Start A Herb Farm

Herb farm is dedicated to farming herbs for commercial purposes. Since herbs are not commercialized to a large extent, herbal farming can be profitable.

Herbs are used in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetology, and food production.

Consuming herbs may prevent and help manage heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Besides, some herbs reduce blood clots and provide anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a herb farm:

1. Everlasting Herb Farm ($73.2K/year)

She started Everlasting Herb Farm as a side hustle, experimenting with formulations and products. After receiving positive feedback and a lucrative opportunity from a Vermont retailer, the business began to grow, eventually leading to the construction of a dedicated workspace in Wendy's backyard.
