4$ a pound, how do you intend to scale, assuming that a winery would only be interested in large allotments. I would suspect that greenhouse based operation in wine country would be far more expensive to main than the standard vineyard. Have you written anything about the economics of the enterprise?

Hi! Thanks for the question.

I haven’t written anything, or really thought this far ahead yet. But $4/pound is close to what they sell greenhouse grown tomatoes for, and their yield/sqft is likely similar to what I could get. I do not suspect that the greenhouse will be located in wine country, as land is too expensive there.
