OK. I am still a newbie but have grown my own hops for 6 years now, ever so slowly expanding the yard to where I now have 180 healthy plants and plan to have 300 within 3 years.
I now want to start selling them. I HAVE been selling them but to friends and what not for cheap or christmas presents stuff like that.
What is a good starting point to sell them for to small homebrewers and friends via the internet?
What is a common wholesale price? -10% ? -20%
I do not have a pelletizer yet but working on it, just a vacuum sealer.
I do not want to sell huge volumes, but rather by the ounce or quarter pound,etc. which I feel is really the only way to actually turn a decent profit with only 180 plants.
Can organizations such as Northeast Hop Alliance help you sell your product? Or simply move it in bulk for $15 per pound or whatever like the breweries want. ?
Thanks.
