I always remove my stems because of the same reason. I always do it when I am picking. Several times this summer my wife was being helpful and went out and picked tomatoes to help get ready for market. She didn't do this, because I didn't tell her to. I had to go back through several hundred pounds and de-stem them all. I also had to pull out the ones that were "poked". Not what I was wanting to do at midnight before a 7 am market. I sell all my produce by the pound, so the tomatoes get handled alot. Many vendors at my market put several pounds in a basket and sell them for a price. The customer doesn't get to choose. They also can only buy what they offer. I think I pick up more customers and sales because I am willing to sell smaller amounts (one or two tomatoes as opposed to 5-6 in a quart basket. How do you sell them, by the pound or by the basket.
