Liz,
How do you display your salad greens to keep them from wilting in the 
Carolihna heat?  How do you work the mechanics of mix-n-match?  Do you have 
tongs?
I sell my mesclun to restaurants in 5# bags for $30.  To friends and 
neigbors in  8 oz ziplock bags for $4.00 and they are happy to get it.  I 
think you should be able to get more for yours.  Salad mix in our 
supermarkets goes for $5.99.
