Need

to supply ourselves and the greater community with a local source for medicinal herbs

Description

Local herbalists and naturopaths whom we've polled obtain their herbal supplies from far away, mostly China. This is a "price elastic" market, and they would gladly pay more for quality material that was produced locally.

This profit centre is for the propagation, cultivation, harvest, processing, marketing, and sales of medicinal herbs.
