You won't believe this, but I actually saw a customer walk away from a vendor because they thought $3/dozen was too high for fresh corn!

We do five markets during the week and two different wholesale outlets who pick up at the farm and all of our weekly markets have dwindled very seriously and we dought if we will be doing any of them next year.  Many of the products we sell any more are high end products and we feel like the small town buyers just won't spend the extra money to by the baby lettuce and mixes and the specially products.  When we go these markets it seem like all we can sell is sweet corn and tomatoes and they are not my high end products.  We raised our sweet corn prices really good last year and still sold out every market so we may be able to keep raising corn price even though there are lots of street vendor sitting on street corners giving it away for $3 a doz.
