If you drive down an orchard lane in our neck of the woods on a Fall day, especially on a Sunday, you’re likely to come across a tradition that most outsiders would call crazy.
You see, on most Sundays when you can’t get into the orchard to pick your own, the farmers leave their bags of apples out on a table at the side of the road. They also leave a money jar. It’s the honor system. Take your apples, pay your money. And it works. People don’t take the apples without paying, and people don’t take the jar of money.
It’s a pretty simple system, and it’s the way we like to do business in rural New England. When you place an order with BorderCollics Anonymous, we ship it to you on the same or earliest possible day. We don’t wait for your check to arrive and clear, or for final confirmation from PayPal. We operate on the honor system. We choose to believe that people will leave their money in the jar when they take their apples.
