Yeah I am going to keep it simple, I grow what I know and don't plan to stray much from that simply because I have limited space and it will mostly be filled with tomatoes. I am currently trying to find someone to co-op with so that we can both focus on different crops. They charge co-ops a lot more to sell at market though, which seems to eliminate a lot of would be small growers so I am having trouble finding anyone.
The bigger growers don't want to pay the extra money just for me to provide tomatoes/peppers/melons, plus they don't know me from Adam so the trust isn't there. I am left with trying to make a go alone even though I wont be able to have produce to sell weekly or much variety. I just want to learn all I can from this and make as many new friends as possible so that hopefully it will lead to other opportunities to do what I love.
