What is the price for Heirloom tomatoes per pound?
The price that you can comfortably charge to a local store or restaurant is going to be dependent on the market in your area. I found two websites with a large amount of information and experience in dealing with heirloom tomatoes and other specialty vegetables. The second site is a forum of personal experience. People listed having sold heirlooms for prices between $2 and $6 per pound, depending on the need of the market. The best advice seems to be to find out what typical tomatoes sell for at specialty stores or farmers markets in your area and approach those stores/markets asking for slightly more for your heirlooms. Another suggestion is to approach chefs at local high end restaurants as they are more likely to be amenable to purchasing tomatoes that don’t look like the uniform red variety and are more geared toward taste.
