Re: Pricing

 

Hi Jesse thanks for sending me your bulk prices I will look them over carefully. However yes I am referring to your prices in comparison to other organic vendors Sun Organic, Trader Joes, and my local Co-Op. The fact that one would have to buy 50lbs of this that and the other just to get a reasonable price is reflective of your high prices.

Thanks,Christian BlackburnRaw Sacramento Web DeveloperHTTP://www.RawSacramento.org

This olive oil¹s signature is the devotion of its producers and the life force of the wondrous fertile soil, water, air and sunlight of the great Central Valley about 50 miles south of Mt. Shasta.
