Everyone around here focuses on the first tomatoes of the season. I'm not so sure that's the smartest move for pure monetary gain.
Back in the early 90's at our market there was an older gentleman who focused on early white half runner beans, and cured bacon sides for seasoning the beans. He grew a bunch of them. I mean the cattle racks stacked full of half runners on his old GMC pickup, and three or four sides of bacon hanging from the racks with baler twine. He would always sell out! He would keep coming to the market until beans started showing up then he would quit.
