RE: Income Ideas For Our Future Permaculture Homestead
This is great @mle777! Nice going building a business and sticking to your gut about the product you want to sell. I wonder how did you find and approach the herbal medicine businesses?
I have another idea of growing weeds and selling them as medicine and food.
Well, there are a lot of "weeds" that are both food and medicine. I guess by categorizing something as a weed that would infer that it took little maintenance to grow, lol.
It was not my business that I was working for, I was just managing a section of the company. I could write a book on what I see wrong with herbal medicine being brought into mainstream commerce. As a more traditional herbalist it really does trouble me. I'm old school....I think one should have a connection and knowledge of the plant. One of the main reasons I left the company. But there are some pretty good gigs out there working with smaller companies that would want to source" weeds" or herbs from smaller farms.
