  • Back in Kansas, there was a family who grew veggies and all the customers would see was a small shelter, a scale, the produce, a sign listing prices and a money box. Rarely, if ever, did we actually see the vendor. One time a lady was there, barefoot and dusty, and she seemed to be the proprietor. A lovely lady. She might have been a flower spirit or angel, but you know. It was a great place and I would stop several times a week for fresh produce.
  • You can also get a license from your county as a street vendor and not pay for market entree, explore funeral homes, senior centers, nursing facility, assisted living, hotels- the are and less opportunities to sell, The number one skills for any business is to sell

    I'm never surprised to hear that farmers markets don't work for flower growers, the customer has a mindset of getting inexpensive, fresh produce, usually brings a limited amount of cash and isn't in the shopping for a high priced bouquet but I also think most flower growers undercharge severely for their flowers and wish they charged what they need to rather than what they think the customer wants to pay. I enjoy your candor very much!

    Yes, bouquets and roadafolioa too...loved watching you work to soothing music!!
  • This video was helpful. I'm also in Ohio and doing my first cut flower garden (personal for now). I thought about a stand at the end of my U shaped driveway since I live on a SR, if I decided to sell. I would attend a sip and snip; that sounds like so much fun.
