Yes, I do all this by myself.

 

By doing poorly, I mean just not selling many of my vegetables at all. Others sold theirs well. I am hoping this year will be much better.

 

The herb bread was a good seller, I charged $4/loaf. For a small loaf I charges $1.50. My zucchini was $5 large and $2 for the small.

 

I sell my canned things for $5 pint, or the jellies which are smaller, for $5 and quarts for $8. And give out lots of samples.

My sample of hot pepper jelly, I mix with cream cheese, which is great, and is not hot, if not much jelly is added.

 

My vegetables aren’t cheaply priced. I don’t think. I think my mixed lettuce could be higher, I sell it for $1.50 1/2 pound. I tried selling it in a bag for $3, they wouldn’t buy it, so I put ½ pound in a bag and that sells. It is a beautiful and tasty lettuce.   

 

No one else has okra, I sell it for $4/quart. I usually have green beans when others don’t have any. I tried the Green zebra tomatoes and that was a flop, even with samples. My striped roman tomatoes were a good sellout, IF I had samples. No one wants yellow tomatoes, either.

 

I am living South Hero, Vermont. We have been here for 3 years.

 

Thank you all.
