Pam, Rivka, Others I did not grow lady peas this year. But in previous years I sold them by the pound. Not usually enough to sell by the bushel. 1/2 bushel or peck. They should bring the same price as butter beans or butter peas by the peck or half bushel (my opinion)- they are a high end southern pea (and ole timey).
Some of the eastern indians love them and some ot the asian might also with the spanish. Although small they shell out well and pass the time if sitting at the market selling other items - try selling by the pint for $3.00 to $3,50 or $1.25 to $1.75 per pound unshelled.
To try to get them going - try talking to folks to try 2 to 3 lbs. They will catch on. They have a beanny flavor more than a southern cowpea. Again your best market may be the foreign market for those up north (hint).
