$4.00 a pint for Cherry tomatoes, you are killing me! I only can get $2.00-$2.50 a pint here in Kansas. I know they are worth $4.00, but I don't want to bring them home. This year pricing is very touchy. $0.50 too high and things don't sell, PERIOD! Maybe it is the markets I attend. I am having to take a little less for things to get them sold. A sign of the times I guess. Example, I took 28 baskets to my Wednesday market, price $2.50 each. Last year I was selling 50-60 pints a week there last year. This year, I sold 8. On Saturday, I took 35 baskets and charged $2.00, sold 34. I hold the same price the whole season too! I grow 11 different kinds of cherry tomatoes. I put them in mixed baskets and individual variety baskets. Big tomatoes, heirloom or hybrid we are asking $2.50 a pound. We want more, but people are balking a little at that price too. Sold out, but I only took 15 pounds. We will see what happens this week.
