Market Farming

[BillOhio <billohio AT gmail.com>]

Allen,

I'm thinking last year we sold a fair number at a 25 - 50 cents each as a salad addition...nobody acted like they'd ever seen them before, and we had some educating and sampling to do before they started going.  These were pretty nice-sized, still-tender shoots that I'd doubleplanted because I didn't want to make another bed. People naturally started asking for them about the time they got too tough to be good. 

We participated in a market at Whole Foods in Columbus, and vendors
there were charging $1.00-$1.50 apiece; not sure how many they were
selling though.

Allen, here I was feeling good just having one 150x4' bed this year, and you've got so many you don't even miss 2 beds! :)

Hope this helps,
Bill Huhman

The good news/bad news for me is that I discovered TWO FULL 100 FT
BEDS of garlic that was not harvest last season yesterday. (This is
not the space to explain how THAT happened!)

This means that I have a lot of garlic scallions (hundreds of bulbs
that have sprouted foot long greens from full bulbs)

I'm wondering how folks price garlic scallions at market, say bundles
of 6 nice ones.

Yes, if I don't sell them as food I really think I can transplant them!

Thanks
