Help me price my cheese please

[PrettyPaisley]

Okay-I have friends and acquaintances who would like to buy some of the cheese I make here at home. Keep in mind, I am just making basic chevre and fromage blanc with direct set cultures I buy online and then some raw that I make from a regular culture with rennet.

Locally a certified goat dairy sells 1/4oz for $5 at the farmers market. These guys sell out each Saturday and they do not even sample!

What should I charge for this cheese? I'd like to sell it is 4oz, 8oz and 10oz sizes.

Thoughts?

I'm not much help, but at the store (food maxx) there is goat cheese (about a fist size) that sells for about $5

I sell Chevre and Feta for $16.00 lb, and sell out at the farmers market every weekend.
Hard cheeses are $24.00lb and Camembert is $32.00lb

Dollar an ounce for chevre.

More for hard cheeses.

Not that I sell any, as it's not legal.

Of course, Alice. I won't sell it, just trade for shiney coins.

I was thinking $1 an ounce so I'm on track. I don't have a way to make hard cheese yet but hopefully will soon!

Thanks!
