Right you are Mark.
At the peak this Summer, we were picking 40 lbs of cherries a day and I sold every last one of them. I had no intention of growing anything near this volume, it just happened
. I had no prior marketing plan for this volume. However, all I had to do was show a box to someone and it was purchased EVERY TIME. Then the volume would increase with every order.
40lbs at $4/lb is $160 per daily harvest requiring 2 hours of labor. It is worth it to me at this rate.
