Here in Hawaii we have the same situation. While CA lettuce is cheaper,
usually about 1/2 is thrown away. So you will probably end up supplying
only 1/3 to 1/2 of what he asks unless the quality is so good they sell
more salads. We actually got a 25 to 45 (depending on the season) percent
increase in the price since so much was useable.

What an opportunity Jim, but what a committment. A number of things
come to mind:
1. 80 cases (I assume 3# boxes = 240 #) is a lot of volume. Is his
80-case estimate consistent year-round or is that a peak number? I've
found that customers generally over-estimate their volume requirements.
What % of your business would this represent? Beware of putting all of
your eggs in one basket. Even if you build in a clause to cover your
up-front investment, who wants to work at break-even? I'm curious what
he's paying per pound now, would you mind sharing that info?

I've been asked to look into growing garlic shoots. Does anybody know
the ins and outs of this? What variety is best, growing methods, etc?

Would like to know sources of "organic" fish feed and would like info on
home-grown fish feed.
Thank you

I've tried growing garlic hydroponically in 4mm volcanic chip. They
grow, but it's not spectacular - I just use them to fill in the gaps
between strawberries.
Despite the heavy, young praying mantis population in the strawberries,
black aphids are a serious pest to the young shoots.
