#6 - Goji berry farmer

Here's an idea I just had - large commercial Goji berry farms are almost non-existant in North America. From what I've been reading these berries grow well in most conditions throughout North America and the amount of money that can come from each acre of these is astounding!

Idea #5 - Selling seeds

I've been browsing Ebay recently looking for vegetable seeds. I'm trying to build a supply for the spring time so I can get started as soon as the weather warms up. One thing that has been obvious after searching for fruit and vegetable seeds is that this seems like a great thing to be selling!
If you have some land at home where you can grow some of your own products you can get started. From most foods, seeds can be easily saved before you go eating it, and packaged and re-sold. Save a couple to grow another plant for next year too.
This just seems like a business where the product multiplies, and as you multiply the product, the money does too.
I even saw people online selling seeds for things such as dandilions and daisy's - I can gather these seeds almost anywhere where I live and I bet you could too. People are making money from these and I bet you could too.

Caution: Don't try selling the seeds from grocery store produce, as most are hybrids and wont grow true to seed. Check first online to be sure there is no chance of you having a hyrbrid.

Idea #4

Cookbook based on LOCAL, WILD FOODS. By that I mean food you could literally find during a nature walk in your area. Ingredients would be items such as local wild berries and herbs in the local forests - almost the kind of items you might find in a wilderness survival book - but incorporated into some rather nice recipes. This may sell well at local farmers markets or some small local shops.
