Pricing
Pricing your products can be a difficult exercise. In the long run, the price paid to the producer has to be high enough to sustain the production and distribution costs; yet it has to be low enough to allow a profitable retail (or wholesale) sales margin. 
Factors involved in your pricing decision include your production and marketing costs; plus your processing, packaging, and delivery costs. Just how much more should you charge for a “locally grown”, “sustainably produced” or “farm-fresh” product? How much less than farmers’ market prices should you expect a restaurant to pay? These are all helpful questions to ask yourself. Below we have a variety of resources to help you answer these questions.

Best Practices
You may not be able to charge a full "farmer's market" price in every marketing channel.
Be sure to estimate your costs of producing and delivering your product. The budgets linked above are a helpful tool to use when doing this.
Research prices for similar products. Price reports are very helpful in this aspect.
Understand why buyers might value your product more tan a wholesale product - local, farm-fresh, etc.
Be prepared with quotes for your buyer. This is usually seen as a quote per pound price.
