A vendor was selling teenage chard loose for $7/lb. My
bunches are about 3/4 lb and sell for $2.50 to $3, depending on how much is
available, and location (less at home, more at market). Beets are
$3/bunch, and I make my bunches fairly large - 2 huge, 3 quite big, 4 medium
large, on down to 8 small (1 1/2 inch). At the grocery store recently $3
bunches were 3 mediums.
I did grow collards last year and had an old southern-boy
customer, who did not buy my bunches. I asked him what how big a "mess" of
collards was and he wanted 5 of my bunches (15 stems) for the price of one
bunch.
These price discussions are incredibly valuable to me. I
am blessed with two high end markets an hour away, but am looking to market
closer to home and the price ranges provide both reality check and encouragement
(depending on the price).
