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, Thank you all. Sue Wells |
