I sell onions retail at $2/lb (non-certified organic), or $1.50/lb for 10 lb bags.  But I have several hundred pounds of gorgeous yellow and red onions that I don’t have a market for.  I would appreciate pricing advice for

 

  1. restaurants
  2. food bank

 

Yes, I can donate to food shelf, but I paid workers to harvest and clean these so I really would like to get some money from them.  Have never done any “wholesale”.

 

Thank you.

 

Oh, size – I have some gorgeous huge ones (over half pound), and then medium size, and a few bags of small (less than 2” diameter” size.
