I believe thst areas like South Tacoma that have lots of big yards and people who like to garden, we have the ability to grow food in our communities for our communiities.
I don’t think that any house can be self sufficient. But we can greatly reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing the distance betwen field and table.
I want to start a Tacoma/Pierce County based herb growing retail seller that buys from and sells within neighborhoods and connects businesses with local growers within their neighborhoods.
We could sell to groceries, coops, health food stores, restaurants, food trucks and donate to free food drives.
I currently grow enough apples to sell seasonally to one small restaurant. In 2018 when I first moved to Tacoma, my exwife and I supplied cherries and apples to Tibbets restaurant in the zFern Hill neighborhood of Tacoma.
I currently believe I also grow enough bergamot, catnip, lemon balm, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme to provide year round herbs for one small restaurant.
If you would like to buy my herbs
