Retail This Year

[backyardsugarer]

It's time to set my retail price for this year and I am thinking about freezing my prices from last year because of the economy and all. My current prices are $6 1/2 pint $10 Pint $17 Quart $30 Half Gallon
$55 Gallon

Thoughts from others in the region.

I will keep mine the same as last year except I will bump up my plastic quart jug price up 50 cents to help with the high cost of each jug. Around $1.25 each jug. I charge $12.50 quart jug....$12.00 quart glass....$7.00 pints....$6.00 3/4 pints....$5.00 1/2 pints.....Might go up with my fancy leaf bottles just cause their a pain to fill. Will go to Roth's open house on Thursday to get all my containers. That will be $1000.00 bucks going bye-bye.

ksnorton, your price is exactly what mine is. Some folks were even pushing $45/gal. near me. This season I plan to not retail any. I need the quick bulk cash to help pay for improvements this year. Probably jug up 15 gal. for x-mas gifts and table usage amongst family.

It's a free market, not sure that referring to someone else's prices is robbery is appropiate. I raised my quarts to $ 13 and pints to $ 7.50 up from $ 12 and $ 7 and if they buy a gallon, it is in quarts as I don't package any larger containers as I can't sell it.

My first price increase in 4 years.

What are you guys from NH selling gallons for? I recall NH having the highest priced gallons on average of the syrup producing states - somewhere over $60?

Mine are $5 half pint, $8 3/4 pint, $16 qt, $24 half, $46 gallon.

Last years price was:

gal $45
1/2 g $25
gt $15
pt $8

I'm now down to my last 5 gal drum and another 5 or so gallons in jugs.

Fred,
If you think $55 a gal is high, I was in Vt the first of Dec. and in a small town north of Brattleboro, this gal in a restaurant I was in showed me a gal. she paid $85 for, and it was Vt syrup.It is not robbery if the customer gives you the money willingly.

Our prices are the same as perryw's and we are out of syrup.
