When I posted 13 answers to what constitutes a home business, Mary Emma Allen, my co-blogger here at Home Biz Notes, reminded me about farming as a home business.

It made me think about those who have green fingers but don’t have the space, finances or motivation for full scale farming.
If you have green fingers and some space, but don’t have a huge acreage, a herb farming business may be the answer for you.
Small Scale Herb Farming
I know people who run successful small scale herb farming businesses from one or two greeenhouses, supplemented by some container plantings. Some suppliers cater for restaurants and local produce or gourmet stores, and concentrate on seasonal herbs or herbs for gourmet cooking.
Herbal Products – Value Adding
You can value add by offering herbal products as well, or you could specialize in herbal products rather than selling the herbs themselves.

What fun! I think that this is one of those instances in which a hobby can turn profitable. (Although, I’m sure that there are some large-scale herb farms around as well.)
Hi Laura
I know a few people who’ve had home based herb gardens which have been profitable, so it can be done.
I wonder what other businesses people have transformed from a hobby to a business.
