[MPWG] Do you want to sell medicinal herbs to Mountain Rose Herbs?

[Jeanine Davis]

Mountain Rose Herbs (https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/ ), a much-loved and
respected medicinal herb supply company (I have six big bags of their herbs
sitting in my office right now!) wants to buy medicinal herbs grown and
sustainably wild-harvested from our Southeast region with a particular
interest in our native botanicals. Brian Russell, the buyer, will be
attending the Organic Growers School (http://organicgrowersschool.org ) on
March 8 and 9 in Asheville, so we have taken the opportunity to put together
an afternoon workshop on Friday, March 7th so interested growers and
wild-harvesters can meet Brian, learn what he would like to buy from this
area, and what you need to do to sell to him. It will give him a chance to
learn what we have to offer. There will also be presentations by Joe-Ann
McCoy from the N.C. Arboretum on how to make a voucher, by Sarah Schober on
what the Bionetwork Natural Products Laboratory has to offer you, and by
Jennifer Flynn on the Blue Ridge Naturally Brand (something Mountain Rose is
very interested in). I might say a few words, too.

Space is limited, so register now on EventBrite at:

with-the-buyer-from-mountain-rose-herbs-tickets-10631048753. The event will
be held at the Haynes Conference Center on the AB-Tech Enka Campus near
Asheville (an address and map will be posted soon).
