I really have a hard time pricing summer
squash. I tried $.75 each for them. If they are small, people complain that is
too much for them. I also have a very hard time dealing with that figure, just
because my brain doesn’t work as fast with that amount, so I go back to
$.50 each. I can’t figure out if this is too cheap, but weighing it when
I am very busy at the Market is so hard. This is for large, medium and small. I
am going to try small squash with the blossoms on them this year, maybe at
$1.00 each, does this sound right? Last year, I started out selling my green
beans at $5/lb, then went down to $4. I won’t go cheaper, as they are too
much work for selling cheaper. My shelling beans I sell for $5, unshelled.
Shelled they will be more. Tomatoes will be $4 -$5 pound. Mine are heirloom. I
have never known what to charge for hot peppers, so I sell my jalapenos for
$.10 each and most of the rest of hot peppers at $.25 each, except for my
poblanos, they are $.50 each. Corn around here sells for $5 to $7 doz. Sue Vermont From:

Squash, salad cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, green beans. What are you
all pricing this stuff at per pound? Also, tomatoes, silver king
corn and hot peppers are coming ripe soon. Could you all share
what your pricing these items for? Thanks, Roni |
