A Colorful Market Table

Cole_Robbie · April 26, 2016

I had my first ever $100 customer at the greenhouse today. He left with 330 plants, so he got a good deal. He took the inventory I needed to get rid of. I met the guy at the market and invited him out to the greenhouse. He told me today, about the market last Saturday, that I had the best-looking plants there, which was a nice compliment. But he also said, "and you priced everything like you wanted to sell it."

My plants were $2, or 3 for $5. My gallon pots were $5, or 3 for $12. The volume deals were very attractive to customers. Hardly anyone bought just one plant.

My grandpa was always like that at market. The point of taking anything up there was to sell it, not to have to pack it back up and take it home. He set the price at what would make it sell.
