SARE Research

Scaling Up Organic Botanical Production in the Upper Midwest

In 2021, I received a $15,000 grant from SARE to conduct research on scaling botanical production.

For my project, I tested ways to increase harvest yields and reduce dry time for various botanicals. For the project, I:

  • tested the mini Terrateck Babyleaf Harvester on various botanicals

  • made improvements to a forced-air dryer, expanding upon a SARE grant previously obtained by Sharing Our Roots

  • collected fresh yield and dry down data

  • tested the eTOH Pro to turn farm waste into absolute extracts
