Market Farming

[sunnfarm AT netscape.net]

Jackie, A 1000-2000+ bushel yield is average in this area due to the climate 
and sandy soil, don't expect that much in other areas. We all sell peppers 
through the wholesale market or to processers. Peppers are boxed in one and 
one ninth waxed boxes, graded to size shape and color,we can't mix a four 
lobed fruit with a three lobed etc. Wholesale price depends on national 
supply, it changes by the hour it varys from $0-20 a box. Processors pay 
about $2.00 a bushel but take everything down to the smallest nubbin. I have 
two roadside markets where I sell roughly 100 bushels of mostly bell all 
season. You don't sell alot at farmers markets unless you grow all 
types...Goodluck in your new life...Bob.
