I don’t think this would work well because of the relatively small harvesting window for flowers. Assuming that it’s an outdoor farm, you’d also have to contend with frost and other factors that could destroy the harvest. I think it would be nice to have a farm that people could visit though and learn about the process. Another idea that I’ve considered before would be to rent a small plot of land on a larger farm, and pay a fee to have someone else grow and harvest the plant for you. Finally, I think there’s a market for a harvesting service, where people bring in whole plants, unharvested, an the company fully processes the plant (trims and cures the flower, makes bubble hash or shatter from the leaves, etc.)
- petre 4y agoSounds pretty much like wine grapes. Have you ever made wine? It's rewarding but it involves many hours of hard work: picking up the grapes at thd right time, carrying countles trays, sorting, crushing, pressing, fermenting, filtering. And that's just the harvesting and processing part. Most people just like to drink the wine, thank you. That's why it's such a value added agricultual product.
- moaf 4y agoI was thinking the same thing about cannabis being more analogous to wine. Processing cannabis is less complicated than making wine, but it still requires precision and time. It seems like it would be better to follow the model of winery tours and tastings, and just apply that to cannabis farms.
