Plant Starts (Pricing)

[Shaft]

so if you were going to a plant sale, how much would you expect to pay for a 4 inch potted plant like a tomato or a pepper or a basil?
also, how much for a 6 pack of broccoli or marigolds or something

I'm starting a plant sale in the near future and I'm trying to figure out my price structure. I have a number in mind, but I was hoping to ask the audience.

<3 you guys

I do farmers markets in CA and previously in CO. I charge $5 for my 4" potted tomatoes with a quantity discount . My basil is sold in 2" pots for 2/$5. Some venders do $4 for their tomatoes.

I think here the tomatoes go from 2.99 to 4.99, depending on the store and or variety. As for the 6 pack, I have no idea.

I paid $6 for a 4 inch pot.

I ended up with the following pricing structure:

3" Pot
$7 for herbs - organic
$10 for anything else - organic
$15 for peppers - organic

1 gallon pot
$20 for tomatoes - organic
$30 for peppers - organic
$30 for figs (celeste, brown turkey, vdb) - organic

I probably could've charged more. We sold out a bit early so there were two weeks there where we pretty much had no inventory. We took last week off to replenish inventory and it's back to business as usual.

Organic Fertilizers (32 oz concentrate becomes 5 gallons)
$5 for Nettle Tea
$5 for Worm Tea
$5 for Compost Tea
$5 for Comfrey tea

Produce
$1 per ounce for Oregano, fresh - organic
$1 per gram for Stinging Nettle, frozen - organic
