Around here (western MA) they would go for .80-$1.25/lb wholesale.  Certified organic from the west coast are most often .50-.75/lb for yellow and .85-1.50 for reds.

Yes, I can donate to food shelf, but I paid workers to harvest and clean these so I really would like to get some money from them.  Have never done any “wholesale”.

 

Thank you.

 

Oh, size – I have some gorgeous huge ones (over half pound), and then medium size, and a few bags of small (less than 2” diameter” size.
