Notes for Produce Stand Sales and Inventory

Good News!!! For the past two weeks the discrepancy between our theoretical and actual revenue has substantially decreased! Last week (2/5/10) the difference was $3.08 and this week (2/12/10) our difference was ...$0.30! So lets keep this up by continuing to carefully weigh or count all our items' beginning and ending amounts, and referring to the new price list.

Our total revenue for the past two weeks was around $108. Our quarterly average revenue is roughly $117. This unfortunately still puts us in the red (last week:47.15; this week:58.10) So try to get a friend to come to the stand and purchase something. With just $50-60 more dollars of revenue we would be breaking even. That roughly translates to around 4-7 more shopping customers.

Items that were transferred were all within resonable quantities and weights.

Items that sold well last week include the following: apples, tangelos, kale, lettuce, broccoli, and beets.

However, I would not recommend harvesting the beets out on the farm for the next few weeks in order to let them grow to a larger and more desirable, selling size (at least the size of a closed fist).

For detailed information on the quantities sold for each item visit the Produce Stand Sales Summary link located in the upper right hand corner of this blog.

Also, please remember to write in your working hours on the ending disposition and labor summary sheet.
