My scapes are earlier than anyone else’s
around here, and we have one market with folks who have learned about them, so
I sold them at 20 for $4 yesterday. Sold about 5 lbs!!! Yes, I sold some
folks 5 or 10, but if we price them at 5 for $1, folks buy 5, and most folks
went ahead and bought 20, particular after I told them will last in a plastic
bag in the frig at least a month. I looked online and saw a range of pricing.
Last year our most popular veggie vendor (good sales people) sold scapes I
think 5 for $1, while I was doing 10 for a $1. I expect when others’ have
scapes our price will go down, but maybe not. Or if someone wants a lot I will
probably do $5/lb or similar (1000 row feet of garlic makes lots of scapes). Beth Spaugh http://rhomestead.com

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Deb Taft Hi All. I'm about to start harvesting garlic scapes and am wondering how to
price them. Do you do it by the piece, bunch, pound/oz ? How much
are you asking? Thanks! Deb Mobius Fields Sleepy Hollow / |
