Looking for some acreage with access to water for a small herbal medicine operation

I have 6 years of agricultural production experience ranging from high intensity diverse fruit and veg, to small 2 acre market style gardens, as well as cut flower production. I am currently enrolled in the herbal fundamentals program at the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism in Lafayette, and my goal is to one day supply our local apothecaries with locally grown herbs of commerce (such as mints, yarrow, etc., NOT hemp). 

Business Plan

I do not have one

  • Organic Practice

Additional Details

The operation I envision will be a combination of perennial herbs and herbs that will be harvested for their roots on a 2-3 yr basis. There will be tillage involved to remove the root herbs, but the tillage will be minimal since it is only occurring every couple of years. I will not spray anything as the intention for these crops will be for medicine making.
