How much to charge for pumpkins, hay bales and cornstalks?

Question

This is the first year we are selling pumpkins, hay bales and cornstalks for halloween at our farm. I live in western pennsylvania. What do you think is the average price you would pay for each?

Answer 1

I am in Michigan, and what we normally see is the smaller ones, probably to small to carve, as usually 2 for a $1.00.  They then go up a dollar for each size and usually the biggest ones are around $7.00.   I don't know about hay, and the corn stalks are usually around $5.00 for a group of 5-7, what ever makes a nice bundle.  Depends on the size of your stalks!!  

Answer 2

Okay, first of all is it hay bales or straw bales and are they small square bales?  If it is hay they usually go for about 3.00 around here and straw bales sell for 2.00.  As for pumpkins depending on the size but they usually start at 1.50 on up.  The corn stalks usually range around 4.00 a bundle of about 4.

Good luck I think it is nice that you are doing this.  I would love to be able to do that.

Answer 3

I work at a garden and nursery center in Nebraska and we get pumpkins in that sell for 1.99 for the smaller and mid size ones (big enough to carve) and the large ones are 3.99.  Our regular size straw bales are 5.99 and the half size are 3.99 (yea i know, a dollar difference...but the half bales are more of a novelty thing we only get in the fall)  Our corn stalks are 9.99 for a bunch.  I'd guess there are 6-8 stalks per bunch..they are pretty good size.  

As a retail store our prices are pretty fair per the market...we have a pumpkin patch outside our city and I know their prices are comparable if not slightly more expensive (especially for the pumpkins)

Answer 4

a pumpkins in is about 2 dollars.bail of hay is 100.00dollars.

Answer 5

I agree with the person above me, hay bales usually go for 3.00 and straw bales go for 2.00. I would know just because we have goats and horses. I know nothing about the pumpkins.
