What I love about you guys is the honesty and hard work that goes into your products. You make no bones about it, to quality for top price. If people only knew what it takes in labor for all those it would be $50 a bird no doubt. I do eggs and Cornish Cross Hens. Just to go through the wintery snow to feed this broilers and layers have practically killed me. I have no problem selling my eggs for $5 a dozen and I stocked our freezer with 30 Cornish Cross and now I’ve got 15 more that I’m looking to sell.
My goal was to sell eggs to pay for their feed because we live on a ski resort and even with snow melted the wildlife would kill them free range or pasture fed. Mountain lions everywhere here in Utah.
Thanks for being so real and staying in business.
I have 5 layer hens in my backyard and after having established a feeding routine, I decided to calculate daily cost of feeding, bedding, and other supplies (cost of coup and run...my time not included) and I came up with a breakeven of .$.50 per egg. This is an eye opener as to how much quality food costs.
It’s sure is but you’re on the right track. You have to know your costs. Thanks for watching!
Great video and thank you for your honesty it helps those of us starting to sell our farm raised products
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
Thank you so much for that update brother.
God bless you and your family.
Thanks Darryl. Appreciate y’all watching
I really appreciate this video. It's about a fairly narrow topic, and you got right to the point. I rarely have 20 or more minutes to sit in front of my computer unless I have work to do. Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback. That helps me produce future videos. Appreciate y’all watching
Loved the details, looking forward to the primal break downs
Thanks for the info Chuck, I really like the business info videos.
Thanks. We’ll try to do some more of those. Appreciate y’all watching
I'm extremely happy for you and Saundra! I hope those numbers continue to grow and multiply!
Thanks for the info brotha I don't think I can get what you can above the mountain but I do what I can y'all stay safe and stay happy
Different markets demand different prices. Find those markets that appreciate and are willing to pay for your quality. Thanks for watching!
While that is very true, I think more and more people are startling to learn about benefit of buying from small farms.
I think so too. People are concerned with supporting local and buying a better product.
Great sales totals, I thought turkey would be in top 5 but oh well. Keep doing a great job on the farm I learn a lot from y’all. God bless.
I think it would be if we grew more of it. Was just talking about that very thing with Saundra. Thanks for watching
What a great video, you all are doing great! I raise Berks, hereford cattle,always did grain fed before,these are our new project...grass fed beef!, Honeybees. My question is are you able to process @ sell your own poultry? Beef,Pork, or is this all processed in a USDA facility.
Beef and pork are. We do Poultry on the farm. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing this part of your farm. God bless
Thanks you so much, Chuck.
Appreciate y’all watching.
More power to you Bro for the money you can get for your product...WOW !! Your area people must make big money. I'm in KY & work hard to get half that. We sell pasture pure Berkshire....Waygu cross beef...so premium products....In your state are you able to butcher your own chicken?? Here we have to go through usda which makes processing cost really high . Enjoy your videos....always educational. Thanks
I really enjoy the more business minded updates!
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching. We’ll do some more of those.
I love the business low down videos too. Much needed.
Thanks. I’ve had a number of people mention that. We’ll try to do more of it.
Mate it's great to hear that all your hard work is paying off, Our goal is to do what you do with processing pork, and selling to customers.
Thank you for sharing! Are most of your sales from farmers markets? Where else do you sell?
Happy for your success. many wishes for continued growth.
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
You are blessed with rich customers! I get about 1/2 what you get here in WV
You have to go where the money is. It’s out there.
Great information thanks for sharing
Thanks!
That’s great! How many chickens do you have?
Grear Job guys. Does the processor in asheboro process poultry too? Im 20 minutes away from asheboro.
Can you help me break down my potential revenue numbers if Im doing 2000 chickens in 5 acres. Potentially doing 4 rounds of 2000 chickens
They do not. NC will allow you to do on farm processing.
That’s tough without knowing your specifics. Lots of variables I don’t know about your operation.
Thank you brother!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing these information. I guess it makes sense that ground beef is the most popular because people love hamburger haha.
Yeah. We sell a ton of it. Thanks for watching
Well done!
I’d love to hear what you get for your bulk meats.
Thanks. We can cover that in a video sometime. Appreciate y’all watching
Now that’s really good food. Bacon, eggs and waffles would make a good breakfast. Also the ground beef works perfect for tacos.
We are lucky to get to enjoy it every day.
What processer do you guys use I’d like to ask them what packaging they use I’m trying to get our processor to use the nice black back
Piedmont Custom Meats in Asheboro NC
I liked this video I’d like to see what the most profitable product you sell is. After all cost is taken out. We sell a lot of eggs and a lot of chicken but at the end of the day once we subtract cost it’s not much left
So basically you can retire now? 😂. Just jokin around! Lot of blood sweat and tears went in to making that! Keep up the great work, videos and service you provide to your community with superior products and health benefits to the customers that consume them.
Yeah. Closing on our beach house next week. 🤣🤣. Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
Wait. I might just be getting this confused but when you said no more grain after they get to your farm... Do they get grain before that?
We buy stockers (700-800 lb steers) and bring them here to finish. We don’t always know what they have had prior to us getting them.
It takes about 30 days to work the any grain out of their digestive system.
@@SheratonParkFarms I looked up the USDA rules on this. You can't use the label if the animal has eaten anything other than forage. I mean, it's just a little fraud, you know. And we all know you fed the animals soy junk food or some shit in that video where you had a metric ton of expired morning star farms soy nuggets dumped off and you fed that to the animals and were still calling them grass fed then too. Your ethics are trash.
@@SheratonParkFarms thanks for that information…always wondered about getting animals from other farms who were fed grain.
No problem. We wait a minimum of 90 days prior to processing. We want to give them plenty of time to clear their system and start putting in “grass weight”.
I’m surprised that you can get $7-8/dozen eggs. We have people competing with us at $5/dozen, but they’re selling them for $2/dozen. I’m not playing that game. We need to recover costs and make a little profit, or why bother?
It’s in the market you are selling to. Find somewhere there are people who appreciate how you raise eggs and are willing to pay for it.
I live kinda close to Knoxville Tennessee.. about 25 minutes away. In my hometown 3 bucks a dozen is about right. Drive that 25 minutes and they’re selling them for UP TO 15 BUCKS A DOZEN!!
@@SheratonParkFarms Problem is, Camden TN is in the middle of nowhere. No upscale markets around here. Paris is 30 mins away but then I have to add fuel expense.
It’s all in the market and location.
Wowza. An 18pack of commericial eggs in my small town grocery in northern mn is 8.56.
I couldn't afford you. 😪 I usually buy the 18 egg pack and pay about $2.99 for it, i also buy the chub hambuger at Walmart and hope it doesn't make me sick. Same with whole chickens, chicken breasts in a 5lb bag, I think I paid $6.99 last go round. $4.99 for the hambuger as I only buy the 7% fat hambuger. My bacon is Black Label and 1 lb is about $8.99. I'm on a very small fixed SS check so I only buy meat once every other month, and the off month I stock up on condiments and canned goods fruits and vegi's. Wish I could afford to buy your meats and eggs 🥚. I know they are healthy. I don't know what I'm getting at Walmart, but it's all I can afford. Thanks for sharing what price you sell your meats at.
Sorry you are on such a tight budget. I know it forces you into tough choices. Really appreciate y’all watching
I love what you do and appreciate all your and Sandra's hard work. I just wish I could afford to buy fresh pasture fed meats.
Do you mind me asking what mill you get your hog feed from Im also in NC looking for a better bulk option
It comes from G&M Milling in Statesville but we buy from a distributor, Harmon Family Farm in Trinity.
@@SheratonParkFarms Oh ok I have used them myself along with boggs mill, thank you for your reply.
Excellent
does your processor cure /smoke bacon and hams?
Smoke but do not cure.
Does the processor require usda certification to resell package meat?
Not the processor but the feds do.
@@SheratonParkFarms Can you just sell the animal in half or whole to the consumer and simply let them deal directly with any processor they choose, whether or not that processor is USDA certified?,
@@McRod-1 yes we can but choose not to. We want to control the customers experience and when you outsource part of the process you lose control over that. I love out processor but don’t trust them with MY customer.
@@SheratonParkFarms I agree with your statement. I was thinking about an alternative for areas with more price sensitive consumers thinking that the processor is adding considerable to your cost. Consumers like options.
Do you ship? I'm in Florida, I'd love to order..
I’m glad you asked! We are looking for some folks to test shipping on. Send us an email and let’s talk specifics. Saundra@sheratonparkfarms.com
Great! I'll do that first thing on Monday morning (sooooo busy with Autumn chores, as I'm sure you know!)-
Thank you & have a wonderful rest of your weekend! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
Gross 21k? Whats Net?
Not sure on these 5 items specifically.
@@SheratonParkFarms It's easy to get exicted about gross sales, but every product has associated costs involved in its production. NET sales is what matters at the end of the day. By meticulously tracking your expenses you will know your profit (sell price minus expenses), and more importantly, your profit margin (profit divided by sell price). Without knowing if your numbers are working in your favor, one can be busy but not profitable. It's only a matter of time before one burns through the cash. But I trust this isn't true for you.
Thanks for the input. Yes, we have a very clear picture of what our net profits are. We track input costs that others usually view as negligible or not important. We’ve been in the direct to consumer retail sales business for 5 years. Hard to do that without knowing your numbers.
Are the Bells the number one buyers 🤣🤣
Indeed they are!!!!
💯
Thanks for watching!
👍
Thanks for watching
I could not with a clear conscience charge those prices to people. I mean I guess it’s great if you can get it but I wasn’t raised like that. If my dad saw tomatoes for $2 a pound he would say that is $120 a bushel which is what 60# per bushel would be. I always thought the best chance for success in farming was to get paid by the actual consumer which is what you are doing. And you have a public willing to pay your price, so fine. To me this is price gouging and I could not do it.
John, get up every morning and go out in the heat, cold, raid, snow and wind then stay out past dark to feed water and care for these animals. Pay our feed costs, fuel costs, mortgage and processing costs. Maintain the infrastructure, pay the staff, marketing costs, booth rent at the markets and utilities. Then add all those input costs and tell me how you are going to make any kind of living without charging a price that you can survive on. I’m not in this to starve or even squeak by.
Sounds like you need more bacon!
Yep. Problem is to get more bacon we still have to work through sausages and roasts. If I could breed a pig that was all bacon I’d get out of farming. 😆
I would never pay your prices
We are expense for sure.
Jesus Christ. These prices you sell for are insane. Lmao.
I know! Right?!?!
