This document is part of the 2020 series of organic cost of production (COP) models prepared by the Organic Council of Ontario. This particular model focuses on the organic production of salad greens based on financial data from 2018.
This resource enables a producer from a working market garden to use budget figures to determine their approximate full Costs of Production (COP) for organic salad greens. This can be used by either large or small-scale growers, for seasonal outdoor production, with or without season-extension hoop-houses, and/or year-round greenhouse production which includes microgreens. It could also be modified to work for additional market garden vegetables. The results can serve as a valuable guide for business decision-making, and understanding elements of profitability.
