Market Farming

["Nan Johnson" <nan AT olemiss.edu>]

Check out   herbworld.com   (sorry not to post link, I sometimes cannot get 
it to "work" so google it if necessary)...they have green pages for those 
buying and selling (may have a membership fee, can't recall).

At my university job , we grow and market medicinal plants (such as catnip) 
but our buyer will only work with large amounts (hundreds of pounds in 
barrels, square bales, etc.).  The medicinal plant market varies so wildly 
and unpredictably that it makes it really hard to plan to grow a crop a year 
ahead of time (which is the lead time needed for cover crops, seed ordering 
etc.)

I wonder if direct marketing your product is really the way to go to keep a 
profit!  Let us know!
