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

[Jeanine Davis]

Yes, I could have worded that a little better, couldn't I? The workshop we
did in December with the three buyers was a huge success. Growers and
buyers learned so much. I wasn't able to find another buyer on such short
notice to pair with Brian, so we added other speakers to the program so it
wasn't just a Mountain Rose event. I will try to be more careful in the
future (but if we get more big buyers willing to talk publicly with growers
it wouldn't be a bad thing). Hope you are well. It has been ages since our
paths have crossed!  Jeanine
