Okay now you have me hitting my wholesale accounts to price out their components. These are wholsale prices.
Perennial ryegrass $1.25/lb
Hard Fescue $1.30/lb
Quattro Sheep Fescue $1.60/lb
English daisy $180/lb
White Yarrow Est $150/lb(short supply this year so I get the “call for quote” aka we are screwing you over.
White Clover $2.45/lb
Sweet allysum $59/lb
Baby Blue Eyes $33/lb
Strawberry clover (out of stock usually around $5/lb).
Now if you ditched the grasses and just bought the flowers you would need around 1.5lbs for 1/3 of an acre. Pricing it out would depend upon the blend percentages but would guess it to be somewhere around $100/lb so $150 for 1.5lbs. Plus blending cost of around $80 (time + equipment). The total COGs would be around $230.
The total blend original blend would be around $300. They are pulling around a 50% margin on that blend.
I really need to increase my margins. I just sold 20lbs of a pollinator blend to an orchard at only a 20% margin. Sigh…
