That sounds so much better sung than seeing it written. I wonder how they figured out the lyrics. Now I am going to have to google and find out.
This was the weekend of tomatoes !!!!!! We sold 1500 plus tomatoes in three days. That is 20 boxes of 25 lbs each. 500 pounds of tomatoes. That is a lot of sauce, sandwiches and salads.
Plus 360 ears of corn, over 200 peppers, 200 cucumbers, 150 zucchini, 45 cantaloupes, 100 onions, and dozens of eggplant. A total of two truck loads of produce sold in one weekend. It might be some sort of personal record for us. Not exactly sure, but it was a great weekend.
The temperature on Friday and Saturday was near 100 and it ‘lowered’ to lower 90’s on Sunday. The heat was brutal.
Friday we started selling at T&R Farms. What a great place and great energy that is. Horses, cool music, plants, greenhouse, farm shack, and other like minded people. We made some money, but that seemed almost secondary to having a really good time. I didn’t get there to later than Chuck, because I went to Lancaster and bought tomatoes with my father. We got carried away and bought 20 boxes.
On Saturday it really cut down on the number of other vendors selling. That helped us a lot. Many of the produce vendors simply didn’t show up. The buys may have been less, but those buying came to us.
Sunday was just a great Sunday all the way around. We had a buyer take tomatoes from us on Saturday and came back for more, only to turn them down, as ‘they aren’t the same as yesterday’.. HUH? We bought them the same day. They were exactly the same tomatoes as the day before. No bid deal, a restaurant owner came in and bought two full boxes and we sold many of the rest by the basket, rather than by the quart container.
Corn sold out fast, as did most everything.
Makes it all like fun!!!!
