  • Welcome to the sister podcast of Youtuber bareflowerfarm where we interview flower farmers with all experiences- those with just 1 year under their belt to over a decade.

  • Tips for a successful farmstand with Lennie Larkin (Flower Farming for Profit) - Part 1
    Apr 29 2024

    This is a longer interview split into two parts and this is Part 1!

    I interviewed Lennie of B-Side Farm & Flower Farming for Profit to talk about how we can set flower farms up for long term success and we got down the rabbit hole of farm stands! We let the conversation go DEEP and I know this conversation will help you- whether you're looking to sell through a farmstand or a different outlet.

    We cover the following topics:

    • Leasing a farmstand if you cannot have one on your property
    • Little things you can do to optimize your farmstand for success
    • Pricing/mark ups

    Lennie also has a free resource on farmstand tips for anyone interested! https://bit.ly/3UfWdQe

  • Pop-Up Sales: Flower Farmer Makes $4.5k+ in 3 months
    Apr 9 2024

    Robyn is a microgrower in MA. She took The Tulip Workshop to maximize her indoor growing space where she was able to grow over 5000 stems this winter. Without a website or a traditional sales outlet, she was able to move a majority of these stems through pop ups!

    We talk in detail about how she approaches pop ups, realistic expectations and how a "hustle" mentality has led to a successful second season. I loved this conversation because Robyn has stayed true to herself - she leans into her strengths and does what works for HER. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed interviewing Robyn.
