I'm very small scale so I only invested in a few winterberries this year, but I plan to add more every year! I found some on clearance & then i bought the others from Priven Winners. I have one or two that will produce orange berries, one coralberry, that will produce pink berries, & one glamberry, that produces purple berries! My husband & I are the same way though, we are not scared to ask things like that! 😁 I'll usually try to catch someone outside though, & not knock on doors though. I work somewhere part time, that has a bunch ch of evergreens in the back of the building, & I asked if I could dig some up, to plant around my property & she said yes!
I love what you are doing man! Found this channel through your collaboration with The Fit Farmer channel and was glad to hear you have your own channel. Finding tips, tricks and information this practical and useful has proven to be hard. Great vibe and amazing content, please keep it coming! I'll do what I can to nudge the youtube algorithm your way :D
People have done this type of thing for years. It’s not that new. I grew up on a subsistence dirt farm the youngest of 6 kids. In the Pacific Northwest there is an abundance beyond what you can fathom on the east coast of blackberries. Grandpa would drop us off at someone’s field in the morning and come back to check on us around lunch time. We were expected to have all the baby bathtubs, buckets and every other pan that fit in the back of his pickup full or we didn’t get to stop for lunch. That was every day from the end of July until things started drying up at the end of august. The money from that covered the cost of our school clothes and supplies (until we were 10 when we were able to work in the strawberry, raspberry and blueberry fields and were expected to pay for our own. We still had to pick blackberries so there was money to cover other bills) As kids we were resourceful. Us girls would peel and dry cascara bark and some other wild herbs to sell to the pharmacy in town. We would also go foraging for ferns and other greenery along the roads or in the woods to sell to florists when we went to the bigger town near us. The boys mostly boxtrapped wild animals to sell and climb the trees to pick pine ones before they dropped seeds. There wasn’t as much diversity back then on what florists were interested in as there is now, but there is always going to be something that someone wants. The toughest part is identifying what people are going to want. Not so much demand for cascara bark these days (laxative), well, except for Starbucks who decided to use it for a flavoring for one of their drinks a few years back.🤢😄🤣😂
Yes, please, would love to learn more about the course! Love this bush too, now I have to plant one. How long does it take for it to get to a fruitful size?
I could help you make a list of bushes to plant if you interested. We could take an hour and go over it. I could send on instructions of how to do so, if interested.
Very informative but what do you do if you live in the desert no winterberry no creeks ,tumbleweeds and mesquite not a lot to forage. I know you are teaching about plants where you live I wish someone from the southwest would do the same.
Fantastic! I’ve never seen one on the side of the road, but I’ll be looking from now on! Plus I will be plant me at least one! Thanks for your advice! I’ll look for links for some classes from you, hugs and love from Texas!
Linda, I put a link in the description and explains what is involved. They usually tend to be a cooler weather crop. We lives in the mountains and are able to harvest so much on the sides of the road.
Winter berry is awesome. Grows along roadways here; usually near water - wetlands. I use for adding to balsam wreaths. I have no idea on price; guessing $5 a bundle 🤷♀️. Is each branch considered a bunch?

Hell yeah!!! Yes please! I'm ready, and would seriously appreciate any advice and education you could provide! :)
Luv your work ethic 😊you’re a real go getter keep up the good work!!!

I appreciate that! I also like your excitement for our channel !
You always come up with creative ideas
🤣@"everywhere you have a crack at you'll have a berry at". Ticks are like that too!
I know! Luckily, the ticks are not to bad here.
Thanks for sharing...how awesome! God bless
Damn! Brilliant idea and fantastic $$!
SMART!!!
Thank you !
Absolutely fabulous news because I purchased one of them... and they charge $14 for five pieces at Meadow Farms in Fredericksburg Virginia
That’s about the going rate for it! We cut about 100 bunches last week of the season
Guessing 30 ish bunches, let's see

That’s some work ! We just have to find what the people want! It’s all about the market. It seems like that’s what you used to do.
Great job. I've not seen one in my area. I would love to have one. I have a spring at the bottom of our property and lots of sun.
Thank you.
Make sure you are in a cooler area. They tend to like growth in colder climates
@@WindyBrookRidgeHomestead I'm in Gamewell NC. Should be fine...I hope.
Good job
Before I know how many bunches, or how much you may earn, I want to say, I will remember Winter Berry.
It’s a pretty bush !
Yes, please, would love to learn more about the course!
Love this bush too, now I have to plant one. How long does it take for it to get to a fruitful size?
I left a link of the course in the description
I love this. How do you know where to cut? And how much to cut from the bush so it produces well the next year?
The bush produces every other year. There are certain spots you prune on bushes. It’s really based on judgement and experience.
What bushes can I plant on my property (I have no wetlands) to harvest for sale. NH zone 5a?
I could help you make a list of bushes to plant if you interested. We could take an hour and go over it. I could send on instructions of how to do so, if interested.
@@WindyBrookRidgeHomestead That would be great Thanks
nice berries good luck hugsssss
Thank you tammy! Hope your doing well.
Very informative but what do you do if you live in the desert no winterberry no creeks ,tumbleweeds and mesquite not a lot to forage. I know you are teaching about plants where you live I wish someone from the southwest would do the same.
I told my wife we should travel the country foraging on the sides of the road in the summer. We need to do some research for what you have there.
Fantastic! I’ve never seen one on the side of the road, but I’ll be looking from now on! Plus I will be plant me at least one! Thanks for your advice! I’ll look for links for some classes from you, hugs and love from Texas!

@@WindyBrookRidgeHomestead I have traveled my area zone 5a and I could not find any…I was disappointed
Our local southern states store was selling those for $12 PER STEM! Not even a bunch!
That’s unreal ! I need it to get hooked in with them!
22 bunches at $6
Winter berry is awesome. Grows along roadways here; usually near water - wetlands. I use for adding to balsam wreaths. I have no idea on price; guessing $5 a bundle 🤷♀️. Is each branch considered a bunch?
5 stems are considered a bunch
$20 a bunch?
$125/ bunch?
I'm guessing $15 for a bunch of 5.
Oh nice! I was about halfway thru the video when I guessed.
35 bunches $5.00
