Though a novice in farming with no experience beyond touring the vineyards of Napa and France, one thing Herb comes equipped with is determination. Drawing on his surname’s suggestion, Herb Buffet becomes…an herb farmer.
The initial attempts yield to moments of self-doubt, as the seedlings shrivel and die under the weight of his inexperience. Persevering, Herb is ready to give it another shot. This time not alone, but with an experienced hand. He stumbles upon Basil, a dashing young horticulturist who just graduated from a local college.
