Well, the tomatoes are just about to start ripening here in Delaware (an early year with all the very hot weather we have had). I am once again trying to determine what to charge for my heirlooms and my hybrids. I wanted to know what the going rate is for people in other areas of the country and would appreciate any feedback. I use a scale and don't put them in quarts. While the quarts are convenient, I feel I am practically giving them away when I sell them that way.
I do stick with $4 per pint for my heirloom cherry tomatoes in mixed pints. I heap them up pretty good though. But I let the price stand for the whole season, even after others are dropping their prices. I do not seem to sell any more or less by lowering the price and extra tomatoes go to a couple of restaurants for a wholesale price.
Any thoughts?
