What percentage discount do you put on canners? I
sell my drop dead gorgeous at $4/pound, slightly less beautiful for
$3/pound. $1/pound for really uglies that need to be trimmed almost
doesn't sound like much of a discount, but I don't see going below
$1/pound. What do ya'll charge?

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.
