It was economics of scale. A mom and pop operation. Like we could have sold more raspberries, but we couldn't pick any more and prepare them for market, timewise. Hiring help would have meant more income, pretty close to balanced by the extra expense. It would have been just as lucrative to run a 10 or 20 bed backyard op in the Bay Area; a ready market, fast turnover, fast growing specialty crops. Could even make salad mixes; we did that, too.
