I haven't sold at Farmers Markets for the past two years because we do better with our CSAs, farmstand and restaurant sales, but when we did, some of the things we did were:

> While setting up at market sent one person around to see what everyone else was selling and check prices. We generally charged at least as much as everyone else and usually a little more because we were one of the few certified organic sellers. For our items like raspberries where we had a lot and charged a premium price we would suggest to other vendors that they raise their price if it was significantly below ours, or if they just had a few baskets of berries we would wait until they sold out before we started aggressively selling ours.
> Checked prices at the grocery store when we were in there.

> Stopped at other farmstands to check prices.
