Massive Flower Harvest Heading To Market | And BLUE SUNFLOWERS?!?

  • 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.

    Sunflowers are beautiful naturally, don’t like the dyed ones at all!
    Van Gough bouquets are stunning.
    Take good care 😘

    😂 Ian’s disclaimer at the end make me chuckle. As usual, gorgeous bouquets again this week Serena!
    Hope the smoke clears up this week. It’s CRAZY, we were getting wildfire smoke from the west coast all the way over here in VT about a week ago. 😳

    • @cheriemartin3767

    It is such a shame your vegetables don’t sell as well as flowers. I can’t imagine anything better than home-grown freshly picked produce, even if it means a separate trip to farmers market as oppose to getting all your food shopping at a supermarket in one go.
    Wouldn’t it be great if local supermarkets also had a section and sold your produce not only supporting local community but also bringing best food available to people.

    • @EvelynM-vlogs
      @EvelynM-vlogs 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'm guessing there are less flower vendors at the market then their are fresh food vendors. It's not that vegies don't sell, its just that there are many other vegie farmers at the market. Customers split their purchases amongst all of them.

  • @donnaferguson3665
    @donnaferguson3665 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Though the dyed sunflowers was an interesting experiment, please just use the natural colored flowers. No need to improve on nature’s beautiful rainbow of colors. People buying at farmers’ markets are looking for the “natural” instead of the “artificial.” Kudos to you, though, for always being willing to try something different just to test the marketability. .

    You could do "ready to cook" packs of veggies, like tomatoes and an onion and some garlic and basil like for pasta, or ready to cook Bolognese sauce ( carrots. celeriac, tomatoes and basil), you could also use all the leftover leaves from the basil you clean for the bouquets and make pesto, people love freshly made pesto.
    I think you are amazing.

    Great ending! haha. I think its clever but also really sums up the core of what you guys do and why you do it. I would add a "support your local farmer's market" message in every vlog. It really drives your message home. Great work.. and the footage of the flowers... absolutely gorgeous.

    As a kid I thought it was fun to dye flowers that way, but I really prefer the natural colors of flowers. Those white sunflowers are beautiful just as hey are. I have seen a lot of dyed ones in the grocery stores, especially orchids.

    • @zaria5785
      @zaria5785 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah I agree. A couple years ago spray painted mini-cacti were popular at Home Depot. I haven’t seen them for the past couple seasons though. Perhaps not that popular?!

    Loved the ending comments! The bouquets were amazingly lovely this week. I do agree with your customers on the dyed sunflowers. Flowers are so naturally beautiful that dying can’t improve them. Sure hope the smoke situation gets better. Thanks for another great video.
