Jay:
You probably know this, but I'd spend late Summer and Winter strategizing on different markets to sell at. Its always going to be difficult to sell in a market with low-balling resellers, especially if it's Cal product (at least most of our resellers have the dignity to stick to a product closer to our region...).

------------------------------------------------------------------------Today was the first day I had big tomatoes for sale at market. I have about 30 pounds of Cherokee Purples and 10 pounds of Big Beef and some yellow ones. I put $3.00 a pound on them and I brought home about 18 pounds of tomatoes. Lots of dissatisfied customers. So, I guess I will drop to $2.50 a pound next week and see what happens. Next week I will have over a hundred pounds to sell for sure. As far as I know I am the only person with homegrown tomatoes at my market. Lots of ones that are bought and resold out of California and else where.
As far as Cherry Tomatoes, I stuck with $2.50 a pint. I had 75 pint baskets and I brought home 29. I am the only person with them at my market. I think I will offer a 3 baskets for $6 next week and see what happens.
Money is tight around here, but I have expenses that I have to cover, also.
