$10 for a 25# box of certified organic seconds, but only to people I know. I won't sell seconds on the open market. I'm getting $2.00/lb for good tomatoes by the quart and sell boxes to my CSA members at $15 for a 10# box and $25 for a 25# box.
I wish I had your customers, I don't think I could sell any at $4.00/lb which equates to $8.00/qt.

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?
