Karen had raised livestock and produce for the last decade. To diversify her income, Karen is working at establishing herb and flower gardens to harvest for retail sales. This grant allowed Karen to make raised beds and amend the soil in order to propagate and harvest.

Expected income over the next two years is around $3,900.

Because of this grant "I will expand my income year round because when most crops are done for the year I still have open market on dried herbs…"
