Come up with a name that distinguishes your tomatoes from the others. Some people push the name heirloom or gourmet or a myriad of nuance variations to do this. Others combat by offering tastes of the quality to the person who is saying prices are high, etc.
Try different avenues until people start talking amongst themselves about the differences between these wholesale tomatoes and yours.
One farmer I know got into marketing blushed tomatoes and pushing how these people could ripen these themselves. His fear was being left with overripe tomatoes, so he sold based on his fears.
I think it is smarter to sell based on your positives, it just makes you feel better so you present well.
