It’s a weird truth for flower farmers, but summer is actually a slower time for flower sales. Today we are breaking down the normal summer flower slump, talking about some of the ways that it affects us, and celebrating our strong sales despite it. __________ Ian and Serina of YOU CANT EAT THE GRASS feel…
Summer on our flower farm, is a busy place. We don’t work all the time, but between tending to the farm, harvesting and arranging bouquets, keeping up with the roadside stand, selling at Farmers Markets, or editing and filming these vlogs, we work almost all the time.

It’s June on the farm, which normally means hot summer day causing the flowers and veggies to explode into massive growth. But not this year!

We have been working hard and selling lots of flower bouquets down at the farmers market so far this year, but this week we want to sell even more.

Ranunculus are still producing in large quantities, and we have used them to make the ulitimate bouquet recipe, a rainbow ranunculus bouquet.

This is the final Farmers Market of the year for us to sell Tulips. They are the first big flower crop of the year, and so far in our previous two markets with them, Tulip Bouquets have sold really well. We feel confident we can still sell lots of Tulips, the problem is we don’t…
