    we are selling ours for $12.50 pt., $25 qt. I am selling ours to our archery club members as a fund raiser. I am collecting the sap, and boiling on the property. All the syrup sold goes to the club, as I am donating it. I don't know if you want to lower the price if the volume sold goes up for instance,, $12,50 pt. $23 qt. $75 a gal. I was told by one member, he wanted a gallon, I told him $100. he said fine, but again this is our fund raiser, good luck

    Sold it for $9.00 a pint last year, $17.00 a quart. Selling only pints this year, $10.00 each. Sold 3.5 gallons already so I guess the price is okay. Ted

    what ever covers your costs with a profit. if you owe the USDA a lot of money you need to charge top price. if you like me with very low overhead 35 a gal, three for 100. 20 for 1/2, 10 for qt.
    its more than bulk at 24 a gal

    I sell pt $10, Qt $17, Half gal $27 and Gal $52. Been doing well at those prices.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    So where are we all this year for pricing? I'll just be selling pints and quarts.
    2010 - barrel stove & a steam table pan. 10 - 12 trees
    2011 - same deal as the year before. My son is now hooked along with me.
    2012 - Took over the garden shed and set up a Mason 2x3. Hoping to tap 30 - 50 trees. Ended up with 100 taps out.
    Finished the season with 16 gallons made
    2013- - Purchased a Smokey Lake 2 x 3 Hybrid pan. WOW, what a difference!!

    At the end of the season when I am wore down, what ever it is doesnt seam to be enough!!
    In general I don't think we get enough for the syrup. Its a lot of work and investment to make a finished food product.
