From a High School ‘Pepper’ Project to a Start-up Company?

Kids at Harmony High School in Washington State had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

All they thought they were doing was building a greenhouse at school.

But then they started growing different kinds of peppers and, thanks to a little guidance from their teacher, himself a big pepper enthusiast, they realized they might have a business on their hands.

Too soon to know if Harmony’s pepper students will hit it big. But they hope to sell their peppers in local farmers markets.

See how easy it is to “grow” a green business?
