Operating a Small Scale Flower U Pick with Wild Bird Farm

Episode 17

Monday, July 15, 2024 • Duration 58:17

I sit down with fellow grower and Youtuber, Tara from Wild Bird Farm to talk about her small scale U Pick and how she's been moving stems over her 4 year flower farming journey. I think you'll find this discussion particularly inspiring as Tara grows in a relatively small space but yet is able to pump out so many blooms!

You can find Tara at @WildBirdFarm both over at Instagram & YouTube!

Spring lessons & How Jordon built her farmstand Facebook following in months (Youtube Live)

Episode 16

Friday, July 5, 2024 • Duration 01:18:54

@jordonsflowerfarm and I have been texting all season long about successes & mistakes, and we want to share it all with you in a live and allow you to ask questions! More importantly though, Jordon has been hard at work building her "retail" following this winter & spring. Here is what makes Jordon's spring season so impressive:

1) Jordon relocated her farm to a completely different town in Oklahoma, about 1 hour away from her last farm. It's a completely different local market and Jordon had to put in farm infrastructure and plants AGAIN.

2) "Buttercup" the farmstand was put on site in late 2023 but Jordon really started rebuilding her local following this year. Jordon's Facebook page is now close to 4k followers and all of them are REAL potential customers (versus other flower farmers)

3) In less than 6 months, Buttercup has exceeded sales expectations and outperformed the farmers market as a sales outlet.

We are going to dedicate about 50% of our time talking high level about spring lessons learned including how Jordon accelerated Buttercup's success and then spend the other 50% talking about lessons learned with spring flowers. Come with coffee ☕️ and a notebook 📗. This one will be full of data & insights 🤓!

In this live, we switch gears, talking about selling retail but specifically at farmer's markets.

Talking flower farming business & profitability with Serina from You Can't Eat the Grass

Episode 2

Friday, February 23, 2024 • Duration 46:19

This was such a fun interview with Serina from You Can't Eat the Grass! Serina and Ian have been a huge inspiration for me.

The algorithm fed me their content back in 2021 and I was hooked. This was when I didn't even realize flower farming was a "thing". Serina focuses many of her videos on the flowers and selling them, but we get into flower farming business and profitability topics like:

1) Her farmer's market vs farmstand revenue and future plans to increase sales

2) Building $20 bouquets and her process/evolution

3) Rethinking about profitable $20 bouquets by decreasing the number of stems, but still increasing the value of those stems left

4) Some ah-ha's in terms of specific varieties that she has come to realize are less profitable than one may assume

5) General plan for 2024 & beyond ($100k or bust) And much more!! A huge thank you to Serina for her generous time.

You can find them over at @YouCantEatTheGrass on Youtube.

Head on over to Youtube where we share this interview on the screen. Get an idea for Serina's farm scale, operations and some nifty drone shots at https://youtu.be/V31bdlBeRTU

Deep dive on selling to florists via cooperatives, collectives & direct shipping

Episode 7

Sunday, February 4, 2024 • Duration 57:03

In our 1st live, we spent all of our time primarily talking about the traditional route to selling to florists - delivering to them either through a bucket run or via an availability sheet. But ya'll were still interested in hearing more about my experiences selling to a cooperative (similar to a collective) and shipping to florists. So that's what we'll cover in this live.

This will be a ~1 hr live where we will have a structured discussion, a quick fire section, and then open it up to more Q&A! Want to see this on Youtube, including all of the visuals we show of Jessie's cooperative? Head on over to https://youtube.com/live/DHGjqIjl1CU

Deep dive on selling to florists for beginners - availability Sheets, bucket runs and more! (Youtube Live)

Episode 6

Sunday, January 21, 2024 • Duration 01:05:07

In our first of many joint weekend morning coffee chats (via Youtube Live), Jordon and I will go into deeeeeep details about selling to florists.

Why us? We are two "newer" flower farmers reflecting back on selling to florists for the first time (Jessie was in year 2, Jordon was in year 1).

Here is what's going to make this conversation interesting:

** We have two completely different sized farms. Jessie grows on 40x90 ft with a heavy focus on forcing programmable crops like tulips & Lilies in New Jersey. Jordon grows on much larger acreage, having invested huge to go "big" starting in year 1.

** Between the 3 of us, we sell through 3 outlets to florists 1) Direct to florist (delivering to them) 2) Direct to florist (online & shipping to them) 3) Via a cooperative

This will be a ~1 hr live where we will have a structured discussion, a quick fire section, and then open it up to more Q&A!
