Title: Package Prices this year
Post by: Zweefer on March 16, 2022, 09:33:34 am
What are you all paying for packages this year?
A Two lb is 121 and three is 142.  I've seen as high as 199 for a three pound package being charged form a regional farming store! :o

Locally, I have seen 3 # packages for $179.  I am on the mailing list for a supplier in Texas.  He is selling 3# pkg. for $199. An interesting note... the same local supplier selling for $179 is getting his packages from the same supplier in Texas that is selling them for $199.

Competitive pricing.  I paid $165 for my first two packages 5 years ago.
