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

How many beds (of what size) of spinach and mesculn do you keep going at a time to keep up with your markets? For what sort of weekly harvest?

I've been working with 100x3ft beds for salad mix, but think I'll start working with 50 or 33 ft bed lengths per seeding (for market) The CSA pretty much takes up TWO 100ft beds per week. I normally cut a bed twice.
