Approach it from a cost perspective. What is your cost to create the
loaf? Include at least the following:
1) cost of ingredients
2) fractional value of your kitchen
If you own the kitchen, what would it cost to rent it long enough
to produce a loaf? Or a thousand loaves.
3) labor
Pay others or pay yourself what you want to earn.
4) vehicle cost to and from market
Probably around $.25/mile will cover it.
5) packaging costs
6) selling costs
Your time at market. Your time traveling. Time preparing to go to
market.
7) "shrink"
You want to be paid for the product not sold, including samples.
If you are happy working for the value you place on your labor, then
you need not apply a mark-up.
