The Potential of Herbs as a Cash Crop

[jessayork]

Greetings all, I have been in the herbal business for 14 years and before that in the dairy biz for 22 years. My passion is the herbal industry and organic farming. We recently attended the Organic Conference in Ont. Wow! Lots of info. We would like to bring a International Herb Broker to Alberta to do a workshop on growing herbs and other crops. The herb industry is changing very rapidly and a growers biggest challenge is knowing the markets. This is very important if your intention is to have a crop that you can sell. I have lots of herbal links to go to that are full of info. Feel free to call me at 403-246-5929 and I will be glad to help you out.

People in Alberta are very interested in the herb industry. In fact, a group called the Alberta New Crop Network Society has been formed to be an umbrella organization for all special crops-including herbs. One of their main focuses is on marketing.
