You could offer the ripe, less than perfect 'maters at a reduced price for canning. Larger quantities, like 4 or 8 qt. baskets might be more appropriate in that case.

I harvest most of mine when they first show color, put them in crates in an air conditioned room to ripen up for a few days and than sell them between orange ripe and deep red (as Lova has found, people don't always want dead ripe, must use it all today, maters). If I leave everything on until really ripe i risk losing a lot of fruit to insects and weather so I get them in to avoid such things and get a lot more perfect for sale fruits.
