Chinese Medicinal Herb Production In New York State
March 15th 6-8pm- Room 120 of the Human Services Complex in Montour Falls, NY 14865. Please join Jean Giblette of High Falls Gardens www.highfallsgardens.net. Some crops take on value to buyers as a group, not singly ─ particularly Chinese medicinal herbs. The movement toward producing these herbs in the U.S. has slowly gained ground over the past two decades. An effective production and marketing model involves close cooperation between licensed herbal practitioners and farmers. Using a blend of current concepts, cooperatives, food hubs, CSA – the model is being developed here in NY, thanks to funding from the New York Farm Viability Institute.
