[Market-farming] Selling Lettuce

I do not grow lots of lettuce, but what I so grow for farmers' market 
sales is a mix, cut when it is about 3-5 inches, rinsed twice and spun 
dry.  I have a nice electronic scale that I use at home to weigh and bag 
up 1/2 pounds of lettuce before going to market.   At the market, I sell 
the lettuce at so much per bag, no weight given.  Other growers at the 
same market also sell by bag, bunches, or heads.
