Just need to produce at this point. Everything else is worked out...other than getting boxes for packing/delivery. I'm leaning towards 10lb single layer boxes. How do you do it?
10# boxes/single layer is the best way to do it. I get my boxes from a produce market and recycle them. I do not single layer them as the person I sell to just piles them in a basket anyway. I am careful not to put too many in one box though. I thought about buying boxes to pack them in, but it would drive my costs up quite a bit. Hard to purchase smaller quantities.

I am growing quite a few tomatoes from Wild Boar Farms myself:

Pink Boar
Cosmic Eclipse
Blue Cream Berries
Indigo Apple
Lucid Gem
Trenton's Tiger
Berkley Tie Die
Beauty King
Solar Flare
Indigo Blue Beauty

Restaurants love the appearance. Not all of these varieties have the best taste in my opinion though.
