So far, so good

But, regarding the fish and plants grown by the "accidental farmer" (yesterday's post) is there actually a market place demand to reward all this work and problem-solving?  Hebert says there is.

Case in point is local chef Lenny Russo of the Heartland Restaurant and Farm Direct Market in St. Paul.  About the fish, he says, "They're pristine, beautiful.  The quality is outstanding.  I'd have them on the menu all the time if I could."

So Hebert and his partner have a good product and market place demand for it, but they're still working on some challenges:  "We never wanted to get ahead of ourselves and grow a million fish before the whole puzzle is figured out . . that's how people go bust."

So far, so good.
