Bob, thanks a lot this is very helpful. Breck From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org
[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of sunnfarm AT netscape.com I used to sell bedding plants in 6 packs. The 606 size
inserts which is 6 packs of 6 plants in 1020 size tray or 36 plants per tray.
36 plants are less likely to crowd and grow spindly they seem to produce the
best quality plants. I get lables for each pack from the John Henry Company.
Fafard F15 is the best soil mix ...a 3.5 cu bale fills 40 trays. Dont sell
tender plants until a week or two before frost date but be sure to warn the
customer about frost.You can start selling cabbage lettuce and pansys today if
you have them. Order seed from a good seed company don't buy seed at a garden
center... Bob. Sunny Meadow Farm
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

[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.
