Bought bulk einkorn wheat today, will pick up in a week or so, 4 totes worth.
Sea can fmarrived today, of course when only one person is here…. other than small things like citrus and some vegitables, I buy in process or size and break down some I sell local to pay for it.
Example buy 1 metric ton of salt for 700 shipping is 150 sell a 50 lb bag for 100 and you are still 20 percent cheaper than online store. Your sale value is around 4400 your cost is under 1000 including packaging.
Wheat einkorn 1800 per ton bag it after milling to flour for 75 per 50 lb bag 3200 of you sell it all.
I buy bulk white death sugar and cane sugar, buying in metric tons and repackaging is easy, bee kèpeers buy alot of sugar, we have local bee keeping club I sell them about 2 tonnes a year in bags.
Don’t bother with stores as markup is huge if you have space use it to your advantage and repackage ileveryday items with long to no expiry dates.
Bee people always need frames and boxes, made deal with the pensioners to make them in local wood shop, I supply the materials they the labour and we split the profit, this year we have orders for over 1500 full sets of frames and boxes because we are 5 percent cheaper than the big company. We also use the scrap from local saw Mills to make the frames.
