Getting ready for our first Garden of Eatin' sale

For your blog today please make sure to include:

1. Recipe for Marjoram pasta and pictures of Production making it.
2. Pictures of labels for our packaging.
3. The questions from our customer satisfaction survey and why it is important to get this information.
4. Our cost-benefit analysis:
a. Determine fixed costs: employees (number of hours x hourly wage) up to the date.
b. Determine variable costs: Projected total cost of materials divided by the number of units= Material cost per unit.
c. Since we know the price we can determine the "break even point." How many units must we sell to break even?
d. How many units have we sold so far? Have we reached the "break even point" or have we made profits? What are the projected profits as of today?

5. Your reflection of the team and the morning. How did we do? Do you feel we accomplished a lot? Why or why not? What did you enjoy? etc.

When I was at the farm gathering our marjoram and herbs, Camilla, the farm manager offered us her harvests from three berms: baby spinach, mixed greens and radishes. We are so lucky!
