price for powders?

[rickster]

i will making some powders this weekend, some friends want to buy some from me but im not sure what to charge them, any ideas?

Id start with a price / weight comparison with what is sold in stores. Of course home grown product will be much more fresh so at that point you could either tack on 10-20% or give them a friendship discount vs what you'd charge retail?
 
But i'd imagine that would be a good starting point.

If it's only a couple friends give it out free. If they insist you take some money it will most likely be more than you'd ask for anyway, like a fiver or tenner.
 
PS. If you are a hobbyist you should not be selling at this point anyway. Sell once you get at the farmers market level, if that is your goal, to grow as a biz.

yeah just tell them to pay it forward, grab some beers for next time we meet up. or have them make you some food or something.

How do you guys normally set prices for Farmers market level?

Interesting discussion. I see my podiatrist every 2-3 months and last visit he asked me what exercise I was getting and explained what it takes to tend 40-50 hot pepper plants in 5gal. pails and he asked how hot? Told him I'd drop off a blend on my next visit and did so today. Now remember I'm giving his office a $25 co-pay plus whatever my insurance coughs up but seeing his face as he inhaled the "blend" I put together for a neophyte made me smile.
