Market: I sell my melons wherever I can, Farmer's Markets for resale or to the public, Tree of Life, Local stores and locally off the truck. They taste so good that I have no trouble getting rid of them. The peas are pick-your-own. I have built up a clientele that is usually still wanting peas when they are all gone. I will pick the occasional bushel for twice the price of pick-your-own for individuals who like picking peas less than I do. The older I get the higher the price of the peas I pick. Usually one ad in the local paper to tell the people when the peas will be ready then a phone call sells the peas.
