I'm curious now Allan. What does the chef do with the chickweed. And good luck building that market.

Subject: [Market-farming] Chickweed at Market
Chickweed seems to grow more abundantly around here in the fall than
in the spring!
They say it likes fertile soil. I guess it's a good sign, then,
that's its choking all of our beds!
I just had a chef ask for some chickweed. I assume he's looking for a case.
Anyone have any idea of what a fair price is for selling cut
chickweed from an organic farm? I'm thinking probably $20 for a 10lb
case, but another grower in the area is getting $18 a lb for radish
micro-greens, so I have to wonder.
Thanks
-Allan
