Cut Flowers for Profit - Grow | Market | Sell (Recorded Webinar)
For the past four years, I've embarked on the journey of establishing and expanding our cut flower business. Transitioning from years in the produce industry to the world of cut flowers presented a new challenge. Besides mastering the cultivation of beginner-friendly flowers, understanding their unique growing needs, identifying markets, and ensuring the successful distribution of my blooms, it wasn't a seamless transition. However, after years of dedication, we've successfully shifted from produce to cut flowers, and our farm is now thriving. In this live class, I'm excited to share the insights gained from all the hard work and dedication poured into making my flower farm profitable, laying the groundwork for your success!
