This isn't a business for profit for him. He has a full time job. This is his hobby.

I would be happy paying $20 per pound, no matter how much we buy. Generally when you get really high quality, home-made food, it costs MORE than the sh!t you buy in stores. This guy charges us less from the get-go. And when you're dealing with fresh food, larger orders are harder to put together.

His shipping prices are right on par with all the other shipping that I deal with.

And to address an earlier issue: one of my shops bought 6lbs of jerky from me on the last order that I delivered by car (early Nov?). They still have one bag remaining in their fridge. There are no signs of mold. Follow his instructions, and this stuff can last, fresh, for a while.
