There are alot of people that forage ramps along the roads, and other places. many people look at my prices and say, I can go dig my own, instead of buying them. I am very careful when harvesting the ramps. I do not dig all in a patch, or in a bunch. I need mine to continue to grow for me for many many years. I do have areas that I do not touch, and those are spreading more each year. Sue From: Market-farming [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Richard Stewart Price should be high for ramps. It is in HIGH demand. My suggestion is that ramps are best sold to chefs who are REALLY wanting them. Watch how you are harvesting them. We have been seeding them the last two springs and have seen good results so far in reestablishing them in the woods and hillside on our farm. Establishing them on your farm is the ONLY way to preserve them, the demand is going to outstrip any type of sustainable wild foraging methods as EVERYONE wants ramps right now. Here is a little post on our new website about ramps and the particulars of what we have been doing. Just some food for thought.
