Hey folks, i searched the forum and there doesn't seem to be anyone 'growing' anything for money. I have been researching the smart farming categories and can't help but think of all the land i have available where i live that should be producing money.
Just today visting a local grocery store i stopped at the super greens/sprouts sections and was blown away by some of the prices:
Chines - plastic box container, 10g = $4.09
Basil - plastic box container, 10g = $4.09
Italian parsley, 10g, $4.09
These prices are probably high as if you shopped around you could get a way better deal but i wa non the less a bit shocked realising i gould grow pounds of this and after researching on how to actually grow them it seemed quite enoyable (i've been growing cactusus and a small selectionof house plnats for a few years now for profit)
I can see selling to local restaurants, green smoothie stands around the city as well as taking online orders.
I have the perfect family member to hire to look after the operation releaving myself of quite alot of time and focusing on distribution and customer acquisition.
I am currently working on another business and i don't want to get overwhlemend by doing two projects at onces but it just makes sence to utilise the land i have which the annual council rates aren't going to change if i produce off the land so i makes sence tome. I have no idea about the horticultural industry apart from knowing how to clone some exotic house plants and put them into pretty containers for resell after a few months, so would love to hear from anyone that knows about this space. And i'll be sharing my experience along the way, my next step is to aquire growing trays and the seeds of the selected super greens i'm going to grow.
