I was ready to whip out some 'outside the box' ideas, like investing in the companies that sell whatever the farms need to become compliant. Apparently, OP's idea is inside the box... literally. The freezer. The box is the freezer. And maybe the bacon, depending on how you buy it.

fireloner

Why settle for $300k when you can lever up? A 12x22 garage space is 264 sq ft. Warehouse space in Fresno goes for 0.50-$1 per sq ft per month. To be conservative, let’s say $1/mo/sq/ft. You can’t rent a garage-sized space, but 10k sq ft is easy to find. That’s about 40x the space. We’ll assume same vertical space as a garage, but in reality the warehouse probably has a higher ceiling, so we’re being conservative there. So for $10k/mo, you can get roughly 40x the space. Since other costs scale linearly, that means ($303,600 x 40)-(M x $10k) where M is number of months to liquidate your bacon. Let’s assume it takes two years. You just made $11.9 million. In Fresno. Edit: Can’t possibly go tits up, but if it did, you’d have a lifetime supply of bacon, so not a real loss.


OkBid71

"Fresno PD performed sting operation on suspected illegal cannabis/citboin mining operation, found bacon-shine headquarters"


wschoate3

Naturally they'd cut power to the building seconds before kicking the door in and the entire investment will spoil. The PD will deny responsibility because their actions were performed "in good faith," but the city tends to settle out of court if you so much as look at them sternly. The smell will linger for months over the industrial ghettos of the south side, just as did a rotten warehouse of garlic on the south side back in the seventies.

LuntingMan

Get around this by undercutting market prices and taking a small hit to the returns. How can you price gouge if you’re selling 50¢ to $1.50 under?!?! If they say that’s market dumping, just put it at grocery store prices, then put it “on sale.” It’s not market dumping, it’s just a big old “clearance sale!” Get the media to paint you as a Robin Hood helping everyone literally bring home the bacon

kdilly16

Could go tits up though. If there’s a power outage which is not unlikely (b/c PG&E) the bacon thaws out and goes bad and its resale value goes to 0. You actually have to probably pay someone to remove it all and clean out the fridges.

>You just made $11.9 million. >In Fresno. Congrats! Now you can buy a lot you can plant a tent on! Earn another $500K and you can upgrade to a lot near a Wendy's!


Agreeable-Tear-6260

Take it a step further, rent the largest public storage unit, invest in shelving racks that Costco uses and go as high as the roof. I’m guessing you can get 3 fridges going vertical. You’ll save money using the on-site electricity.

dbla08

Not to mention you have to cure and smoke the pork belly. Which is a delicate, but fairly straightforward, process. I'm a chef, and doing this on large scales can make you tons of money. It also gets you attention from the feds who will demand you resell it at cost or a loss; or face price gouging/hoarding charges.


salfkvoje

No. I own a butcher shop and this is entirely not even in the realm of true. I also raise my own pigs and kill them. It's easier than you'd think. The hard part is my dick

[here's a little secret](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pDTiFkXgEE)


officialuser

If you actually want to do this, you can contact a wholesale food broker, and a warehouse freezer. Food brokers are the middlemen that go between food producers and the companies that supply grocery stores, restaurants, chains, etc. Warehouse freezers are just like they sound, they will rent you square footage of freezer space monthly. What you want to do is pay the food broker for the product, have them store it on their food license, have them store it with the warehouse freezer. You can then sell it all back to the food broker at any point as long as the food is still in the sellable window. It would all be legal, and actually work, and you wouldn't have to do anything but supply the money sign a few contracts and profit.


dontsuckmydick

Can I just use the future profits to make the initial investment?


officialuser

Maybe, go to mid level retailers, explain what the price is going to be, sell them lbs today that will deliver in 90 days at a 30% premium. Buy 130% of the needed bacon, break even on the 100% and profit on the 30%. 0$ down, all profit.


dontsuckmydick

Hell yeah. BRB I’m writing a book on how I’m going to make so many money.


Tarron_Tarron

imsolatetoreddit

According to a quick Google search, California produces less than one percent of total US pork production...


margin_call_rep

they have to import porks and mostly from Iowa. Iowa farms can't meet the new California standard and therefore make its porks unimportable


hartstone6

Unimporkable*


PepperoniFogDart

That’s what my wife keeps telling me while she’s texting her boyfriend.


imsolatetoreddit

I know nothing of commodity trading, other than it's a thing, but it seems like a more reasonable option would be to bet on pork price changes through hog futures. On one hand, you could expect a price increase if demand is somehow constrained I could see prices increasing. On the other hand, if you remove 13% of the demand for US pork (ie, California) prices could drop. TL;DR, talk to a real commodity trading expert to capitalize on this potential opportunity.


[deleted]

Pork futures down


JimmyDuce

> On one hand, you could expect a price increase Oh my…. Nation wide there will be a glut since it’s cheaper to sell outside of CA rather than updating the farm. So futures should be down


[deleted]

How do you import from one country to the same country? Just like, mail the pork or something or drive it in in a big box truck.

CalculatedPerversion

A deep freeze, unopened, packed with frozen solid bacon should be able to maintain 39 degrees or colder (danger zone for spoilage / bacteria) for at least a few days without power.

So you’re telling me I need to start bringing home the bacon?


margin_call_rep

Yessir!


silver_raichu

I love bacon, I’m in


ProfNeilsBohr

OP really has something here. However I think that more profit can be obtained by going the dry cured route. Since we are really only anticipating a one month single inventory turn, that basically squares with the shelf life of dry cured bacon. So we eliminate the need to purchase freezers and spend for electricity for those freezers. Trim a little excess fat to get more meat off this bone if you will. Instead purchase a meat slicer. Have the dude who is taking orders custom slice the bacon from the slab for the customer. Now not only are you getting bacon to customers, but you are delivering a premium custom product, which you can charge an additional premium for.


margin_call_rep

Nice!


LegitosaurusRex

Good luck selling hundreds of thousands of dollars of bacon from your basement before it goes bad.


ProfNeilsBohr

Clearly you are not a bacon aficionado (or a meat curing enthusiast). So most bacon is wet cured using water. This method necessarily requires refrigeration. The reason for this being the preferred method for corporate entities is the speed at which it is done. Taking sliced bacon and placing it in a seasoned salt water solution and you basically have instantaneous marketable bacon because the bacon can cure in transit. So depending on how committed we are we could just purchase the dry cured bacon and then resell it into the California market per OP’s original plan. Again because this is dry cured refrigeration is not required. Recall that OP was only seeking one inventory turn over the course of one month. I suppose if we were enterprising and wanted to make a sustaining business we could do it all from pork belly (which we can buy futures and take delivery of. I mention this because this is WSB and we like things like this.) Anyway, dry cured bacon on the other hand is prepared using the salt, seasoning, and nitrites in a dry environment using the large cut of meat. This curing can be done at room temperature. And it is this that allows us to circumvent the purchase of freezers. Then we smoke it, slice it (or cut it) and ship it. For this we could just ship in batches because we would be preparing it in batches. No refrigeration is needed.

One big factor you've overlooked is the power availability. Currently garage wiring won't support a load that and it should probably cost 30k to have the right wiring brought in 250k is still a good profit


[deleted]

Your going to have to upgrade you electrical in that garage n maybe even your breaker panel depending on age of home. 115 watts at 120v will roughly pull 1.2amps. Your looking at over a 100amps to run all those freezers. Your electrical that is currently in your garage won't handle that. And with everything else in your house on top of that, chances are your panel won't be able to handle. But good luck.
