Flourish the Perfect Crop and Your Business 

In order to profit off of farming, you need to know which valuable crops to grow and sell.

Microgreens, such as cabbage, beets, and radishes, are exemplary crops to grow in South Texas. These crops don’t require a lot of land and can be very profitable. Plus, they grow fast if you’re looking to secure some quick revenue.  

Of course, microgreens aren’t the only crop you can grow in South Texas. There are plenty of options available to you, depending on your level of experience with farming. However, if you’re a beginner, then you’ll want to educate yourself on the types of crops that grow best in the Rio Grande Valley. The more you know, the easier the process will be. 

You can also check out our guide on what crops are best for beginners. Thankfully, Harlingen’s favorable weather and rich soil gives you plenty of options to choose from.  

When deciding on which crops to grow, you’ll also want to think like a business owner and consider which are in high demand. With help from the community and research beforehand, you can learn what crops are most popular and desirable. 

Build Loyal Clientele Who Will Buy Your Produce 

Building your clientele may take some effort but it will be worth it once you have your steady stream of customers. Growing your customer base might take a little footwork but it can definitely be done.  

We suggest you become a well-known member of your local farming community and reach out to local restaurants, grocery stores, and other business owners with who you think you can develop a reciprocal business relationship. 

You should also attend as many local events and farmers’ markets as you can. Build rapport with people who you frequently see at these events to start the process of building a clientele. Remember to always be welcoming, friendly, and to provide excellent customer service. 

Customers are the answer to having a successful business. Without them, your farm won’t be profitable.
