Would like to see video on finding buyers. The growing is one thing, but finding the people to sell to us the scary part.

Lavender is a hardy perennial, meaning it comes back every year without replanting. It is incredibly versatile because you can sell the fresh flowers, dried bouquets, or processed essential oils and soaps.

I think the hardest part would be just trying to secure enough buyers.

This was a great video, Jill! A very inspiring way to try and get people to change their thoughts on the space they have! <br>I would love to see a video on some of the behind the scenes of selling the crops. Where you go to make and build connections, how you package and transport, any legalities/licenses/paperwork that comes along with making these kinds of sales.

Wish I had pictures or video of how I grew vegetables directly in the land creating beds out of just making walkways in between them. I dug up pathways of 2 feet like a walk around the vegetables that created the bed because I would dump all that soil on top of the area where I wasn't gonna walk in outside the soil and threw it onto one side I had created rows of vegetables and flowers and I did that before my back at work because I have severe back issues so I want the soil tire and I want to be able to walk around them with ease without realizing I was making bed that was in New York. I grew a Romain letter that my neighbor double are begging I found this beautiful, huge worms and the chickens I had 75 of them they were so good they knew I was digging and they would run to the fence to catch that worm. I flipped as I worked. It was so much fun and I also had rabbits it was fun to see how everything grew so nicely and the Romain lettuce. I'm not kidding. It was huge huge everything was organic. The land was organic no chemicals. It was it used to be a farm in the old day, but the owner started selling the farm in pieces for his children. build a house for each kit, but the kids were terrible. They didn't care. His old people were terrible anyway one of them I think was a commissioner anyway so yes if you don't have money to buy blocks or build beds with wood or anything, do it the old-fashioned way just throw the dirt to one side creating a bed high enough for you not to have to be so much especially when you're elderly like me

I am so appreciative of this video! I have been trying to figure out a career change for a long time now, and I’m finally coming around to entertaining this idea. I’ve never wanted to monocrop because, obviously I like to grow all the things for my family. But I have often wondered what it would be like if I could grow for a living. I am seriously considering this now. Thank you so much!

Great video! My main crop is corn and I trade for favors. I live in a mobile home park with over 300 homes, and I’m the ONLY one that grows corn. Business is good

I really loved the way you break it down and go over the financials by space and crop. One thing that would be awesome to learn more about is what succession planting process is behind the scenes and how you change in the new plants with those already planted for continuous harvest. A lot of ppl discuss it but few show the whole process and the thinking/planning that goes into it. Feel like a lot could benefit from that video of small scale intensive ag spaces!
