How much do people sell their syrup for? (per gallon=4 liters)

I sell mine for only $8/liter to my coworkers. It is dirt cheap for them but i can sell everything i bring. It is convenient but not very profitable.

There are people around here selling some for $15/liter.

Mark, Don't know much about the canadien market but here in VT a gal sells form 25-40 a gal. half gallons sell from 15-23.guarts 9-13. and pints 4-6............Like on some of the jugs say if you had to tap,gather,boil and bottle the stuff "How much would you charge"!!!!!!! Id sell it for 12 a litre......unless you get your jugs free, id up my price.......Just my opinion....Mike

$4 half pint..........$6 pint.........$10 qt.........$35 gallon, no problem with those prices.. still maybe too cheap, but it works for me

I agree with with Jeremy, don't cut your throat and bleed from all your hard work.Especially with fuel and supplies prices now a days. We sell for $40/gal ,$11/qt ,$7/pt and$5/ 1/2 pt. All grades same price.Why not get top $$$$$ especially when your syrup is the best. Well ,better than that syrup from the deep south. :wink: :P :P :lol: :lol:

I sell a QT 9.00 1/2 gal. 17.00 gallons 30.00

I agree with if you can sell for more!! I figure this year was to get our name out, next year I may go up a buck on the qts and pints... maybe do $38 on a gallon, but for lots of people doing the even $$ makes it easier, qt for 10 is real popular!!

The prices I am seeing in Maine right now are (for syrup in PLASTIC jugs--glass is more): $40/ gallon, $23/half-gallon, $14/quart, $8/ pint, $5/half-pint and $3 for anything smaller.

These numbers are on the high end, and I have seen about a $1 to $2 fluctuation on some of them.

I have always sold mine for $ 10 @ quart and $ 6 @ pint since I started years ago. In WV, we have to charge sales tax on everything. So with sales tax, it is $ 10.60 @ quart and $ 6.36 @ pint. I am going to raise it to $ 11 @ quart and $ 6.50 @ pint next year and include sales tax in the price. I sell a lot to people I go to church with and other family friends and they forget about sales tax and I don't want to ask them, so next year, I will tell them the price includes tax!

In Highland County Virginia which is a couple of hours from me, they make 5,000 to 10,000 gallons each year or maybe a lot more than that and all the producers are selling it for $ 11 or $ 12 per quart.

I don't fool with anything larger than a quart because I have found out over the years that is what I get stuck with because people don't want the larger sizes. Some people will buy 2 or 3 gallons of quarts and pay more even if I have the 1/2 gallons or gallon jugs available.

Besides, I make more money from the quarts and they take up less space in the fridge. :D

[backyardsugarer]

1/2 pint $3.50 Pint $6 Quart $10 1/2 gallon $19 Gallon $37. I also do a lot of glass and that varies depending on the price of the container.

I have found candy to be very profitable. People will pay a dollar an ounce and 1 quart of syrup makes over 30 ounces of candy so you can increase your profit if you are good at making candy.

We only bottle in pint mason jars, and charge $6/pt.. All the syrup we sell goes to NYC via a local farmer. Our syrup helps suppliment his limited offerings, given the time of year. He thinks I should raise the price to $7. I'm fortunate to have access to his markets and I get a good discount when I order my jars through him.
