Sales and Profit Insights
You can sell herbs at local farmer’s markets for a small fee. Additionally, herbalists in high demand areas earn more money. Start a mini herb farm for under $2,000 without purchasing land by using mini-greenhouses and raised beds.
Pricing and Quality Tips
Compare herb prices. Supermarket garlic sells for $2 per pound, organic garlic sells for $4 to $5 per pound. Direct-market garlic sells for over $1 per bulb, producing $10 per square foot.
Tips on Herb Usage and Safety
Ease into using herbs by learning recipes. I grow quality herbs on my farm. Know your herb sources, as safety regulations are sparse. DNA tests show some herbal supplements sold in major retailers are fake, with undisclosed ingredients.
