We grow naturally here in TN and a host of uncommon bugs thrive throughout our farm. If we could sell bugs, we could corner the market.

We sell at a local Farmer's Market and I once sold flowers because of the bugs on it.

It was a moth that had markings and colors of a bumble bee. In fact I thought it was a bumble bee at first glance. But a customer noticed it hovering around my flowers and said though it was not endangered, it was rare. So, she bought a couple of my naturally grown wild flower boquets.

Who can say they sold produce because of the bugs on it?
