Verbum Farm

Planting cotton - yes cotton - this week in Adrian Township, Michigan.

Why? Well, a large portion of my farm revenue is actually seed on eBay and Etsy, and it does well! That is the aim here.

While to***co continues to be my best seller by far as a niche exotic (and organically grown, for that matter), experiments like this cotton often pan out to new product lines in the seed department. We shall see...

"You can't grow that here!" Cute. I hear it all the time and laugh for a lotta different exotics - to***co, sugar cane, lemon tree seedlings, etc. After a quick show around of the field (or pictures in the off season), I usually get people to see that great things like these ARE possible with good old hard work and attention to detail!

The flowering and mature pics are from other years where, yes, I was able to get cotton bolls with actual cotton in them, just not enough to sell. Onto the larger quantities, now.

And see? It's not too hard after all 😄
