Growing, Drying and Selling Medicinal Herbs with Jeff of Zack Woods Herb Farm: EP36


Today’s episode comes to you from Hyde Park, Vermont where we visit with Jeff Carpenter from Zack Woods Herb Farm. They grow medicinal herbs and have been doing so for 26 years. We start off with a look into his high tunnel where they grow their starts, discuss the construction of their batch dryer, check out a field of perennial herbs and take a look inside their packing shed. We then sit down on the back deck and chat about how and why they’ve built this business to meet their needs. He shares the lessons they’ve learned by scaling up too much, and how investing in labor savings tools has paid off.
