I am interested in the thoughs of others on thier pricing if you are selling direct at a farmers market or the like....Mine is Federally Inspected. This allows me to sell individual packages.
I was a little bit aprehensive about backlash.....Went to the market with a new price sheet this year....
Burger was raised from $3.00/lb to $3.50.....
1/2 Beef from $2.00/lb to $2.20........
I did check around a little before, mainly supermarkets and such.....Well....I kept hearing how reasonably priced my Beef was....I have always heard how good it is from repeats, but only once did I hear it was too high. This from an elderly lady on a budget who has not price compared like products.
Going up on price allowed me to make a Bulk pack price where if they buy 10 pounds or more, the Burger price is $3.00/ lb....This entices people to buy plenty of mine and reduces the numbe of times they run out and get a pound at the store...
One couple had priced beef at diferent meat markets and couldn't get a side for less than $2.38, cut and wraped, so maybe I am a lot low there...
I check Safeway today and my oh my.........I am maybe a little low. Roasts approaching $4.00/lb, Most of mine are $3.00/lb.......
Something about "Expensive" that maybe put it in Perspective....Mrs. PPRM decided to make these Scented defoliating scrubs that had a Lemon Aroma to them as something she could sell on the side. The scrubs are something sold at a Spa and acts as a Exfoliant for skin care.....The Jar cost about $2.50 to make and she sold them for $5.00...Sold out...
In perspective, she can make a dozen in an hour....and her wait for this payback was 24 hours...LOL....I am about 24-30 months from when I breed a cow to when the beef from the calf is completely sold at the market,
