Thanks for the advice. I can't hand out samples. I have tried, but when you work a booth by yourself, it is really hard to manage that. Maybe I could try again. I know the price is on the high side. I do have my hometown market that is local only/producer only, but I can't move the volume that I will have here in another 2 weeks. I do work on selling the point that they are locally grown, have better flavor etc, some people at this Wednesday market are just out to get cheap food. The two largest vendors at this market are more than willing to supply it. It stinks. Last year they were selling 15 and 25 pound tomato boxes for 30-40 cents a pound. I won't pick my produce at that price. I have alot more red tomatoes, but the Cherokee Purples were the first ready. I don't understand it. Outside they take forever to ripen, in the tunnel they are first ones ripe! This has been the third year like this. Keep my head up and things will turn around, I know!
