- Least expensive order is a 5-pound box for $34.95
- Runs on Shopify
- As they're seasonal, there are some built-in scarcity aspects I hadn't thought of (which is kind of neat business wise).
Two aspects I might try if this was my business:
1. Some kind of "Chef/Restaurant" option
2. An option to send 1 beautiful onion (ala the referenced Harry and David's)
I sincerely believe that our society would be much happier and healthier if top-shelf/"celebrity" vegetables existed that could cost $XX, sort of like in Japan.
Someone would probably pay $1000+ for "The best dozen onions of the season"

Vegetables can vary by an order of magnitude in nutritional density based on growing and harvest conditions. I wish there was a way to pay 10x for vegetables that are reliably 10x more nutritionally dense (as verified by laboratory analysis of random samples from every harvest).
What could make an onion beautiful enough to buy for $100/ea? If you made these, I bet you'd find a market in Japan. Could make a good gift for people who like cooking.
