Yes flowers are a part of our overall business plan. What citrus have you added to your list? And, how cold hardy? Our plans for citrus (even hardier ones) was to be behind glass...I would be very interested in any that could be put out in the forest in zones 7-8 and be able to flourish! We are keeping our quality nut trees that are already in our forests; however, for our sun catch-u our time frame is too short to include most in the mix. We will be selling cut flowers from our various other areas of the property; as well as, there may be a large section in the center of the sun catch-u. We have flowers growing currently based on pollination, soil benefits and edible. Do you know which flowers would be most profitable?

A florist friend of mine buys a BIG % of his flowers from a local lady that raises about an acre of flowers for wholesale.
have you sugared any? I've been kicking around sugaring blooms and selling those, but haven't gotten around to that.

Thank you for such a great list! I will do some research to see if any can drop to zone 7b. I do agree, if they could be grown locally, there would be multiple options for selling the fruit; as well as other items made from them.

If the people in your area like grilling you could consider selling wood smoking chips. They fetch a nice price for something that is in essence just finely shredded wood that you can't use for anything else and the shelf life is near infinite.Marianne Cooper wrote:
For our area, very rural, mostly salves and creams sell.
Jamie - also being in very rural east coast, I understand the challenges of breaking ground with "new" products. I sell quite a bit of "RUBS" packaged in Shenandoah Valley for grilling, bread dipping, fish etc. Maybe packaging them together would work for you, since it sounds like you have an incredible array. around here, people are all about grilling and spicing it up is a very welcome item. The only fresh herb we are able to market are basil and rosemary (we package a bundle of them as - you got it grilling skewers)
thanks for you info!!

He threatened to stop last year as he's now in his 90s and says he thinks he may be getting a bit old to make the molasses.
