Cherries are harder to pick, but the loss is much less.

About 95% of the cherry tomatoes we pick can be sold as "firsts"

About 50% of the beefsteak tomatoes can be sold as firsts.

About 85% of the small-to-medium round can be sold as firsts, and this is one reason why I am very interested in creating new tomatoes in this category.
