I also paid cash for everything, (actually I put much of it on a card, but paid the card off when the bill came) but I figure that my time would not be worth it if I sold bulk at $2.00/#. My prices have remained unchanged for almost 10 years and I'll stay there. $12/Qt doesn't interest me either.
I sell everything at retail and it takes all year, so I count it as year round. Yes it is front heavy on the work, but then it slows down. Except for when I need to pack more from SS barrels into retail I spend less than 30 minutes a day after the season clean-up has finished. That gives me lots of time to work my blueberries and my sawmill along with honey-do projects. My website at the bottom of my signature has my 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.
