- 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. This is the peak of the Ranunculus production, plus other flowers like Snapdragons, Peonies, and Feverfew are coming online for us. There are so many bouquets this week that we have a chance to break our record for best farmers market ever! This is our 4th year farming, and every year the business has grown, but by next year we need to be profitable, so our sales numbers need to continue to grow to new heights. Will we break our all time farmers market sales record of $1580 by bringing a massive amount of rainbow Ranunculus bouquets, and beautiful $40 arrangements? You have to watch to find out. If you made it this far into the writeup, how about giving a like to our video, it really helps us out!

Hooray!!!! I remember when you were selling $10 bouquets and debating going to $20. And now you’re selling out $40 bouquets 💐 Thanks for taking us on the journey 🥰
If i were local, I'd buy the heck out of those 40$ bouquets. They're so good
Congrats ! But Yikes i’m a broken record but a knee high table to have the flowers show more than the buckets and paper would be great. Here’s an idea, you could use your green metal pull wagon, it would look authentic etc.
I’m in architecture and interior design, so your’e getting premium free design consulting right there ;)
Also the door to the roadside stand could be red, keeping with your name, and lettering of your logo on the fence could be bolder. I’d put greenery or colourful fake bouquet of flowers (waxed paper to be eco friendly ? Fabric ?) You gotta catch attention, of course tastefully.
oo I had the same idea about a shorter table in front, but the wagon is a great idea!
Even the ground, use what’s available, I agree about showing the flowers 💐 rather the paper & buckets.
Yes add a low shelf!
I think for visual purposes it would be helpful to have a tier lower than the table at the farmers market, like a bench or something. So that people can see the beautiful flowers from above!! there are folding benches on amazon that look exactly like your folding tables but bench height
I was thinking the same! Totally agree. 3 tier stad will be even more colorful and vibrant as you will see bouques lower - where colors will be seen further away from the stand. And even at the stand (telling as a short person).
I agree! The table should look like a stair so customers can see in the top of flowers!
I was thinking the same. All tiers downward. Imagine being able to look down onto all that ravishing beauty!!!
I agree with this, a lot of florists in the U.K. have lower tables/benches so you can see as you approach
Yes agree, and I know red roof is your theme, but I wondered if the red tint from your pop up kind of mutes the beautiful flower colors? I wonder if a more neutral pop up might allow the flower colors to show up better?
How wonderful! I'm so happy for your successful week. Also glad to see Serena feeling better. 💖
I've never felt so happy and excited cheering on those sales numbers!! All your hardwork is blossoming into cold hard cash💛💛💛
Congrats on the 3300 week! Wow! Fantastic!
Wow! Love watching these start-to-finish videos. We can enjoy the satisfaction of the fruits (flowers) of your labor vicariously.
I’m so happy for you guys. Your hard work is paying off. Plus your flowers are gorgeous! God Bless your family.
Soooo happy for you! You deserve it after all the work you put into this! Your flowers are always beautiful! A little marketing hint if you wish too. Would be to get a large ink stamp of your logo for your paper wrap. People would see the stamp when others are walking around the market with flowers. Also it’s too cute of a logo to not put it everywhere 😂 best wishes to do even better next week 💐
Your bouquets this week were gorgeous!!! Congratulations! That had to be one of the best feelings!!
#RIDONCULOUS! 🤯
Huge CONGRATULATIONS 🤑
to The Whole Family!! 👨👩👧👦
#BigInspiration 💪🏼
Great for you guys! Hard work pays off!
Yes, the bright colors are pretty stunning - big attention grabbers - BUT! I personally LOVE the dark burgundy ranunculus - that bouquet at about 20:15 with all burgundy ones and the tiny pink and white flowers, with the buds hovering above it all, and the delicate greenery... Beautiful! 🥰❤
Have you thought of setting your display up as a 'U' at the market, it would allow you to move around the center to serve people, but would still allow customers time and room to look over everything and make a decision... I personally hate stalls where I am waiting for others in front of me, cannot see all the goods and then once you are being served to have to make instant decisions... just a thought!
Such a great idea! Although there might be size constraints. Would be awesome if it could work though!
So excited for you guys on your success this week! Can't wait to watch you have one week of success after another this summer.
anybody else scream in utter terror as the bouquet was dropped!? 🤣😂🤣😂
anybody else SUPER proud of this family and their progress!?!? 😃 thanks for taking us along. so fun to watch. WE ARE ROOTING FOR Y'ALL!
yes to shock at the drop!
yes!!! can't believe they were dropped :(
I was still traumatised seeing it laying on the ground while they were chatting lol
obviously the fleurs are hardier than we give them credit for
Yeah, I think I heard the flowers go “Nooooooooooo!” (thump)
Congratulations on the awesome sales week! 💐🌻🌺🌷🌼🌸🌾🎉‼️
Things are looking good! I’ve been watching y’all’s channel since b4 you moved to your farm I believe and it’s really good to see the progress y’all have made. You deserve it! With all the hard work you do, I’m not surprised at how well things are going. Congratulations!! 🌻🌼🌸🌺
Wow! Love your bouquets Serena, they’re fantastic!
Congratulations 🌸🌼👩🏼🌾🧑🏼🌾💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼 Well done and well deserved! It’s so wonderful seeing the evolution of your beautiful farm ,business growth, and work ethic! You both have learned so much (so have we), in the 4 years of full time gardening! I am so happy for you!
Everything looks amazing!!
Have you thought about lowering the shelves a bit more at the market? From up front, it seems like the buckets take up a lot of the visual space. If the shelves were a bit lower, people would have more chance at seeing the bouquets directly.
I love the dark purple ranunculus... especially in the rainbow bouquets. They offset the pink really well and make the brighter colours pop. I think they’d be missed if they weren’t in those bouquets
Congratulations 🎊 in hitting an epic week total.
Your flowers are so so beautiful 💐🌺🌸
Awesome job guys! I'm not at all surprised with the success of your road side stand, ours has been fantastic for us these past several years and people look forward to it opening each year. You guys are my favorite channel on you tube and I eagerly await the next video, nice to see that flowers sell so well and at a price point that veggies can't match as well as veggies being much more labour and time consuming. So happy for your families success!! Thanks for your hard work from us here in Cape Breton!
That’s called polychromatic in floristry (the rainbow bouquet) . They look so awesome! 😍
I love the rainbow bouquets! I feel like if you added a filler that has little white (like those little daisy looking stems) would REALLY make the colors pop!
I’m so proud of y’all! Your flowers make the world a more beautiful place🌸🌺🌹🌷
Congrats guys, hard works paid off
Awesome week! Congratulations 🎊
I like your channel because you’re so honest and showed every aspect of a floral business. I quit my job 3 years ago and started selling African violets. My experience is very similar to yours and I couldn’t believe that I am making more money than my previous jobs. The more rare varieties of flowers I get, the more money I make. I am truly happy for you!
I am so happy for you!!! Both of you are two of the hardest working people. You truly deserve your success! I really enjoy watching Serena gush over all the flowers.
It's hard to not feel lucky when you have a room full of flowers to play with
I'm so happy to see your farm flourishing!! I've been subscribed for over a year now and love seeing your success grow and grow!! Congrats and I can't wait to see all your hard work pay off.
That's the case here too! Always looking forward every week!
Congrats on the weekly total and market day!!!
Congratulations so happy for you
Woohoo!!! Congratulations.
This market and the farm stand have succeeded sales goals and justified the transition to a focus on flowers. In addition to extraordinary hard work growing the garden, your analysis of prior year's sales is key to this year's sales. Live long and prosper!
Congratulations and even more sales in future. Praying for all of you to be healthy and happy, congrats again!
Your ranunculus are so beautiful. I have a suggestion. There is a booth, at our flower market that has buckets of ranunculus only, and buckets of other flower varieties. I can purchase just the flowers I love, instead of a pre-made bouquet. Maybe you can offer that option, along with your pre-made bouquets. There may be others, like me, whom prefer to make their own bouquets. Just a thought :)
Omg!!! Amazing you guys!! Massive congratulations to you both x
It turned out really well, we are still excited about it
@@YouCantEatTheGrass I bet!
You both deserve it, all that hard work you do, the late nights and early mornings too 😍 I know I've said it before, but ty so much for taking us on this journey with you. I aspire to have land and a Flower farm one day ❤️
So glad your flower business is picking up! ❤️🌸
I’m so happy for you guys and the success you guys are having!!! Congratulations 👍🏼🥳🥳
Love the rainbow bouquets! I think you should make dried flower wreaths and that would definitely help you get more money! You could even and sell them on e-bay!
Well done! So good to see this successful for you
I remember the conversation of how the blue was in this season. I love them so so much. 💖
Love your show ! Wish you all the best!!💐
Wahoo!!!! Your giving me hope too!!
Your smashing i! 👍👍🌸🌸😊😊
Congratulations....that is awesome. I am so in love with the ranunculus. The colors are so brilliant. I agree, the deep purple/red are very autumn-ish. Little suggestion; keep your counter tops wiped clean when loading up the road stand. The same dried stems have been on the counters for the last 2-3 videos. It takes away for the overall backdrop for your beautiful bouquets.
The air-conditioner is blowing the dried flower installation apart. We keep cleaning them up, but it keeps shedding. I think it only has another month or 6 weeks till it start to look empty and we have to take it down or remake it
Beautiful bouquets! I would have a hard timechoosing between rainbow and pastel, they all look fabulous. So happy it is coming together. Now for Sabrina to get more sllep 😊
What a great week for you 💜
Congratulations!
You two are amazing!
I’m so happy for you all! Great sale at the market!!
Amazing! So very happy for you guys! All the flowers were "chef's kiss" gorgeous!
So happy for your success 💗
Congratulations on your fantastic week of sales! You both must be so happy and proud! All your hard work and planning is paying off (pun intended 😉)
Amazing job! Well deserved
So well deserved! It's lovely to see your progress over the last few years and I'm so excited to see how you continue to grow this season. x
I'm so happy to see your success!!! Your arraignments are stunning! Keep up the hard work and success will continue to follow you.
Love your henna design
Congrats on reaching your goal and beating it. All your late nights and hard work is paying off.
Congratulations on your new sales record! 👏 it's always exciting to hear the totals. Glad for your success...
Things would sell even better if you had a tiered flower stand for the market.
Congrats!!!! Great job at the market. The flowers are beautiful!
The prank cards are my fav- I can't wait till those are available online!!
BRAVO!!
Congratulations on the sales. The arrangements look beautiful.
Love to see u in the morning!!! You made my day❤️
Congratulations! It's wonderful to see so much hard work pay off. I was yearning for the white bouquets and the dark pink one at 20:16 that looked somehow like summer pudding with cream...
It totally does
Awesome all around. 🎉
Congratulations 🥳 Ian & Serina 👍🏼👍🏼 all that planning & hard work paid off. Have a great rest before another peak sale week 🥰
Yaaayyy!! Congratulations!!

Amazing, you guys TOTALLY deserve it! You are inspirations!
Wow!!! So happy for both of you!! That is amazing! 👏 🙀
My road is not busy at all and I'm not close to any one but went ahead and set up a small stand and sign to see if I can establish a small customer base that way. We shall see.
Really happy for you guys ,your hard work pay off very very happy 🌈❤️
I’m so thrilled for you two! 🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely gorgeous bouquets
20:24 Hi Serena! I just want to ask if you include this beautiful variety of rananculus in your 2023 planting? The pinkish peach one in the middle above the white rananculus. The color is gorgeous!!!😍😍😍😍😍
That was a mutation in my yellow patch. It's the best colour I've ever seen though, lol. I have it marked, so I know which saved corm it is
@@YouCantEatTheGrass OMG! Beautiful mutation! Hope you can multiply them so that after 3-4years you can have them in one green house full of them😍😍😍
I’m wishing much success for you guys and I love your videos. 💐
Love your channel ❣️
Congratulations 👍
Congratulations! If I had any aspirations of being a flower farmer/seller, I'd so have to credit 'Everything you see here is a total rip off of Serina, from You Can't Eat The Grass!' lol
I’m so happy for you guys! 🥰🥳
I need these overalls for shirtless front yard shenanigans
I love your videos! I can’t wait for you to do huge $ you work so hard!
Did u get a better location this week at the market? Maybe that also helped sales.
Great sell today. How are u serena. You look a bit better 🌼💖
Я плоха понимаю ваш язык но мне всегда приятна вас видет
Yay!!!!
You need another small movable cooler with shelves, easy to load and save a lot of time.
Do you use liners in the metal buckets? I’ve always been told not to put bouquets into metal buckets but they look so good and would love to be able to use them too.
I wish I was a neighbor. I would buy prank cards for certain. Maybe she needs an etsy store.
