There is no doubt about the quality of your piggies, and the side we made into bacon is delicious. Having been at your place when your neighbour turned up with her van of veggies, I think one possible half way point for you would be to maybe hire or borrow a small refrigerated van once a month and do a delivery run yourself locally. That way you can spend the rest of the month with the pigs, building up your marketing, dealing with people who are happy to come to you, and also taking pre opders so on that one day you can plan an effective route and deliver the rest. You see that happening in some areas with travelling fishmongers, if you also have 'surplus' on the van, you will probably find that when you stop to drop off an order the buyers neighbours will come for a nose round, and you make a few more sales, or will decide to try a new sausage recipe, just because it is there.
Just a thought, but it might be a way to test the scope of the market in the early days. Target the local restaraunts too, get that website up to get the information about your meat out there, and see what happens. People will come back for more, we've already ordered our next pig having tried it once, I don't think that will be an unusual occurrance. |
