Thanks Mischka, and first posting!

First of all I want to thank Mischka for creating this new category. I have wanted to get into selling at farmers markets for several years and may take the plunge this year. Just to make a few dollars, but more importantly I think it would be extremely satisfying to turn more people on to healthy vegetables and in particularly heirloom tomatoes.

First of my requests are suggestions for products for packaging. Does anyone have a good source for cardboard boxes for tomatoes. Google doesn't seem to help much, and it could be I'm not typing in the correct phrases.

Secondly, I would love to hear experiences from everyone who currently sells at farmers markets and would greatly appreciate your knowledge and pro's and con's on what to expect.
