I can't recall exactly who, but someone posted last winter about selling mixed cherry tomatoes (different colors, sizes, and flavors). I borrowed this idea and cherry tomatoes turned into the largest grossing item in my small market garden. I sold through a grower cooperative to restaurants. While the tomatoes sold easily and the (wholesale) price was decent (I received $2.25/pint; the restaurants paid approximately $3.40/pint), it was quite labor intensive to make the mixed pints (never mind the time to pick them!). So, I am wondering if anyone has any efficiency tips for creating mixed pints of cherry tomatoes.
Thanks.
