The florist I used to work for used moss in some of their flower arrangements. I would try to sell it on Ebay.

Picking moss to support 2 kids and 1 adult is a hard way to make a living. The interest in growing moss or having moss as bedding in terrariums or as elements in dry flower arrangements is not a stable source of income.
I would consider re-education in a trade that you find interest in as even by selling moss on ebay, your income is not likely to be sufficient to support your family.
Good luck.

Asides from Ebay you might have to go into landscaping or find a landscaper who uses it. There are people who want to have moss on their property but it might be tricky to transplant. You'd probably know how I guess.

trista

interesting your efforts to pick moss and be able to make a modest living with it
I have the greatest admiration for people who think outside of "normal" for a way of making a living.

I just found you today as I am trying to find moss for sale Is not easy
Wondered how you are doing and are you selling moss or could give me suggestions as to how to obtain some

I would think picking moss and selling it would be illegal, certainly if you obtain it anywhere that is not your own property. I do respect your determination to support you and your family, but I'm also concerned that we preserve what natural habitat we have left.

There are ways to pick moss sustainably. Not sure about the laws on other peoples property. You shouldn't take a bulldozer and remove an entire patch of moss. That happened where I lived because of these foresters cutting down trees. It never grew back.

is shipping wild moss across state lines a good idea? i know states do not want fire wood moved because of invasive bugs.

I too am also looking for a wholesale buyer who buys larger amounts of moss on a continuous basis. I also can supply ferns, driftwood and pine cones. If you know of anyone Id Love to hear from you. Thanks!

To anyone interested in buying moss and lichen please reply . Also collect creek/river rocks driftwood and petrified wood . Along with shelf mushrooms and artist conKs . If it's in the woods or near a stream I can get it ! dotsonjennofer79@gmail.com

I have as much sheet moss and mood moss as you want and need to sell got two teenage boys and we need the money can supply around 2000 pounds a month.

Is there still buyers of log moss

I also harvest and sell moss,rocks,root,slippery elm bark anything you need i will get. i already have a bunch of dried moss on hand email me at scargapscrapmetals@gmail.com

I have all kinds of moss ready to ship

Where are you located? Contact me: verras.gray@yahoo.com

We need a lot of moss. We can not keep up with demand so if you have moss, you can sell it to us. We are looking for moss pickers. Send me an email: info@mossandstonegardens.com.

That seems sort of odd for a company that advertises organically and sustainably grown, Appalachian region harvested moss on their site... but is looking for people to sell them moss because they need a lot. There are questions.

Yes, that is correct. Our sales tripled, so we can not keep up with ourselves.

So you are accepting moss outside of what you are advertising on your site. But still selling it like the moss you do advertise on your site?

I got a truck loaf of pincushion and lots of sheet Moss along with mood moss I'm looking to sell anybody interested

If got a truckload of mood and truck load of pin cushion moss along with sheet Moss if anyone is interested been picking a while and collecting now it's time for a payday
