VIDEO: We Planted 5000 Tulips For THIS!


This week we are opening up our roadside stand, harvesting our 5000 Tulips, arranging them into bouquets, and putting them up for sale! This is our 4th year farming, and we hope to actually make some money this year, and starting the season with a big Tulip harvest is the perfect jump start to get us on our way to our goal. Serina was working overtime to pull this off, she was busy our in the farm, pulling up Tulips, which we would store in the walk in cooler till they were reading to be arranged. Sales were strong, and we are excited about starting the farm season with a big win. The bouquets are all so colourful, these Tulips really put on a show. Hopefully we can convince all our customers that we are the only place they need to go for all the flower needs!

  1. Just some suggestions here, because I want you to be able to atleast make back what you've invested.
    1) $20 is too cheap for the quality product you provide. To make your bouquets standout from the rest, I'd plump them up to 15 flowers and maybe a few more fillers. Charge $30.
    2) The road side stand is too passive of a stream of income. You're heavily relying on people making their way to you… Make your way to them. Hire someone to go to whatever market is available to sell the bouquets during the week. Pay them per bouquet sold. You lose a lot of money paying employees by the hour (plus it rewards laziness).

  2. I had a bunch of my bulbs fall short of what i expected for my usual bouquet bunches. Sooo, i grabbed a bunch of the shorties with some filler and a few jelly size mason jars…voila! Perfect for a personal desk bouquet or small front reception office. Sometimes, a full $20 bouquet seems like a splurge for a small office or small apartment. These $10 shorties are a beautiful touch for a quick gift or pick-me-up without seeming extra.

  3. If Nicole is a crazy chicken lady, you're a crazy cat lady, LOL! Serina, you have to give credit to your ingenious and hard working man who made that cooler and thus enabled all this to be happening:))))
