Glad to see Serena’s smile and that she’s feeling better. Ian was a trooper to pick up all that responsibility and extra work for the last few days. Congrats to you both on your record market sales! Hooray! 👍🏻👏💗
If I lived in your area, I'd buy Serena's bouquets for sure! Nobody at my local farmer's market has anything that looks half as nice. There was one booth with bunches of sunflowers, and that's it. The two markets in my city are mainly fresh veggies, fruit, nuts, and lots of pre-made foods by local businesses.
I always thought that since I saw her flowers. Around here, the bouquets look very messy. I always end up buying 2 or 3 to arrange myself. Hers always look so balanced.
I wish folk would be buying flowers here in rural ne 😭 I go every week to my market (though sometimes with just sunflowers 😭) and usually don’t sell any
@@theglitterballlifestyle675 they likely look at buying flowers as an unneeded indulgence. What about growing plants with beautiful flashy flowers. My mother was thrifty but she couldn’t stop herself when she saw a beautiful pot of fushcia and begonias
Two years ago, after 52 years of marriage my wife had a heart attack. Darn it, I was supposed to go first. The firemen of station 5 in Tucson and the doctors at the university of Arizona operated and I have my wife back, safe and sound so I know what you are going through. God Bless you both.
I went through that after only 41 years of marriage. It is so scary. I am on a plant based diet as a result. Dr Caldwell Esselstyn has great videos on TH-cam. God bless. P s. I am out in the garden every chance I can. Just have to keep it short and sweet because of the heat.
Serena needs a "Floral Stem Cutter" it has a long blade, you stick the whole bouquet in and quickly slice the ends even....this will prevent some issues later with overworking her fingers and hands clipping each stem separate....at our stores floral dept they have the cutters bolted to a piece of wood and sitting across a sturdy garbage can...all the stems just fall right in, no fuss... :}
Aw Ian I love how you always look on the bright side of everything, Mr positive, you work so hard to keep everything going , well done for stepping up whilst Serena is under the weather, and those cherry's look so good
The worry and weight of it all is all over your face Ian. We know you're taking care of Serina, the kids, the farm, & the market. Be sure to take care of yourself too! Apricots are my favorite!
I would buy them over anything else, I never see them at the grocery store florists either- so they feel special to me when I can find them at the market instead of special ordering with a real florist
I sell dinnerplate dahlias by the stem in my roadside flower wagon ($4ea or 3/10). It's pretty much the only thing I sell July through November as my Campbell River 60x120 city property (including house) is not big enough for a wide range of product. The white ones sell like crazy in August but not before and not after. That said, a florist does like to come by and purchase them for weddings.
Ah so early! Gosh, I tried making a bouquet with flowers from my garden. It went.... Kinda well!?? I didn't have much choice -- One or two echinacea, some coreopsis, shasta daisies, and some Salvia. I envy your bouquets 😍😄... If only I could teleport to the farmers market every market day and buy a buncha stuff and teleport back home in Virginia. Is it just me or does the cherry segment remind me of Pac Man?!? 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Everyone should leave a like and comment to help these guys out, it must be really tough to keep producing content right now. You guys are amazing, an inspiration. Keep safe 💐🧡
Why not ask your viewers if anyone would want to come help out for a little bit during this crunch time. I also watch Roots and Refuge farm, and during their move to a new state, they have a lot of help from viewers and other farming TH-cam families to get theirs new place ready for them. I'm sure the TH-cam homesteading community would turn out for your family as well. I wish I were a little closer so I could do that, but I'm in southern California. God bless you both!
Congratulations. Those arrangements were so beautiful Serena. You guys deserve every success. Thank you for sharing the hard bits and not just the wins.
Did you decide to keep all the apricots? I didn't see them in the market. Or perhaps they sold out fast. Anyway, they looked wonderful, as did the cherries, and, of course, the flowers!
Congrats on the best market! Take good care, Serena (Ian too). We had bad smoke days last year (probably will this year also). My throat would get scratchy after a short walk. I can’t imagine working outdoor. I hope it doesn’t get much worse and that your masks are effective!
I commend you as a husband and business owner… you do what has to be done and that is remarkable. Thank you Ian and Serena for everything ! Love your videos and appreciate your efforts%. Get well soon, Serena!
@@leighannehagan2493 because she has been admitted to hospital with breathing difficulties caused by the smoke form the terrible fires close to their farm. She needs a mask to be able to work outside at all.
Serena I do think you are the lucky charm at the market! I think people have a soft spot for seeing families working together, especially with kids. Reminds me of the small business my parents had and seeing them work hard together. You should test and see if markets tend to do better when the family goes together 😋
I am so happy for you! Serina needs to take care of herself, but that goes for you too, Ian . I get more and more attached to and your family ever time I watch. This is my first year to watch your episodes, but find myself worrying about you and wishing the best for you. The love and respect you show each other and your children is refreshing. I’ve even wished I was wealthy enough to support you more than I do now. You are making an impact on the world. Love to you both.
When we had the multiple fires surrounding us in the Bay Area last summer...I always wore a N95 when going out into my garden. You might want to consider some kind of face covering at least to help your lungs for the foreseeable future...even if it's not comfortable.
Same! I’m a residential gardener in the bay and wore a n95 mask to survive working outside in the smoke, two years ago was awful. A plus was finding out it’s also the perfect mask to help with certain pollen allergies that a can ruin my work day.
Congrats on the best market ever! I don’t know what this says about me, but I always like the bouquets that don’t sell. Serina, sending positive thoughts your way. Please feel better.
It was nice to see Serena up and moving. Take it easy lady, as much as you can! The flowers are just gorgeous! I bet spending time with the flowers helped in some way! Congrats on a another successful market!
When you see the farmers battling the elements it brings home the environmental damage that is being done. Buy local, support farmers and save the environment ❤️🌽🧄🍅
I hope people who don't garden or farm watch your videos so they may see the SUPER hard work it takes to bring food to market. You're the two hardest working people in Canada!
The smoke’s actually even showed up here in Tennessee and it’s wreaking havoc on my asthma. I can’t even go outside and Kelowna is 2300 miles away from me so I can only imagine what the AQI is there.
Serena's flower bouquets are stunning, and for sure being the lucky charm at the market. Happy to know that your are getting some help. The cherry and apricots looked so yummy and you could also sell them as jam. Great footage and editing of videos 👍👍❤
Serena, your bouquets are amazing ! So glad that you are reaching your goals. I love your videos because you show also how hard work it is to grow so many beautiful things. Keep going and dont give up
Finally you made it 👏🙌 selling for more than 1000 dollars at the farmers market. It's always tough when one person is not feeling well. So Serina get better soon.
Ok, first of all, how awesome that I can LEAVE A COMMENT :) :) So glad you are doing better Serena, hopefully all those liatris/zinnias are making you feel better :)
Thinking of you guys! We have been dealing with a little bit of the smoke in Western NC but I'm sure nothing like y'all! Stay hydrated and safe. Also, we notice cooling masks or towels help a lot.
Crazy, we live in Ohio and we've had way to much rain, wish I could send our rain your way. You guys make great videos and your wife with her flowers is great. Keep up the great videos.
Wow! What an amazing Farmer's Market!! You all worked so hard 😍 So glad to see you up and about Serena xx Ooh and those apricots looked delicious, I know you don't normally sell fruit so did customers buy them?
Serina please get yourself a picnic sized plastic cooler with a handle to sit on while you harvest flowers. It's light and small and easy to carry from place to place. Sitting on it, you can harvest just as far into your beds as you can squatting kneeling or bending, and you can swivel around on it to reach 360 degrees of flowers. Good to see you out, but please take it easy and recover 100%. I ran a small business for many years and put in endless all nighters and no days off. I reached my financial goals, YAY, but now I have multiple auto immune issues and have had 8 eye surgeries trying to restore and maintain my vision. I can't drive or even walk unaided in unfamiliar places. Its hard to enjoy the life I worked so hard to attain. No amount of money is worth your health darling.
Glad to see Serina is feeling better. I hope her mask is helping. We had some smoke here from forest fires last week, and I could feel it, felt like something sitting on my chest. So glad the walk in cooler is up n running. Those apricots look great. Fun to harvest when you have so many ready to go. Thank god for the employee. Is she finally going to win employee of the month? That will be good that Serina can do the bouquets indoors, crank the AC. I need a ton more cosmos next year. I never start enough! Hahahaha. Take the long sleeves off when your in the cold room! I'd be in a bikini personally hahaha, but no camera. Flower magic! Yay. I'm so ordering a pile of procuts ahhahaha. Behind schedule hahaha surprise. Those bouquets are so pretty. The serina special hahaha. I never used to be big on sunflowers, but they're really growing on me. The stem on those pros are crazy! I want to make requests hahahhahaha. Firey passion bouquet whoohooo. I love it. Grass has no value hahahahaha. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 make some money Awwwww so nice Serina and Lia were able to come! No one wants white? Ahahahha funny. Comgrats on the awesome market.
I had to show my husband your video because I am so proud of you hitting your goal and having a thousand dollar "PLUS" week!! Great job guys! So glad Serina is okay and that Ian got some help. I knew you could do it! I always watch to see if you got that thousand dollar week. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Great job Ian, you really picked up the slack and Serena, those looked like extra beautiful bouquets this week. 😍💐 Have you two considered micro greens? •sell to restaurants. I haven’t got into it, as I am quite rural, but I’m told it’s good money. Keep growing 🌱🙏🏻
This has become my favorite TH-cam channel. I always look forward to your videos. The market one is my favorite. So beautiful flowers and veggies!!! You are very hard working people. I wish you the very best!!!! As I watch this video I am thinking:”today is Friday. They are harvesting and getting ready for another market!!” I hope you sell everything tomorrow!! Take care
Just found you guys yesterday. I find your videos so relaxing to watch even though I know how hard you work. I live in Ireland and we're experiencing a heatwave at the moment 30 degrees +, so I can't imagine 44 degrees 😳. Greetings from the Emerald Isle, Sara xxx
Love the flower bouquets , inspired to grow more myself ,hope your family is getting and staying well . I do have a tip for Serena, it's just about the way you rubber band the bouquets. If you slip the rubber band on just one stem of a bouquet then just wrap the rubber around the whole bundle and then slip it over one or more stems just past where you slipped it over the first time , Wallah done it's a really easy and quick. This is the way that we wrap salal bundles blue Huck that gets shipped to florist all over the world from the Pacific Northwest state of Washington. I hope you give it a try , love you guys 🌱🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹💮🌸🌾🌿🍅🍒🍆
The smoke is very bad this year - so many fires and no rain in sight. I know we’re all tired of them from Covid, but the proper n95 masks really help with the smoke/ash and are easier to breath through than the cloth masks. Happy to see Serena wearing one :) It would be nice to see her mouth when she’s talking, but it’s understandable to keep it on. Where is YOURS though??
Politicians just aren't doing the right thing for our environment. You both should carry around something to drink, to keep hydrated. Wear a mask. You do not need to make bouquets. Sell the flowers individually. You might discover a new way of selling them. Wishing you the best.
I truly love you two and your sweet relationship! I love the way you talk about Serina and how supportive you are of her and how you recognize how hard she works! Your a good husband! I hope she's feeling better (I think she is, right?) Stupid smoke, stupid fires!! 😥
Oh those bouquets are gorgeous!! Hope you’re feeling better. The 3M N95 masks that fully compress around your face were the best for the smoke in the Australian bushfires. Hope things get better soon.
Your bouquets are absolutely gorgeous! I am moving to the Okanagan region in the fall, I can not wait to visit your market stand. Take good care of yourself and I hope you are back to being 100% healthy
You guys are brave!! Just short times outside for Serina for this summer. Gatorade is good for electrolytes. Gorgeous produce and flowers. Always wowed!!
I feel for you guys. I was in Kamloops and Vernon right when Sparks Lake and Juniper fires first started and the smoke was bad then. Family is saying it's even worse now. I am very thankful that it hasn't made it down to the coast yet. We were on Saturna Island just last week and there wasn't much evidence of the mass kill-off in the tidal zone. Thank goodness for that! Stay safe!
We used to live on Okanagan Valley on the US side (Omak) - It is a magical part of the world. Now we are in the WIllamette Valley in Oregon. The fires are horrible. I am glad to see Serina wearing a mask- last year wearing KN95 masks was the only thing that made caring for animals and the garden possible.
So delighted that Serina is on the mend,, farming looks such hard work, how you find time to pick up the camera and make these videos with music, so professionally done,, you really do deserve all the success,, what gorgeous flowers and veggies for the lucky folk to buy,, well done and thankyou for sharing your journey,, best wishes from the UK, Lisa
Team flower here! Congratulations on the harvest! The room literally looked like a flower shop! Amazing! Really beautiful crop despite the challenges with the heat and smoke! What was that big round white daisy with the curled petals?
Glad to see Serena’s smile and that she’s feeling better. Ian was a trooper to pick up all that responsibility and extra work for the last few days. Congrats to you both on your record market sales! Hooray! 👍🏻👏💗

Same with my area! All veggies, no flowers. 😪
Love the white bouquets. What’s wrong with people?

Bless you and your family!
Aww, Mr Whitney I'm so happy that you and your wife can enjoy watching this channel together.
I went through that after only 41 years of marriage. It is so scary. I am on a plant based diet as a result. Dr Caldwell Esselstyn has great videos on TH-cam. God bless. P s. I am out in the garden every chance I can. Just have to keep it short and sweet because of the heat.

I wondered too, why she doesn't have one of those cutters. They look very efficient!
) P sa v
Yep... processed many packages of roses at the shop where I once worked. Loved that job!!!
Yes she has the cutter for some time now 👍👍
I know that Serina considers herself, "team veggies", but she is amazing at making bouquets! Beautiful work!
Aw Ian I love how you always look on the bright side of everything, Mr positive, you work so hard to keep everything going , well done for stepping up whilst Serena is under the weather, and those cherry's look so good
The worry and weight of it all is all over your face Ian. We know you're taking care of Serina, the kids, the farm, & the market. Be sure to take care of yourself too! Apricots are my favorite!
If air quality is orange to red highly recommend the whole family wear N95 masks when you head out/ are outside. Hopefully the air clears soon.
Yes, yes, yes! Having experienced multiple summers socked in with wildfire smoke, lung protection is so important.
It’s amazing that the white bouquets never sell! They’re so beautiful
I would buy them over anything else, I never see them at the grocery store florists either- so they feel special to me when I can find them at the market instead of special ordering with a real florist
You could drop of your bouquets that dont sell at your local nursing home
That's what they usually do,in case you don't know
That is such a lovely idea!
@@daintyflygirl4va I didn't know that!
IAN you need to get yourself a golf cart to ride around that giant beautiful farm of yours! I love this channel, I hope you feel better soon!

You should dry apricots too for the fall and winter season.
And apricot leather
Agree! IMO One of the very best dried fruits is apricots🧡
And jam
I would also recommend a mask with a good Respirator on it
Everyone should leave a like and comment to help these guys out, it must be really tough to keep producing content right now. You guys are amazing, an inspiration. Keep safe 💐🧡
Wearing a mask while outside in the garden would probably really help her, the kind with filters
Thank you for caring so much about the land you steward as well as the environment around you. The love you have for each other is so wonderful.
You all bring so much joy, smiles and laughs! But most of all you inspire me in my gardening endeavors!
I love all the positive comments from this community. How refreshing. These hardworking folks deserve every one of them.

Leftovers can be barter with other stallholders' products. Win/win situations
Good to see she is wearing a N95 mask.
WHY oH WHY does she need to wear a mask outside?!?
@@leighannehagan2493 BC is having a record year for wildfires and the smoke is really affecting everyone's health.
Because of the SMOKE!
@@leighannehagan2493 because she has been admitted to hospital with breathing difficulties caused by the smoke form the terrible fires close to their farm. She needs a mask to be able to work outside at all.
it’s so annoying how many people make comments before watching the video or only watch part of it.
I sure hope Serena feels better soon I miss hearing her talk

I like flowers in the bathroom so the white bouquets would be perfect.
Wow! Your flower arrangements are crazy beautiful.
the high-quality editing and filming does not go unnoticed!!
When we had the multiple fires surrounding us in the Bay Area last summer...I always wore a N95 when going out into my garden. You might want to consider some kind of face covering at least to help your lungs for the foreseeable future...even if it's not comfortable.

You make the most beautiful bouquets I wish I was there to buy them up!!
how I wish I had some of those cherries
Hope and pray you sell everything , all your beautiful flowers , for all the hard work you both do🇦🇺
I subscribed.
Everything is beautiful. Your life itself is beautiful.

I always get white bouquets on July in memory of my dad..I would buy Serena's bouquets if I lived in the area!
I love love watching serina making the bouquets 💐
Oh my the flower bouquets Serena made are so gorgeous!! especially the ones at 25:00 and 25:06. I wish i could buy 10 bunches from you!!

So glad that you are reaching your goals. I love your videos because you show also how hard work it is to grow so many beautiful things. Keep going and dont give up
Finally you made it 👏🙌 selling for more than 1000 dollars at the farmers market. It's always tough when one person is not feeling well. So Serina get better soon.
How hard could it be to go market 3 times a week all the flowers and veggies that go to food bank could be profit for the farm
Just wondering if it would help you guys to wear a mask on the bad days?
CONGRATS! Nice way to turn things around after such a rough week!
Like I’ve said b4. I’d love to know how many steps u guys take in 24hrs. 😬 I bet it’s over 30k!
I hope you feel better soon Serena, Ian you are doing a great job. Blessings to you both.
Ok, first of all, how awesome that I can LEAVE A COMMENT :) :) So glad you are doing better Serena, hopefully all those liatris/zinnias are making you feel better :)
Great day at the market! Well done, BOTH teams!

I would have purchased those white bouquets! Congratulations on your record market!!😊
The flowers look lovely! But why wouldn't you sell those gorgeous apricots? You've got so many and I'm sure they'd sell well
All for us, we loaded the freezer
Why dont u make jams n sell it ...the fruits
Crazy, we live in Ohio and we've had way to much rain, wish I could send our rain your way. You guys make great videos and your wife with her flowers is great. Keep up the great videos.
Ian sounds sort of like Mordecai from regular show 😂👏
He totally does!!!
So sorry Serena. You could always wear an oxygen mask while your outside ❤️
Congrats you guys!!! Shoutout to y’all’s employee and the walk in cooler. I hope your future market prep goes as smooth as this week!
Congratulations on a great market under difficult circumstances. 💐🥕🥒🎉
You could really use a GORILLA CART, I love mine!!
💯just got one! ❤️
Good market day guys..keep it up..
Best Luck for your journey..God bless your Family..🙏
Stay healthy and strong guys..💪
Loving Serina’s hot colored bouquets!😍😍❤️👏👍👍

Wow! What an amazing Farmer's Market!! You all worked so hard 😍 So glad to see you up and about Serena xx Ooh and those apricots looked delicious, I know you don't normally sell fruit so did customers buy them?

So glad the walk in cooler is up n running.
Those apricots look great. Fun to harvest when you have so many ready to go.
Thank god for the employee. Is she finally going to win employee of the month?
That will be good that Serina can do the bouquets indoors, crank the AC.
I need a ton more cosmos next year. I never start enough! Hahahaha.
Take the long sleeves off when your in the cold room! I'd be in a bikini personally hahaha, but no camera. Flower magic! Yay.
I'm so ordering a pile of procuts ahhahaha.
Behind schedule hahaha surprise.
Those bouquets are so pretty. The serina special hahaha.
I never used to be big on sunflowers, but they're really growing on me. The stem on those pros are crazy!
I want to make requests hahahhahaha. Firey passion bouquet whoohooo. I love it. Grass has no value hahahahaha.
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 make some money
Awwwww so nice Serina and Lia were able to come!
No one wants white? Ahahahha funny.
Comgrats on the awesome market.
I had to show my husband your video because I am so proud of you hitting your goal and having a thousand dollar "PLUS" week!! Great job guys! So glad Serina is okay and that Ian got some help. I knew you could do it! I always watch to see if you got that thousand dollar week. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
The white boquets are so beautiful, why didn't anyone buy them? They're absolutely GORGEOUSSS!!
You are seconds away from 100k subs!! Whooo hooo. Great market. Y'all take care of you!
Stay safe and God bless you all. 🌱🐖🐄🐓🐐🌱 Lisa

This is the way that we wrap salal bundles blue Huck that gets shipped to florist all over the world from the Pacific Northwest state of Washington. I hope you give it a try , love you guys 🌱🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹💮🌸🌾🌿🍅🍒🍆
Those purple bouquets are so beautiful!
The smoke is very bad this year - so many fires and no rain in sight. I know we’re all tired of them from Covid, but the proper n95 masks really help with the smoke/ash and are easier to breath through than the cloth masks. Happy to see Serena wearing one :) It would be nice to see her mouth when she’s talking, but it’s understandable to keep it on. Where is YOURS though??
Politicians just aren't doing the right thing for our environment.
You both should carry around something to drink, to keep hydrated. Wear a mask.
You do not need to make bouquets. Sell the flowers individually. You might discover a new way of selling them.
Wishing you the best.
I truly love you two and your sweet relationship! I love the way you talk about Serina and how supportive you are of her and how you recognize how hard she works! Your a good husband! I hope she's feeling better (I think she is, right?) Stupid smoke, stupid fires!! 😥
Oh those orange ones wow 🤩 thanks for sharing with us🌿🌸
Oh those bouquets are gorgeous!!
Hope you’re feeling better. The 3M N95 masks that fully compress around your face were the best for the smoke in the Australian bushfires. Hope things get better soon.
Your bouquets are absolutely gorgeous! I am moving to the Okanagan region in the fall, I can not wait to visit your market stand.
Take good care of yourself and I hope you are back to being 100% healthy
You guys are brave!! Just short times outside for Serina for this summer. Gatorade is good for electrolytes. Gorgeous produce and flowers. Always wowed!!
I feel for you guys. I was in Kamloops and Vernon right when Sparks Lake and Juniper fires first started and the smoke was bad then. Family is saying it's even worse now. I am very thankful that it hasn't made it down to the coast yet. We were on Saturna Island just last week and there wasn't much evidence of the mass kill-off in the tidal zone. Thank goodness for that!
Stay safe!
We used to live on Okanagan Valley on the US side (Omak) - It is a magical part of the world. Now we are in the WIllamette Valley in Oregon. The fires are horrible. I am glad to see Serina wearing a mask- last year wearing KN95 masks was the only thing that made caring for animals and the garden possible.
So delighted that Serina is on the mend,, farming looks such hard work, how you find time to pick up the camera and make these videos with music, so professionally done,, you really do deserve all the success,, what gorgeous flowers and veggies for the lucky folk to buy,, well done and thankyou for sharing your journey,, best wishes from the UK, Lisa
Team flower here! Congratulations on the harvest! The room literally looked like a flower shop! Amazing! Really beautiful crop despite the challenges with the heat and smoke! What was that big round white daisy with the curled petals?
