Growing Medicinal Herbs for Market

Hello all,

I've been snuggling into winter weather with Rosemary's first lesson and hoping to make an order of books, herbs and supplies soon.  Her personal journey to connect with herbs and share them with others is incredibly inspiring!. Having a two year old in my life, I am in awe that she spent four months on horseback with her two year old in the wilderness.  What a lucky child! 

The owners of Zack Woods Herb Farm are presenting an intensive workshop at the Winter NOFA VT Conference and I thought some of you might be interested in going.  (I am!!)  Its a full day workshop covering everything thing they do,  guided by the materials for their forthcoming book on growing herbs. (Which I am also very excited about!)
