So I've done a few batches of beef jerky and they've come out great. Been using my friends, family and coworkers as testers and everyone loves just about every type I do. Been trying to perfect the marinades and I got it pretty close. I plan on selling a few batches to some close friends and I want to get a few things together so I can start marketing and selling some in a few local stores. I've come up with a name, design, the recipes, how I'm going to label and package. I plan on registering a small business, getting a vacuum sealer and getting some labels made up.
For now someone I know sells big batches of jerky whatever style you want it for $40 for a big bag. He gets a 5-6# roast and with all the cost going in comes out with about $20 profit for his time. Next batch I do I plan on costing everything out so I get a good idea of costs.
I was wondering if anyone on this site has been selling jerky or commercially selling. If so any tips would be helpful. I know how to cost things out and i got a lot of great ideas. I need to do some more research and find out if I need to get my product approved, and what I need on the label as far as ingredients and nutritional.
Any tips and advice would be great!
