Market day

A farmers market is not a bigger roadside stand; it is a different kind of selling, because people come looking for this, not passing a farm. A stall meets more strangers in a morning than a quiet road sees in a month, so market day is as much an introduction as a sale.

That is worth a fee: a morning that meets a town's worth of new faces is worth more than the same morning at home, since a stand's regulars know it already.

In this game a market runs every seventh day, mid-spring to autumn's end, taking up to:

• 8 kilos of honey
• 12 pieces
• 4 bottles

At the going rate, counted three times over for the farm's name. A casual day costs 10. A book buys ten days for 80, spent only when you take the stall.
