I read a lot of the post about costs of tomatoes. Down here in ga. I've been selling produce out of my 5 small gardens for $1.00/# and 16.00 for a 25 # box. As local markets and produce stands are a little higher, i was amazed that many postings said they sold their's for 4-8 dollars a #. Around here you would have to can them yourself
it's not all about making money on the city slickers, its the joy of seeing repeat customers calling me up before season comes in and wanting to know when first ones come in because them ole storebought ones ain't got no wang to them. Don't burn you're mouth and plain bland. I use to sell them 3# for a dollar not long ago.
the grower customer relationship is the main objective if local grown and everybody happy, happy, happy!!
