[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All organic materials. Out of season berries. Even Safeway charges $30 for a large fruit tart made with crap. [/quote]

Whole foods 8 inch apple or pear tarts are $16.  The mixed fruit is $22.  Taste and ingredients similar to Safeway, Giant, etc. The $75 per size 8 inch support a local private business tart better have been baked fresh that day using nothing but the best fresh fruit and that price point is higher than the crap free Amphora or Little Austria.  Local businesses with store fronts.

A product label is from a small business that made great stuff and got a contract to supply the larger store.   A wegmans for example will carry micro regional products.  So what might be available in northern MD might not be in the DMV.

The kringles at Trader Joe's are from this https://www.ohdanishbakery.com/everyday-kringle-favorites?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=6657369328&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7rf4r4C79AIVGa_ICh1jXQcIEAAYASAAEgKSPfD_BwE

Read above. OP said they were $45 for the 8”.[/quote]

My long post in the quote.  The $45 sounds more reasonable. So I make tarts and pies.  The level of labor on a berry tart is so much less than apple or pear or anything that requires peeling fruit and arranging in precision format thinly sliced pieces.  Dough is not complicated nor does it require Olympic level rolling skills.  Berries are used whole -rinsed, dried, and placed in whatever design you choose to make.  Strawberries are sliced or whole.  [/quote]
