I am thinking about grouping by size. Something like 1 lb and up 2 for 5. Medium size 3 for 5 and cherries 6 dollars a pint.

I don't sell by weight, because of onerous regulations in this area regarding scales... We are a growers only market.
My tomatoes are field run. Whatever happened to go into the crates however they happened to be picked. I do not name my varieties, other than saying they are "Joseph's Tomatoes, which I have bred specifically to thrive on my farm, and in Cache Valley."
However cherry tomatoes are picked separately into pint baskets which sell for $2 plus or minus depending on how early or late in the season it is. They might be all one variety per basket, or mixed varieties depending on how they came off the plants.
Woo Hoo!!! I'll have ripe tomatoes to take to the opening day of the farmer's market! Maybe 3 or 4 around golf ball sized. Perhaps I should auction off one per hour...
