For beginners who are working alone, I would recommend a “reverse CSA” – an email harvest or e-farmers market. I have been doing this successfully for about 2 years now. I send out an email of what I have and the price. The people on the email list choose what they want and send it back to me. I have made it very clear to them that I will NOT always be able to fill their order, although I try to be fair and give everyone something. This is a great learning tool also as you will find out very quickly what people want and the prices they are willing to pay. As you see these trends in your list you can plant accordingly.
