For those of you who deliver your on-farm direct marketed beef, (or other
products) have you been satisfied with performing this service or was it a
mistake in terms of the increased time spent on delivery?

Did you try if for a period of time and then discontinue doing it? Or once
you did it, found it a wise marketing tool?

We are thinking of making deliveries on packages or individual cuts
totalling $50 or more and doing it within a 40 mile radius.

Did you find that most of your regular customers stopped coming to the farm
and had you deliver, or did you find it mostly increased sales to the folks
who will not come to the farm but who might buy if delivered.

Thanks for any input.

Sincerely,

Rick Williams
