$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. 

You're not kidding.  Even at the better markets in Indianapolis we are seeing the same trend.  Seems like our strong market has softened a bit.  There are still plenty of people there, but they're not spending quite as much money per person.  We've done well to get 2.50 a pint. . . if we want to sell more than a couple flats of them.  Tomatoes tend to hang around 2.00 after eveyone has them.
