I have gone to the farmers market here a couple of times lately, and the only tomatoes there are bland,-ish hybrids. There is only 1 guy who seems very knowledgeable about what he sells. He will have Cherokee Purple in the fall, he says. That is the extent of the heirlooms available here. I would be so thrilled to find someone with heirlooms like you have here! The tomatoes here are $3-$4 per pound. I would be glad to pay that for a selection like yours!

Since your customer base would be very different from those that only want red baseball's, maybe you could advertise on craigslist, possibly attract the attention of those who want good flavor?
