Plan
I have grown herbs for personal use, on and off, for the past 20 years. I would like to be able to take this hobby and make a sustainable business out of it. I enjoy cooking as a hobby, and there are many herbs, edible flowers and micro-greens that are not available readily from the store. Not everyone has the time or desire to grow herbs from seed or starts. I would like to start with providing products to farmstands, such as Perkins Orchard and move to farmer's markets and eventually to grocery stores, such as the Durham Co-op or Weaver Street Market. Deliverable herb boxes/bundles would also be possible and could be mailed out similarly to flowers.
