We don't do any wholesale sales or restaurant sales, only direct to
consumer sales - that consumes everything we grow.

We've been doing spinach for $3 for 1/2 pound bag. Yes, it flies out
at that price. People who bought one last week buy two this week. And
so on.
Alison - What is your wholesale price? In this area, restaurants
usually pay retail for their local produce. (but orders are never
large.) -Allan
