I am growing heirloom tomatoes for the market and
this is my first year. I was browsing the market today getting display
ideas and I noticed that most tomato growers use a box made for produce to keep
from bruising, they keep the tomatoes seperated and neat. Where would I
get such boxes? I also noticed that the tomatoes were sitting in the sun a
bit on the tables at the markets and they got soft fast... doesnt take long in
100 degree heat. I would need to ensure they would be in the shade all
day, however would a mister system help? Seems like a bit of work, maybe
keeping them in coolers and only have one box out at a time. I also was
asking a lady that sold chipolte about where she got her insurance to sell
out at the markets. (my homeowner/vehicle insurance agent doesnt provide
that) She told me that it wasnt her job to carry insurance that it was the
markets. I asked her how much the market carried and who to talk to about
that and she had no clue. Anything canned or baked she said did not need
insurance. I could have swore this wasnt true... can someone enlighten me
on that one too? Thank you !
