Yikes thats a good one. First go to your nearest farm stand and grocery
store and see what the going rate is. The grocery store will be cheaper.
Charge the same or a tiny bit less than nearest farm stand. In our area
central Massachsetts Pumpkins have been about $.39 a pound at most farm
stands I don't really remember but the grocery store was $.25-.30lb. Corn
stalks are about $3-4 a bunch with a bunch being 6 ish stalks. I was
visiting my friend in the Seattle area one autumn with in the past two years
and pumpkins were $.25lb. I was amazed, while my area is fairly affluent I
think her area is more affluent and pumpkins were cheaper. More supply?
Good luck people tend to pay more for the decorative stuff than the edible.
