楓樹社區誠實商店於2004年由台中市楓樹腳文化協會將社區閒置的空間再利用的成果之一，座落在台中市楓樹社區的樂田巷與互榮巷交叉口的古老巷道內，是古老居民生活圈交通聚集處。為了避免這個重要聚點已歇業的傳統雜貨店被加蓋鐵皮，江鳳英老師決定承租下來做為社區教育及交流基地，有20多個古色古香的座位及花花草草可供遊客休息，販賣一些飲料、糖果、咖啡、人道養殖雞蛋、社區自行生產的環保產品及在地南屯 麻芛 相關食品…

最特別的是這家店並沒有店員，由客人自行將錢投入誠實甕內聽見”誠實的聲音”，早上是社區阿公阿嬤聊天運動的好所在，其他時間則有訪客、朋友、居民在此聊天交流集思廣益，幫忙打掃、澆花、維護環境、顧店趕小偷，人人皆可體驗當個誠實店長。

Maple Honest Store is set up in 2004, from an abandon space in old alley in maple community. It is now a place full of plants, pleasant smell of coffee and selling local products & safety food. Besides, we make it as a place for children, residents and visitors to experience honest, education, sense of morality and for everyone to learn more about our history. It is also a place for people to share their stories and ideas without stress, and make ideas could be realized (for example, we develop rural handmade goods to increase rural women’s income.)

However, most special thing is: There is no waitress in the store! Customers serve themselves and put money into the “honest urn”, with a “honest” clear sound as great feedback. People can buy old-styled ice pops, some traditional cookies, eco-products made by the community and some desserts made by local planet: jute(“mua-yi”). Everyone could be a “honest store host” by helping to clean the place, watering flowers and keeping eyes on thief….
