The charming idea of farm stores for the direct marketing of farm produce is being undermined by thieves, as examples show. Farmers rely on surveillance and new technologies. Can only sanctions help in our society?

"Is it really necessary, can we no longer have any trust?" thought the Enthofer farming family on April 26. "We saw a bike lying in front of our farm store. When we looked, unfortunately a little later, the cash register had been broken into and a three-figure sum was gone. Plus a few jars of honey," explains Alfred Enthofer from the "Wasserfischer" farm in Strass.
