As a business person myself, I know that hiring a person was the last thing I wanted to do. But a smarter business person brought light the benefits of help. Health wise, you just can’t do it all and give the kids the time they need. Your mental status as well suffers with the pressure of producing when you just physically can’t take another step. You either take the leap or drown trying to keep up. Both of you can only do so much in the allotted selling time.
Local agricultural colleges are always looking for student placements. And students are always looking for relevant work. Having help at the busiest time, or when you’re not well or when (gasp) you have to take a break, it will help your business in the long run.
They are planning to get help for next year because this season was such a success. But this season is almost at an end and teaching someone takes time too. Doesn’t make sense any more for this season I think. But they know already they will need it for next season.
@@taylornelsen1856 last year they hired full time worker. If they hire for occasional time just like this, I'm sure it won't cost too much. And this year they sell 2x or more than last year
I've suggested Serena host bouquet making classes...I think you could make a good chunk of money off of that. My other idea is that you offer a "bouquet bar" package in which you charge maybe 300 dollars and provide like 6 buckets (or however many would be reasonable/profitable) and set them up at parties with the brown paper and a bucket of snips. At the most basic level, all you have to do is provide the materials and then go back to pick up you buckets. For another 100 dollars Serena could stay for an hour and assist with bouquet making. Flower bars at bachelorette parties and bridal showers are becoming super trendy.
A lot of people commenting seem to forget that Ian is in fact filming and editing this video for us, there is a story to tell and this is a way of still making money. So thanks for the video, both of you :) It's always great to watch a new update on how you and your farm are doing. As to the question what would I do if I were sick: Probably the same as you in your position, namely take time off to recover (considering you already had a good year in sales). Or, if you would really want to make the most of those lisianthus and bring them to your customers: to hire someone for one or two days to harvest the flowers and put them in the cooler for later use, or even have them arrange everything as well. Those tomatoes and eggplant look delicious! Bon appétit ;)
There is something about the reality and honesty of your videos that attracts me more than many of the other flower farming videos. Serena is such a trooper regarding her commitment to the farm and realizing your customers need to have a consistent choice of gorgeous bouquets. There is no better way to teach your children a fantastic work ethic then to have them see your passion for success. The way you smile results in an uplifting video that could have come across as a bummer.
Sometimes our plans don't line up with life. Rest. Rejuvenate. Heal. Without you two to operate the farm, nothing happens anyway. What a lovely summer you've had and thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Serena holding the little gatherings of beautiful flowers…. Smiling… always smiling.. beautiful! Your children are going to have the BEST chances of success in life being taught such beautiful positive attitudes. You guys are my hero’s!
At 12:10 minutes, I have never seen such beautiful marigolds! I've only seen short yellow ones. All of your music in this video was so enjoyable. I have to say that veggie casserole sounds dElicious! Praying you're both feeling greAt. Blessings!!!
Serena, I just loved this vid so much. Not the part where you were sick, but the demonstration of how committed you both are to your farm and business. It's alot of work to be self employed, I was raised in a family with a small business. It's not easy to hire help as others have suggested. A salary for an additinal employee cuts into what may already be very little profit. You two are amazing and your dedication and work ethic is admirable. I'm so happy that your flower stand was selling so quickly for you. Hopefully everyone was paying as they should and you were not being stolen from. I watched a video from Daniele at northlawn flower farm recently where she was experiencing some under payment. So terrible that anyone could think about stealing from or short changing such hard working flower farmers. Hopefully the good outweighs the bad. The fair looked great and so fun! Hope y'all had a great day out with kids. Hope you both are feeling much better now.
One thing I might do is simply bundle the Lizzies into one bouquet. Only have Lisianthus and a stem or 2 of greenery. That's IT. Each bouquet, all ONE color. Even Ian can do that! 😉 Having a Special Lizzy Sale in the roadside stand could prove to be quite popular!!! Probably popular at the market too!! I know I would buy it!!! Heck, during a sick week, I would probably do that for most every flower!!! A Helianthus bouquet, A Cosmo bouquet, A Marigold bouquet, Yeah, you get the idea...
Multi disiplinary training, for your farm and sales to survive on a FAMILY farm, all members of the family need to fill in for each other in the different tasks required.....food for thought in developing redunancies which you obviously need!!!!
So sorry you’re sick. You’ve both worked so hard (and smart!) this year and it shows in your growing business success. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Xx
Glad everyone is feeling better. Lots learned this past week, I am sure. Having backup plans...... because sickness happens no matter what is in bloom. Next year, no new projects during harvest/market time. Taking care of plants/harvest and arrangements, kids, home and regular maintenance is more than enough on your plate. Ian can learn (or if he already knows) harvest, stripping foliage off the plants. I It's easy to see how passionate you are about each flower/plant, Serena, but sometimes you just have to let someone else in and share your passion and help. Figure out 2023 budget to hire help during busiest time for flowers harvesting/arranging. And most important, just because you are young, Serena and Ian, you can't burn the candle at both ends and it not catch up with you. Having 4:00AM bedtime is not good or natural.
Its hard to see you get hit by a mega sickness every season - I can only imagine how it feels!!! :( Wishing you a speedy recovery! I appreciate Ian expressive relief at Serina prioritizing her health and being supportive.
The question really is 'What CAN you do?' Not much, when you're sick.... Omg the ending was hilarious (for us, not for Ian) I loved this video. As always I learned something, because we often have people asking for buckets and not once did I think of sending a 'suggestion' bouquet. Loved the fair footage. So glad you turned 'Lemons into Lemonade'! 🇨🇦Penny4a
I had to stop reading the comments to not snark at some of these keyboard warriors who don't understand how much work it is to maintain a farm and a popular TH-cam channel while also parenting two young children! You don't even show the bulk of the labor behind the scenes, focusing instead on the end result of harvesting and selling. Makes it look a LOT easier than it actually is. I'm pretty sure you both are sitting by the pool eating bonbons Sundays through Thursdays! Ya know, cause the flowers just magically appear and all you do is wander about cutting them while "wasting time" filming and editing 🤣 I think the punishment for a rude comment here should be a year of farming, ha ha! Feel better, both of you!
Oh yes, yes, yes!!! I so have to watch my tone as I actually did reply to some of these comments! All these people that apparently know so very well what to do and really not getting that they are doing so well already and are very aware of things and not as stupid to not realise obvious things like they will need a help in the future. People are crazy! 😅
@@anniinglucksdorf960 It's astonishing how many people seem to think they could do it better, and actually have the audacity to give unsolicited "advice." Unless those people also juggle a successful farm, a popular TH-cam channel, and two kids, they can sit down and shut up!
Have you tried selling straight bunches instead of bouquets? We have started selling dahlia bunches and sunflower bunches and they are popular. So much less work than arranging too
It's always better to be sick with a good Garden than to just be sick. I'm on my way to ER right now with the burst eardrum and far more. Good luck and get better.
So sorry you both got sick! That sucks... I was aghast at Ian chopping off all the flower heads - is there no 'pick your own' option possible, or at least 'select your own from our buckets'? I know I'd be quite happy to buy 'end of line stock'.
Time to teach Ian how to put together bouquets. After all he’s been watching you make them for 2 years now. I do get it. Having been the only one to decorated Christmas wreaths and my ex never having tried one has always frustrated me.
Ya agreed. And evenif he can't make bouquets atleast help to cut the flower stem and clean. It will take bulk of the work off. Buy a tripod and instead of filming just her, help her with it.
Spot on comment Maynard. Always annoys me how Ian simply wastes time just videotaping Serena when she is out harvesting flowers instead of harvesting some himself and lightening her load. These two really need some time management lessons.
I want your family to do well. Sarina you are so talented, your boutique are so beautiful. Eon you are a loving husband and a wonderful sajesman you make a great team. I wish I could help.
I’m feeling like the absolute luckiest farmer in the world… I haven’t been sick once in the last 2 1/2 years… not a sniffle nor a cough, nothing… and I know how rare that is for farmers selling at market.
Hope you both feel better! Lots of work but I'm sure it felt so good to clean up your gardens. Ian, the disappearing rainbow was stellar! I discovered Lizzies and Ranunculus thru watching your your vids and I am hooked. The blue Lizzies are stunning! So sorry you didn't get a chance to sell them all at the market Hopefully Ian wont chop their heads off as well!
Been there and done that recently. Reinjured my back and chores with the farm animals usually take 45 minutes , were taking me 1 1/2 hours to complete. It really does suck when you are sick or injured. I am farming alone and that stress doesn't help my recovery. But it only takes one good thing to happen....like watching humming birds in my pear tree or the sheep surrounding me when I had to sit down and my oldest ram put his head in my lap. I hope you feel better and do what you can.....there is no good reason to push yourself so far that you will make yourself sicker longer. Feel better and take a nap!
when you have a profitable biz its dumb to not hire help and lose lot more than the cost of such help or help your neighbour in return they help you if you need help when sick
Get well soon to both of you! Did anyone else catch the very quick footage of the double rainbow showing on the right side!! Thanks for taking us to the carnival with you, that was fun!🤣👍✌️💪
We have Amish neighbors and their teeny tiny kids (maybe 4 yrs old) are out in the fields helping harvest things. Then one of the sons looks about 8 years old, I see him out there behind the horses on the plow. Children are capable of much more than a lot of us expect.
Hi you sweet, loveable human beings! Your channel is the only one where i let the ads run to the bitter end. I just love your flowers! Serena you need a helper!!! Sending healing vibes from Mexico.
Praying for your strength level today as it is mrkt day. You have such a beautiful product. Hope you can relax on the weekend and get some extra zzzz's. linda from NE
I absolutely feel for you. I have a flower/veggie garden here in Delaware and recently came back from vacation with COVID! Yes I believe I caught it on the plane. Anyway, I thought I was over it, I tested negative about a week after coming back home. However, i have felt so drained and without energy to the point that I have actually done nothing in my garden for about 3 weeks! Thats very unusual for me cause I am always in the garden, daily all day. Definitely a side effect of covid for me, has been the draining of my energy. I hope you get well, rest and take it easy.
Take vit C 500 mg x 3 - 6 tabs a day, Lemon juice or pinch of citric acid in water 3 - 5 times day plus 1/2 tsp baking soda with water 3 - 4 times a day , cod liver oil 2 - 4 tabs a day. minerals potassium upto 3000 mg a day . magnesium 400 mg eat keto diet with IF , you'll get better
Such a great idea to use the hedge trimmer for your beds! I’m glad you decided to take the week off to rest, always a good idea to just let your body heal😊
Hope you feel better dear girl. The TH-cam videos of your farm bring so much joy to TH-cam. I love seeing the farm because the flowers and grasses are amazing. You both are so talented. Thank you.
Sorry you are sick Serena! I worked through many a cold and flu when I was your age. I still do try to push through when Im sick cause I hate sitting still. Listen to your body, rest when needed, keep up the fluids and good foods. ❤ We are tougher than we realize. Iain might want to cross train and make bouquets as well so you can have coverage on a sick day.
It is so hard to not be at your best! Sometimes on weeks like that it helps me to remember that something is better than nothing. Like yes pick the flowers, but just put them in straight bunches of 10, people will still love them and it’s better than running yourself to exhaustion ♥️
When everything fall apart of reasons we can’t control one good friend told me and at time I didn’t believe her - maybe it’s time to take a break! Break from what ? Break from eating, surviving ? Didn’t sound best option at best at that moment. But few years later - I saw her point. Don’t overdue yourself. We turned different way, we didn’t have any options but in the end - it was worth it. I don’t say - that you have give up flower farming or farming in general but give your self break, lower your expectation and give yourself time to heal. Hers body is giving strong message and just listen a bit
Glad you are feeling better Serina! But I could tell through out the video Ians progression of getting sick....you can hear it in his voice and watery eyes and such....will say a little prayer for your healing....next time I see you on youtube I hope to see you all well and good! Take care you guys. ❤🙏
Bless you Serena, 😢get well soon, the flowers always look absolutely beautiful and I love your channel so much if I lived near I’d always be buying them ❤
I literally screaming when you cut the rudbeckia and the other flowers with that cutting machine. I mean I think they still worth of alot of money if you sell it in bunches. Please hire help. You are super busy now and your flower farm is so successful this year. Literally need another hands to work in the farm
So glad you are feeling better. My wife an I found your channel 2 weeks ago and have watched at least 20 of your videos. Plan on goig back to the start of your channel are watching from the beginning. Love your enthusiasm and open dialogue on what it REALLY takes to sustain a smal scale farm.
Big hugs coming from Dartmouth Nova Scotia. Feel better. Love your videos. We are getting ready for a hurricane here. Take many nap and hot tea. Your flowers are amazing. Stay happy and safe. 🇨🇦😂❤️❤️
LOL! Is this real life or what! Had a great chuckle at the ending! Just like reading one of those children stories with a twist at the end! All said, here's good health to everyone, Ian, Serina, everyone, including you reading this! Cheers!
Really hope you feel better soon. There is never a good time to be sick. What’s more you are absolutely right. When you have kids it’s hard to get well properly. Sending out well wishes and your way 🙏🏻 Hope you’re flowers will give you much needed healing energy and your lovely family will care for you in whatever way they can xxx
So sorry you're sick! I feel so bad that you're suffering! Awww, little Dusty is hanging around near his mommy! Pets know! Those zinnias are huge and gorgeous! Wowie Zowie!!! 4:29 Flower down! Flower down! omg no flower left behind! Serina, I hope you're not pushing yourself too hard. The longer an illness lasts, the worse it is for your body. Leaves you more susceptible to more illness, more severe. I'm sure you feel the pressure to get those bouquets done, but you don't want to wind up pushing those flowers up from underneath!
My mother believed wen ever wee were sick. You get rid of your toothbrush to use a clean towel every day clean pillow cover every day . This is wile your are sick eat and drink well. Hope you are feeling better soon . Blessings love the flowers 🌷🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹
Hire help. May not get the profit margins, but flowers won't go to waste and you maintain customer bases that are used to seeing your product.
As a business person myself, I know that hiring a person was the last thing I wanted to do. But a smarter business person brought light the benefits of help.

It is so hard to not be at your best! Sometimes on weeks like that it helps me to remember that something is better than nothing. Like yes pick the flowers, but just put them in straight bunches of 10, people will still love them and it’s better than running yourself to exhaustion ♥️
When everything fall apart of reasons we can’t control one good friend told me and at time I didn’t believe her - maybe it’s time to take a break! Break from what ? Break from eating, surviving ? Didn’t sound best option at best at that moment. But few years later - I saw her point. Don’t overdue yourself. We turned different way, we didn’t have any options but in the end - it was worth it. I don’t say - that you have give up flower farming or farming in general but give your self break, lower your expectation and give yourself time to heal. Hers body is giving strong message and just listen a bit
Maybe consider a DIY bouquet bar next time, takes the effort out of arranging for you.
Glad you are feeling better Serina! But I could tell through out the video Ians progression of getting sick....you can hear it in his voice and watery eyes and such....will say a little prayer for your healing....next time I see you on youtube I hope to see you all well and good! Take care you guys. ❤🙏
when you have a profitable biz its dumb to not hire help and lose lot more than the cost of such help
Bless you Serena, 😢get well soon, the flowers always look absolutely beautiful and I love your channel so much if I lived near I’d always be buying them ❤
Hope you guys are feeling better! Glad to see you charging your tomato based lifeforce 😉
The fair looked so fun! Hope yall are all well and feeling better now!
I literally screaming when you cut the rudbeckia and the other flowers with that cutting machine. I mean I think they still worth of alot of money if you sell it in bunches. Please hire help. You are super busy now and your flower farm is so successful this year. Literally need another hands to work in the farm
Sorry you guys were sick. It's life's way of making us slow down and rest.
Since eggplants are your favorite, could you share some recipes that you use them in?
"It's kind of like an archeology site." 😂 That totally described my garden this year too.
So sorry to hear you are sick. Hope everyone is feeling better super quick.
Today may have been a good day for the assistant, but I understand when you are sick you just want to heal as quickly as possible.
Poor you!! At least you stocked the stand and enjoyed the fair! ❤
Great job getting the greenhouse cleaned up. That must feel good to have done. So glad that your roadside stand is doing so well!!! That is awesome.
Live how the snipping of the shears matched the background music, was a cool effect xx
So glad you are feeling better. My wife an I found your channel 2 weeks ago and have watched at least 20 of your videos. Plan on goig back to the start of your channel are watching from the beginning. Love your enthusiasm and open dialogue on what it REALLY takes to sustain a smal scale farm.
That was me, sick, a week ago. I'm doing better now, so glad you're feeling better too Serena. Get better Ian!!

Really hope you feel better soon. There is never a good time to be sick. What’s more you are absolutely right. When you have kids it’s hard to get well properly. Sending out well wishes and your way 🙏🏻 Hope you’re flowers will give you much needed healing energy and your lovely family will care for you in whatever way they can xxx
Add a green smoothy to your daily routine, also B12, DHA, vitamin D and K2. Beautiful ambiance this video, thank you.
Feel better! GORGEOUS flowers.
I love the way you take a day off, and then work your butt off. Get well.
Feel better soon! ❤
Awe, hope you all feel better!
the kids looked like they were having so much fun at the carnival!
Relax, take care of yourself. Your videos are so fun.
So sorry you're sick! I feel so bad that you're suffering! Awww, little Dusty is hanging around near his mommy! Pets know! Those zinnias are huge and gorgeous! Wowie Zowie!!! 4:29 Flower down! Flower down! omg no flower left behind! Serina, I hope you're not pushing yourself too hard. The longer an illness lasts, the worse it is for your body. Leaves you more susceptible to more illness, more severe. I'm sure you feel the pressure to get those bouquets done, but you don't want to wind up pushing those flowers up from underneath!
I do the shirt thing too, lol! My daughter bought me a basket, and I still use my shirt!
I have a family restaurant so I know what you mean. What a beautiful backdrop to work in. Good luck.
