I sell Haikuri turnips for $1.50 a bunch. Not sure on weight, but 3 huge ones, 4 large, 5 medium, 7-8 small ones. Huge is baseball sized and up, medium is a little bigger than golfball and small is anything that were pulled on accident. Large marble up to golfball sized. After I lowered to $1.50, I have been selling out most weeks. I have been selling carrots for the last month or longer and I am wondering about price. Since I don't use any chemicals, sprays or fertilizer, I compare prices to organic carrots at supermarkets. They have 6 carrots for over $2.00 each. I started out at $2.00 a bag. The bag was a pound. 12-14 carrots. They didn't sell. I can't leave the tops on, packing limitation, but I do leave about an inch of green on the top. Now I bag up half pound bags, more work, for $1.00 a bag and I have been selling out all the time. Strange, but price has been a very touchy thing this year for me.
