Not for nothing, but try to refrain from turning a hobby into something that drives down the price of a product for others. The number of people I see coming here learning to make syrup with no established market to sell to is eye opening. Personally, I think we're on the way to self ruin with too many producers and not enough consumers. The free market will settle itself out eventually, but in the meantime, longterm producers are apt to take a beating. We have a market, we'll survive, but many others are investing money into a "hobby" turned business that is quickly becoming saturated.
Make a quality product.
Promote a quality product.
Don't sell for less than it costs you to produce.
