Does anyone on this list grow transplants (by the flat) for other farms or have you bought transplants (by the flat) from nearby growers? I am wondering what prices are typically charged. Thanks much.

I don't know how prices are running now; but in 2004 I bought certified organic pepper and eggplant transplants at 7.75 per flat of 48 plants. I provided the seed.

Since then I've been starting my own, so couldn't tell you; prices are probably up, everything else is. I also don't know how much prices vary for conventional versus organic, or whether they vary in different parts of the country (heating costs for greenhouses here can be considerable).
