So me and my friend are both 17, we decided to start a business and sell sunflower seeds. We have the land to grow them and everything we need. And we read a lot about it and we know how to do it.
So my question is more about how to get in the market.
We're in a small town but everyone, young and old, eats sunflower seeds. We intend to make them really tasty by marinating them for longer. This would be our edge over competition, plus it's local. So any tips overall to how can we get it to the people of our town? Should we make it "legal" and get it in the supermarkets and convenience store? (We're in Canada) I don't think we'll have a big enough production this year (200-250 plants, producing about a bag each, selling them a dollar or 2 more than bigger competitors)
Tell me anything and everything that comes to your mind reading this!
Thanks!
