Yeah, that's been my observation, that very few vendors (if any) have
tree fruits at farmer's markets.

It'd be years before I had any fruit to offer, but every little bit
helps.

Thanks.  I appreciate your help (yet again!)

Typically when I've seen fruits at farmer's markets those are the types
I've seen (the berries).  I keep waffling on whether or not I want to
get into berry fruits; other than strawberries, I never eat any myself.

Can you recall off the top of your head what sorts of prices you have
typically seen the other vendors charging?  I'm not sure what the market
will bear around here.
