	They are all very easy to grow (almost as easy as weeds), so my suggestion is to grow what you feel you’re going to use the most, because you will get a lot. Some of the most versatile are: Basil Oragano Mint (I prefer spearmint) Thyme But, get a good herb book and see what else is available. Once you’ve tried fresh herbs you’ll find it hard to go back. Enjoy!

	Rosemary, Flat leaf Parsley, Basil, Thyme, Dill, Lavender, CHERVIL (it is hard to get in good quality and its ALWAYS expensive!!), Sage, Oregano, Marjoram, Chives and Scallions Micro greens, micro ANYTHING for that matter, we’ll use it!! Hope this list helps and good luck.

Any fresh herbs are good! Mostly I use parsley, thyme, basil, cilantro, chives on a daily basis. Others that I use but not as frequently are rosemary, sage, chervil. It depends on what kind of cuisine is being cooked. Make a list of the restaurant you want to distribute to and go there or call them and ask them what they would use.
When I was purchasing I always spoke the the vendors that came to me with fresh herbs. Quality and price were a factor as to who I purchased my herbs from.
