending machines, market locations or pop-up sales points can manage more than one location from one profile.
A producer may sell from a farm gate, a shop counter, a vending machine, a market stall, a campsite, a collection point, a delivery route or their own online shop. Roadside Stall is built to help customers understand what is available, where it is available and how to contact or buy from the producer directly.
Roadside Stall gives customers detailed search, sorting and filtering tools designed around how people actually look for local food, farm shops, offers, rural places and delivery options.
Customers can search by keyword and discover both offers and producer profiles. They can look for specific products, farm names, seller types, categories or local food terms such as raw milk, meat boxes, fresh eggs, honey, farm shops or vending machines.
Results can be refined with filters and sorting options, including nearest, recently added, popular and cheapest. Customers can also browse offers only, profiles only, events, campsites and free offers.
This helps people search for exactly what they need β whether that is a product available today, a nearby producer, a short-time deal, a farm event or a rural place to visit.
Eggs, dairy, cheese, ice cream, meat, cold cuts, game, vegetables, fruit, honey, jams, preserves, sauces, juices, fish, flour, herbs, spices, baked goods and more.
Farm shops, butchers, vending machines, honesty boxes, home producers, farm gate sales, bakeries, apiaries, milkmen, fishermen, pick-your-own farms, events, campsites and rural sellers.
Customers can filter by local pickup, local delivery, national courier, international courier and producers with their own external shop links.
Search by keyword, browse offers only or profiles only, view events and campsites, find free offers, use specific tags, and sort results by nearest, recently added, popular or cheapest.
Local food businesses often sell from more than one place. Roadside Stall is built for that reality β not just for a single pin on a map.
A producer can manage different sales points from one account, such as a main farm, farm shop, raw milk vending machine, honesty box, market stall, collection point, campsite or seasonal pop-up.
Offers, events and campsites can be connected to the correct location, so customers know where something is actually available and where they need to go.
The main producer profile and core public business identity.
A physical shop, counter or rural retail location customers can visit.
Raw milk, eggs, meat, milkshakes or other self-service sales points.
A place where customers can collect pre-arranged orders or offers.
Temporary or regular market locations linked to a producer.
Farm camping, glamping, rural stays or visitor locations.
Whether a producer has one honesty box or several vending machines across a county, Roadside Stall can help organise locations, offers and visibility in one connected place.
Roadside Stall helps local food spread naturally between people. When someone finds a farm, offer, event or campsite they like, they can share it directly with friends, family or customers.
Inside the Roadside Stall app, users can use the share button at the bottom of the screen to share producer profiles, live offers, events and campsites.
This makes it easy for customers to recommend a farm shop, send a meat box offer to a friend, share a raw milk vending machine location, promote a rural event or pass on a campsite link.
If the person receiving the link does not have the app installed, they can be redirected to download Roadside Stall from Google Play or the App Store. After opening the link through the app, they are taken to the exact profile, offer, event or campsite that was shared.
Send someone directly to a producer profile, farm shop, vending machine operator or rural business.
Share fresh eggs, meat boxes, raw milk, milkshakes, honey, veg boxes, flash sales or back-in-stock offers.
Pass on farm open days, farmersβ markets, food festivals, family days and rural events.
Send direct links to farm campsites, rural stays, glamping spots and countryside places.
Share links help Roadside Stall grow through real recommendations. A customer can discover something useful, share it instantly, and help another person open the same place inside the app instead of starting the search again from zero.
Roadside Stall includes a built-in QR code scanner, helping customers open farm profiles, offers, events and campsites quickly β without having to search manually.
When someone finds a Roadside Stall QR code on a sign, leaflet, stall, farm gate, product label or social post, they can scan it inside the app.
After scanning, the app shows a small confirmation window with the farm or listing name. The user can then open the profile, offer, event or campsite, or scan again if needed.
This makes QR codes useful for farm shops, honesty boxes, vending machines, market stalls, events, campsites and printed promotional materials.
Scan a QR code and open a producer profile directly inside Roadside Stall.
Open a specific offer, such as eggs, meat boxes, raw milk, milkshakes, honey or seasonal produce.
Scan event QR codes and open farm open days, food markets, family days or rural events.
Open farm campsites, rural stays, glamping spots or campsite listings from a QR code.
Customers can also use the QR scanner when visiting an honesty box, vending machine or other producer location where the farmer has provided their own QR code for payment. In that case, the QR code can take the customer to the producerβs own payment page, website or checkout system.
Roadside Stall does not process those payments. The payment page, provider, prices and checkout process belong to the producer.
Roadside Stall is not just a place to list a farm once. It helps producers build followers and keep interested customers updated when new offers, events or stock changes appear.
Customers can follow their favourite producers and tap the bell to receive updates when something new is added.
Customers can follow individual offers and be notified if a product disappears, sells out and later comes back into stock.
Producers can use short-time offers for limited stock, 24-hour deals, 48-hour offers or seasonal products available for a short time.
App users can receive push notifications on their phones when followed farms add new offers or updates.
Logged-in website users can also receive notifications inside the Roadside Stall web platform.
Customers can ask questions directly inside the platform without having to leave Roadside Stall.
Many local food offers move quickly. Fresh eggs, raw milk, meat boxes, milkshakes, seasonal produce, farm shop offers and short-time deals may only be available for a limited time.
Roadside Stall helps producers reach people who have already shown interest, instead of relying only on Facebook, Instagram or other platforms to decide whether a customer sees an update.
Active producers can use offers, followers, notifications, messenger and share links to keep their local audience closer to what is happening right now.
Roadside Stall helps customers discover what is available, where it is located and how to contact or buy from the producer directly.
Roadside Stall is not a supermarket, payment processor or centralised online checkout. Producers remain in control of their own prices, stock, payment methods, collection rules, delivery options and customer communication.
Some producers offer local pickup. Some are by appointment only. Some offer local delivery. Some use courier delivery. Others sell through their own online shop or payment page.
Roadside Stall supports direct producer discovery, enquiries and external shop links, but it does not process in-app purchases, take customer payments or manage customer orders.
Customers can find farms, shops, vending machines, collection points or sales locations where pickup may be available.
Some producers are not open for walk-in visits and may require customers to arrange a visit or collection first.
Listings may include local delivery, national courier, international courier or other delivery arrangements set by the producer.
Producers can direct customers to their own website, online shop, payment page or checkout system when they use one.
Roadside Stall helps customers find local producers, offers and places. Buying, payment, collection and delivery are arranged directly with the producer.
No. Roadside Stall is not an in-app checkout or payment processor. Customers use the platform to discover producers, offers, events, campsites and locations, then contact or buy from the producer directly.
No. Roadside Stall does not take customer payments, hold funds, manage refunds or process orders. Any payment method, payment page, online shop or checkout belongs to the producer.
Roadside Stall gives producers tools to be found: public profiles, live offers, exact map pins, events, campsites, QR codes, share links, messenger, followers, notifications and multi-location management.
Customers can use the producer profile, offer page, messenger, contact details, website link, external shop link or QR code provided by the producer. The final arrangement is made directly with that producer.
Roadside Stall is built for mobile discovery, but it also gives producers public web visibility. Profiles, offers, events and campsites can be opened, shared and discovered outside the app too.
Verified producers can have public profile pages showing their business, location, contact options, offers and useful customer information.
Individual offers can have their own public pages, making it easier to share specific products such as eggs, meat boxes, raw milk, honey, milkshakes or seasonal produce.
Farm events, markets, open days, family days and food events can be listed and shared with direct public links.
Farm campsites, glamping spots and rural stays can be promoted with public pages and direct links.
Roadside Stall gives customers several ways to reach the same local producer: through the mobile app, the website, the live map, shared links, QR codes, public profiles and individual offer pages.
This means a customer does not always need to start from a blank search. They can open a shared offer, scan a QR code, follow a farm, receive a notification, or find a public listing through the web.
For producers, this creates more than a simple listing. It becomes a connected presence across app, web, map, search, sharing and direct customer discovery.
It is a digital ecosystem for local food discovery, direct producer connection, rural business visibility, live offers, exact map navigation, notifications, events, campsites, QR codes and multi-location producer tools.
Whether someone is selling from a small honesty box, a farm shop, a vending machine, a market stall, a campsite or a larger multi-location food business, Roadside Stall helps put that producer closer to customers looking for real local food.
