At the beginning of the season (when no one else had it at the markets I go to), I charged $3/lb. and $4/lb. for regular globe and Asian eggplant, respectively. Yesterday, I charged $2.50 and $3, respectively. I am getting lots of Asian now, so I may need to lower the price more and/or pursue my other market options.
I look at what other stores are charging, how eager people are to get it (demand) and how much I have (supply) to decide on a price. I spend a fair bit of time telling people how to use it. Recipes help, too.

Don't know if this is helpful. Conventionally grown "regular" eggplant sells for about $1.50/# in Dominica. We sell our organic Asian varieties (purples, blacks, greens, pinks, whites, stripes) for $3.50/#. They are ever so much nicer, look gorgeous and usually sell out without problem.

We are not in an up-scale, urban area.As a second thought/question, if we cannot get them to sell at our roadside market, what might restaurant pricing be?Thanks for any ideas.TomLimerock Orchards and Roadside MarketNear Lake Erie
