Samples....make sure to have salt and pepper shakers!! Even those little salt things from burger stands.

Mike......with probably too much sodium, but happy!

Today was the first day I had big tomatoes for sale at market. I have about
30 pounds of Cherokee Purples and 10 pounds of Big Beef and some yellow ones.
I put $3.00 a pound on them and I brought home about 18 pounds of tomatoes.
Lots of dissatisfied customers. So, I guess I will drop to $2.50 a pound
next week and see what happens. Next week I will have over a hundred pounds
to sell for sure. As far as I know I am the only person with homegrown
tomatoes at my market. Lots of ones that are bought and resold out of
California and else where.

As far as Cherry Tomatoes, I stuck with $2.50 a pint. I had 75 pint baskets and I brought home 29. I am the only person with them at my market. I think I will offer a 3 baskets for $6 next week and see what happens.
Money is tight around here, but I have expenses that I have to cover, also.
