Grow a Row
GROW A ROW for the HERBALISTA FREE CLINIC!
Together with the Funny Farm of Stone Mountain, we are excited to share the launch of our new project — Grow a Row!
Our Goal – To supply the Herbalista Free Clinic with locally and sustainably grown herbs by enlisting and supporting our local farmers in our Grow a Row Project. We hope that this will not only bring more herbal medicine to the people of our community, but will help develop a market for locally grown medicinal herbs!
OBJECTIVES

•Develop a market for locally grown medicinal herbs
•Collect data on production rates for herb production
•Study the potential for herb growing as a profit center for local farmers
•Promote bioregional herb production

•Advice on production techniques for herbs we have experience with at The Funny Farm
•On-going support throughout the growing season
