Comfrey Investment Fund
I write this all a bit tongue-in-cheek... but imagine for a moment with me...
The Investment Opportunity
The Comfrey Investment Fund is an area in your backyard where you've planted comfrey... a plant with many uses, from a chicken feed to one of the ingredients of a healing salve. These plants sit here, growing and waiting for when they are needed.
Unlike traditional investments, this investment is sitting right in your back yard, ready to be harvested and sold when you need it.
Key Investment Highlights
- Long-term asset: Once established, comfrey plants can produce for 20+ years with minimal replanting
- Multiple revenue streams: From plant propagation, dried leaves, and value-added products
- Sustainable agriculture: Comfrey farming requires minimal inputs and supports soil health
- Growing market: Increasing demand for natural products and sustainable agriculture
Revenue Generation Strategy
Plant Propagation (30-40% of Revenue)
The fund's primary revenue source comes from propagating and selling comfrey plants, including:
- Comfrey crowns and root cuttings
- Potted plants and plugs
- Wholesale supply to nurseries and garden centers
This revenue stream begins within the first year and grows as production scales.
Dried Comfrey Products (25-35% of Revenue)
Processing comfrey leaves into dried products creates a secondary revenue stream:
- Bulk dried leaves for herbalists and manufacturers
- Retail packaged dried comfrey
- Specialized comfrey tea blends
This revenue stream typically begins in year two as leaf production increases.
Value-Added Products (20-30% of Revenue)
Creating finished products increases margins and brand value:
- Comfrey salves and balms
- Comfrey-infused oils
- Specialty comfrey products
This revenue stream typically begins in years 2-3 as production capacity and market presence grow.
Education & Agritourism (5-10% of Revenue)
Leveraging the farm operation for additional revenue:
- Workshops and training programs
- Farm tours and experiences
- Consulting services
This diversifies income while building brand awareness and customer loyalty.
