I don't exactly what percentage of the stands I have are harvested, but I'd say between 2 & 5%. I dig a little here and a little there, not alot in one spot and as I said earlier, I am careful to leave the terrain they are growing in as undisturbed as possible. I have also transplanted some into other areas, so as to increase the population. I pick locations that resemble the ones where they originated, in terms of leaf cover, slope, soil moisture, etc.

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.

For anyone who's in Tennessee -- Sow True Seeds in Asheville, NC listed "wild harvested Tennessee ramps" in their 2015 catalog and they're already sold out so they might be interested in buying more ramps (and as a seed company, they might pay more than you'd get at market) --http://sowtrueseed.com/ramps-ramps/wild-harvested-tennessee-ramps/_______________________________________________
