How do you figure out a fair price? I rarely go to a farmers market, unless I am already in town. I just don't make special trips. Anyhow, we always have large gardens. Everyone around here tends to know that. So I end up being asked how much we charge. Well we don't. We get what we can to feed our family and then have always given away the rest (which is fine too)
This year we really have an over abundance of winter squash and I'd like the kids to be able to sell what they can for their "pocket" money (afterall they have earned it) I know prices are going to vary across the states, and organic versus non will always play a good part in pricing too. Do you have experience in this and what advice would you give?

Many Thanks!
