Thanks everyone! We have some hutterite colonies around that tend to undercut many people, which makes it tough. Paul I know what you mean about the jams and jellies. My husband sometimes takes pepper jelly to snack on at work and those fellas now always ask when they can order. I get $8/pint and they don't blink an eye on it. I guess it all just depends on where you are trying to sell. Homemade is so much tastier than store bought. Thumbs up I bet you wouldn't have any trouble finding a reliable customer base.

For the squash I'll have to bite the bullet and go to town to do some price checking. It's been a month ago I stopped at a little stand and he priced his tomato's at $1, $2.5, $3.5, and $4. This was per tomato he told me. Blinking Onions were 2/lb. I had only stopped because my plants were not looking too hot so thought I might have to supplement a little more in order to make salsa and suace. Needless to say, I left empty handed. I just can't afford to pay that price, kudos to those that can and will, but that isn't me.

Dave, what's the big thing with a Kellogg's Breakfast tomato?

I tip my hat to you.
