When the world gives you flower, you make bouquets. For this weeks farmers market, we are using food coloring to attempt to make rainbow sunflowers, that we assume, will sell quickly at the farmers market. We also have a bounty of zinnias, snapdragons, cosmos, and dahlias to build bouquets with. For veggies, all the usuals are there, carrots, beets, zucchini, cucmbers, and tomatoes. The forest fire smoke is an issue this week, and it is slowing us down, plus traffic at the market will be down. Regardless, our $1000 market sales goal remains, we must make the money necessary to keep the lights on at the farm, so smoke or shine, we need to get to that farmers market to sell our bouquets and veggies.

I love all the beautiful flowers you grow! Wish I lived near you so I could buy some!
Why are you wearing a mask outside at your own garden? Is that mandated where you live?
I'll put you folks at the top of the list for people I know of that have every right to be sick of masks. So sad. Take care of yourselves.
Hahaha u guys are the best! I did start going to the local farmers market after watching you.
those are BEAUTIFUL!
Your farm and surrounding area is so beautiful! What state are you?
Love it thank you
I’ve been thinking about you guys this weekend from Calgary. Stay safe guys!
Hey all white maybe for weddiñg need a little Colo I personally don't like sunflowers in a bouquet
Gorgeous produce, makes my mouth water. Gorgeous flowers, all of them make my heart soar. All of it brings me joy at your successful growing. I pray for a great rain, gentle and long enough to completely extinguish that fire. Great work guys.
If you are going to make this many bouquets, in my humble opinion, you need a cutter/chopper thing to save your clipping/cutting hand. That work adds up, trust me, I'm just gardener.
I just want to put a question to you. Do you think testing a bouquet bar would be a profitable idea? Could help sell flowers, at your roadside stand the market, or possibly both. I don't know if that sort of option adds work.
Funny advertisement at the end, funny Ian.
Brights pop when you have muted accents, it’s more complex so adds to the beauty of the bouquets.
Are you in Oregon, Washington or over the border up north?
Your farm is absolutely beautiful. You two have grown by leaps and bounds! You work so hard! God bless you all.
first time i saw white sunflower.its so pretty
Your rudbeckias are beautiful. Can you tell me where you got the seeds? Everything is gorgeous
The only thing that would make the stand more beautiful is a flower crown on Ian. That would be awesome!
Your efforts are REMARKABLE. We buy as much as possible from our farmers market (we are 12 miles north of NYC, along the Hudson River) and know the labor is huge. Your flower bouquets are FANTASTIC!
Waoo everything looks amazing!!!!! I admire both of you!!!!
The ameranthus looks awesome.. You could cook them every week tastes amazing
I love your rudbeckia so much I was wondering what variety are they???
