This month's Featured Businesses...
Get your business listed in our Herbal Green Pages and find out more about this exceptional resource tool.
August 27, 2008

Vol 10 - Issue 1


         We're working hard to get the Herbal Green Pages up.  It's exciting.  But time consuming.  This industry's constantly changing so if you've sent stuff in, we don't mind being nudged  a bit.  I'd say it'll be ready in a few more days.     We'll get back to more articles then too. 

Have some ideas you'd like to share?  Visit our blog at www.herbnet.com/blog  and start a dialogue.  Might be a way to make a new friend.

         Our online publication, the Bu$iness of Herbs has been a real success.  This is one of the benefits of membership in our network.   If you'd like to sample us, we're allowing everyone to have access to 4 free issues.  We're hoping you'll find enough material to make an impact on your business and want to join us.  Just drop me an email and we'll send you links to four of our recent issues.  Click here.

        We also have a listserve for herb business folk at well.  It's usually limited to association members but for a limited time, we're opening it to others to help increase the networking experience for all.  So give it a shot....join us by.

  Who we are.....
The Herb Growing & Marketing Network is the largest trade association specifically for the herb industry with around 900 members in existence since 1990.  We are an information service for our members offering material on anything related to being in an herb business (except for those pesky statistics....there are no good ones so don't ask).   But that's just the beginning......click here for our online secure order form.

Featured Businesses of the Month
In order to highlight some of the unique businesses that are members of our Network, we're now focusing each month on 5 unique ones.  Click here to see what sites are hot!!   This month we're showing:  Walking Clover Farm, Well-Sweep Herb Farm, Wild Weeds, Willow Way and WiseWoman Healing Ways.  For all our member businesses......check out The Herbal Green Pages Online :-)

Have you used our Herbal Exchange?  You may find just the product you're looking for.  

Interested in talking to other herb businesses?  You can interact on our member Herb Business list once you join....if you're already a member and want to sign up, drop me a note and I'll add you......this is an owner approved list so non-members will not be approved....please use the email address you gave when you signed up for membership.

Not ready to join but still want to know what's happening?  If you would like to be added to our mailing list so you can hear about future updates , simply click on this button and put subscribe in your subject line along with your business name (or name if you don't have a business yet). (This does NOT make you a member of The Herb Growing and Marketing Network)

Herbal Green Pages Online
This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding our 430+ pages resource guide.  Here we only list selected member businesses along with links to their sites.  It's a sample and the complete guide can be ordered in hard copy or CD.  Non-members can be listed for a $25/yr annual fee. 

Crop Shop
The Crop Shop is a place where member businesses can list their available herbal products and what they're in need of.  Non-members can search and answer directly but not post to the site.  We're down at the moment but should be back soon.  The Herbal Green Pages comes first.

Hosted Sites
HerbWorld is fortunate in hosting several member businesses. They offer a range of herbal products, services and publications. Want to be hosted?  Click here for details and benefits.

Herb Speakers' Bureau
Are you looking for a speaker on any aspect of herbs?  Or are you a speaker looking to promote yourself.  Here's your opportunity to be seen.  Network members get a free basic listing and full page listings with pictures are available for a small annual listing fee. 

Botanical Dictionary
This dictionary contains hundreds of plants with their scientific name, common names and as many different language variations as possible.  We're always looking for more so don't hesitate to make suggestions. (Slowly being added too)

Want to start an herb business?
We have a starter package of material to get you on the right track (or scare you away depending on your optimist level)  Proceedings from the Beginners' Day program at our last four conferences along with other helpful information. Available in Adobe Acrobat for $10 (get Acrobat Reader for free at Adobe and it can't be a hotmail account) or hard copy for $20.  I personally recommend the hard copy as easier to use.

The Weather Page
The weather page allows you to check national and local weather forecasts.

Herbal Exchange
Herbal classifieds covering everything you could want...plants and seeds, dried material, businesses for sale, help wanted, body care products, new medicinals...you name it, we've got it.  These classifieds are free to members of the network and a nominal cost to nonmembers.

Care to chat?
We have a continual discussion group going on herbal items.....mostly medicinal right now but if enough people are interested we'll establish them for separate categories...cooking, gardening, etc..

Herb Trade
This is a new area we're just beginning to work on that will be a shopping area for both wholesale and retail products.  If you'd like to display your products here drop us a line.  Prices are reasonable

Comments & Suggestions Click here to give us feedback on the site.....suggestions that would be helpful to you, problems with navigation, things like that. Please don't ask health related questions here....they should go on the bulletin board.
