Hey ya’ll, I am planning on offering bedding plants this year and
wonder if any of you might offer some advice. How do you market (farm stand,
farmers market), do you use cell packs, label, and etc. Do you wait for the
last expected frost as the date to offer or do you push for an earlier date.
How long do you typically sell seedlings (month)? Has anyone tried the seed pkt
stands available from some seed companies? Any suggestions or comments would be
appreciated. Farmer Breck Breck Carden Carden’s Garden Current temp is 65 and wet. From:

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of SaladG AT aol.com Have you seen the grocery stores lower
any prices, I haven't. So why in the world would you lower your current
prices. Our prices will stay the same as 08. We sell bedding
plants, vege plants, basil plants, fresh produce of many different varieties ,
around 40 different item, fresh lamb meat,and we weave and sell rugs and
different wool and cotton products. I was at the grocery store today and
have seen very little changes in their prices except still going up. A
good marketer knows that price in most markets make very little difference in
the amount your are selling. Our sales have always dictated the best quality of
product that we can produce and charge accordingly. We are in a big
market and we can set beside dumpers and have a very good day, because if you
are selling a great product price has little effect. The only thing that
has gone down in our area has been fuel, my seed prices have gone up about 12%
from last year, so in reality we really should be raising prices. Get a
