The growth of herbs is one of the fastest growing markets out there. Herbs are used to flavor our foods for health, for beauty products and for fragrance. Marketing fresh herbs is easy and a fun way to start a business or to make some extra money for you and your family.
Instructions
1. Decide where you want to market your fresh herbs. You can sell them to restaurants, garden stores, home improvement stores, beauty stores and even specialty gift shops as unique gifts.
2. Learn about grow your fresh market herbs successfully. You may want to start with one or two types that grow well in your climate so you can learn the most before investing time and effort into something you're still learning about. There are also books, classes and other herbal farmers that can help you learn grow your herbs.
3. Consider growing your herbs organically. While this may cost a little more in the beginning, you will have higher-quality herbs and be able to charge a little more than your competitors are. Organic farming is extremely popular now.
4. Hire a webmaster to create a website. Thanks to the Internet, you no longer need a storefront to market your fresh herbs. You will need a good, professional-looking website that clearly states all the information buyers would need to know.
5. Think about joining national and state herbal associations. These associations will allow you to network with other herbal farmers and learn all that you can so you can successfully market your herbs.
