The Heirloom Hustle
For high-end market gardeners, selling standard red slicing tomatoes yields low margins. The big money is made selling obscure, highly aesthetic heirloom varieties (like the Brad's Atomic Grape or the Thorburn's Terra-Cotta) to local chefs. These seeds are produced in tiny batches by boutique breeders.
Catching the Winter Release
Small seed companies release their limited catalogs in January, and the best varieties sell out in hours.
- Cultivar Specificity: Track specific, highly desired varieties that fetch a premium at the market.
- Seed Bank Scraping: Get alerted the absolute second the catalog is updated on the boutique breeder's Shopify site.
