What should I price my organically grown tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, cucumbers ect.?
I sold burpless cucumbers and white cucumbers for $1.00 each. I cut them up and let customers sample it, they taste so much better I have repeat customers all throughout the season. As far as tomatoes go, it depends on how early you get them, usually the earlier, the higher price you can get. In our area it typically run somewhere between 2-3 dollars per pound for the heirloom varieties. I didn’t sell a lot of peppers, especially the hot ones. I’ve heard someone in California roast their peppers in the market and they said it worked really well. I don’t know about watermelon, 25lbs is probably too big for most families, maybe you can cut them up? Good luck and happy growing!
