Well, that was a difficult decision. We asked a friend who manages a natural food co-op in Lexington, KY, about pricing, and they sell organic ginger – mature of course – from
Peru for $5.99 per pound. So, we decided to price ours at $4.50 per HALF pound, which sounds like a lot less than $9.00 per pound. I would imagine in a larger “city” market, one could get a lot more. But, at $9.00 per pound, it should still turn a tidy profit.
And, I have to admit, we just liked growing something that cool! Not to mention it freezes well, so we can use it all winter – ginger beer, ginger ale, pickled ginger, candied ginger, ginger syrup, ginger cake, ginger in our tea….
