We've got just a bit off topic here, haven't we?

At my Farmer's Market, I start off at $3.50 a pound for early, greenhouse-grown tomatoes, and drop it to $3.00 a pound in the height of the season. That goes for everything - cherries and big-uns. Even so, I grow way more than I can sell, so I dehydrate the extras, and sell them all year. I've been surprised at how many I sell even in the height of fresh tomato season! They are just sliced and dried, with a light sprinkle of sea salt, I bag them up in sandwich bags (.2 lb.), and sell for $3.00 a bag.
