I am in the same boat as Bill. I have always let my customers select their tomatoes. They can pick them up and mix and match the different varieties I grow. I tried to charge different prices for them and all I did was give myself a head-ache! I usually settle on charging a little more than everyone else. When selling, I am usually a one man outfit. I know it takes more time, but I just give customers a big bowl with a bag in it and tell them to fill it up and bring it to me when they are ready to pay. I have become known for having the best tasting tomatoes at the market. Word is spreading, business is picking up. Too bad, I don't have more! Almost everyone else only sells quart baskets of tomatoes. I hear all the time, "they make you buy a whole basket,I only want one or two" I guess it is my
niche marketing. I do put some of the smaller tomatoes in a pint basket and charge 1.50. They are usually .75-.85 of a pound which is really about $2.00 a pound. That is what I am charging for the rest of my tomatoes. Jay --- On Fri, 8/28/09, BillOhio <billohio AT gmail.com> wrote:
