I do not grow lots of lettuce, but what I so grow for farmers' market sales is a mix, cut when it is about 3-5 inches, rinsed twice and spun dry. I have a nice electronic scale that I use at home to weigh and bag up 1/2 pounds of lettuce before going to market. At the market, I sell the lettuce at so much per bag, no weight given. Other growers at the same market also sell by bag, bunches, or heads.

I am curious how some of you sell your lettuce both how you package it and how you weigh/measure it.
This is my first year of selling at market and I I simply cannot wrap my brain around it.
I am trying to avoid using a scale right and use "amounts" our bunches.
Any advice or insight would be very much appreciated.
