I see your points Richard, both on infrastructure and customer
loyalty. Good considerations. On the other hand, the growing time (and regrowth) is much
slower early and late season. So we usually charge higher prices both early and
late. I guess it might be considering the yield/foot of row, and of
course the baby stuff that takes forever to harvest and field wash! Marcy SE Colorado From:

Stewart Unless I use additional infrastructure to grow the product I
never change product prices. I'll argue that customer loyalty is better without changing
price to reflect spikes in whatever you are growing be it for a restaurant or
market consumer. If you are growing it in something that requires additional
infrastructure, such as hoop house or low tunnel and you are truly growing out
of season than I think its acceptable to charge more. Of course not everything thinks this way and that's OK
too. Richard Stewart Carriage House Farm North Bend, Ohio An Ohio Century Farm Est. 1855 (513) 967-1106 |
