Pleasance Herbs also has a service for farmers intending to grow crops of vegetables and medicinal herbs on a large scale.

We have financial information to download from this site or purchased on usb stick through the mail. 
There are two sets of information available:
1. Large scale herb farming 
2. Small scale herb farming.

Over the years of operating a small scale herb farm, and then a larger farm we have come up with financial information to help those farmers finding difficulty in locating detailed information to set up these types of businesses.

My experience involving herb farming goes back to 1972 when my father Mr Phil Pleasance and his brother Guy, operated Martin & Pleasance  Wholesale Chemists in Melbourne from the early 40's to 1989. A very successful business in Homeopathics and the vitamin label "Golden Life" which is still on the shelves today. My father was importing medicinal herb from England and the States,  also some countries in Europe, when I thought we should be able to grow medicinal herbs in the harsh Australian climate quite easily. This we started in Casino with a Hereford stud. It soon became evident that some of the herbs ( the more expensive ones) could grow quite easily here on the north coast of NSW.
