Thank you Jeff. Your the 3rd one to discuss local line. It looks like an amazing platform for the farm community. I harvest and store, but seedlings sale may try out the tool. Great idea about selling seeds too. Appreciate the coupon code!
Excellent info!
Jeff what a great product for those growing enough to sell.
What product do you find sells easily? i am thinking of growing 40 dwarf sunflowers in 1 gallon fabric pots, suitable for containers and selling them for $15 each? Also, wondering if there is a market for garlic scapes? I will be using your code, thanks. Feedback is much appreciated.
I love when hobbies turn into a business, I was able to do that in my own life (Not garden related) and it is one of the most fulfilling things you can do. I would LOVE to offset some of the garden costs by doing one or two things mentioned in the video. I guess it depends on how big you want to go, but even selling 10 or 15 tomato plants could buy me all the seed for a season. (I'd probably spend it on dirt though lol)
Actually, before I started watching your videos, I never thought about selling starter plants or plugs, and after you mentioned it in one of your other videos, it really got the gears turning.
That's a cool tool, and some great ideas. I'm hoping to start selling things in the next year or so. I'd like to sell starts, cloned fruit trees/bushes, and some lumber. Now I'm thinking about seeds…
Since I have a greenhouse I helped my two teenaged granddaughters with a successful tomato start business. We bought most of the seeds at Dollar Tree (75-85 seeds per 25 cent package). They learned to plant seeds, pot up seedlings, and explain all the different varieties to customers. They earned over $800 apiece! Then they got tired of selling and I gave away a considerable amount.
Wow thank you for this.
That’s great! I was thinking about selling my sourdough bread on a small scale.
Commercials?
Jeff, please, no commercials. You are truly great without them, but if u include pushing their products you will lose your own profile, it will lose it´s way of being off the materialistic way of life.
Jeff, I remember my dad always had a big garden plot. Growing lots of veggies. After giving away excess harvest to friends and neighbors, nothing left to sell. I’m the same way. Great info for others. Keep it going!
Great video, thanks for the light walk through
Hey captain I need a bit of help do u offer coaching?
