HerbNET - Magazine - Letter From the Herbalist
Spring is definitely in the air and that means herb festival time. One of the earliest
this year will be the Pennsylvania Herb Festival and the York County Fairgrounds. Lots of
vendors, great herbal food, interesting speakers including Loryhl Davis from Herbs of the
World, Peter Borchard of Companion Plants (along with an assortment of his unusual
ones), Dr. Peter Gail otherwise known as Doctor Dandelion and more. It's inside where
it's warm, dry and you can shop till you drop. Visit www.paherbfest.com for more details.
I'll be there (and speaking) so stop by my booth and say hi. I'm already getting my list
together to send to Companion Plants so he'll bring the really exotic things along with
him.
We're having an herb business conference this year after an absence of three
years. It's a "limited edition" conference meaning I'm limiting it to 100 attendees. We're
calling it the "Taking Care of (Herb) Business" Conference and the emphasis will be on
giving each attendee the tools to go back and transform their enterprise. Dates are Oct
29 and 30 in Chattanooga, TN. One day of successful herbal entrepreneurs like Sandie
Shores, Jim Long and Marge Clark and one day of intensives where participants will
break into small groups and work on group projects to improve sales. We'll cover things
like web marketing, business plans, pricing, good manufacturing practices and much
more. For more information visit http://www.herbworld.com/conference.htm and sign up
soon. We've already got a number of people signed up and when we reach the 100
person mark, that's it. Questions? call 717-393-3295 or email me at
herbworld@aol.com
That's it for this month. Next month hopefully I'll be digging in the garden.
