While it's good to have a bulk buyer you are comfortable with, it's far more profitable to sell it all retail. Develop your retail market and you will make more money. Bulk is a hard way to show a profit, heck, even retail is but not as hard as bulk.
I sell all at retail and even have to buy some bulk at times, and I'm on 1000 taps all on vacuum.
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.

2015 - 3 taps, cooked on the kitchen stove. bad idea, but intrigued....
2016 - 10 taps, turkey fryer on the deck, great fun, but $17/pint to produce, so....
2017 - 22 taps, outdoor fire pit with pans we designed. Did not lose more money.
2018 - no taps, resting up for 2019
2019 - 99 taps planned, building an RO system, purchasing an evaporator, Maple Jet filter, and a bottler
2020 - 250 taps planned
