Hey everyone! I am so excited, I just connected with a new local restaurant opening that is specializing in Peruvian food. I also happen to be growing some Peruvian peppers this season! Long story short, he's down to buy from me direct before he purchases peppers or anything from anyone else!! I have over 35 varities of peppers on the go right now (Peruvian, Mexican, New Mexican, and some random super hots and mild/sweets). I also grow my chiles on a certified organic farm. Based off the BC Organic price list, and other info I find online, I am thinking of averaging $10/lb, regardless of variety. My wife feels this is undercutting and I should be looking at more $15-$20/lb. He's mostly interested in my Peruvian peppers, but I think he's up for buying whatever he can from me, even a bunch of non-pepper related produce we had discussed.
I want to be fair priced for the overall market, but also understanding I'm "new to the game", and wanting to be a fair price for this restaurant. From our initial conversation this could be a massive win and possibly longterm anchor client to me making this a more professional venture.
Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!
