Thank you so much! I’ve been watching your videos for months now and you make me believe in myself! Bless you with beautiful flowers.
Yay Sarah! 💐🥰
I love how free and unplanned your videos are. You are so real. Some gardening youtubers are so "perfect" on their videos that their projects come across as too hard for us plain people. Love your face.
Thank you so much! Even I don't know where the videos are going 90% of the time :) I agree- it's hard to relate to some people, some projects just aren't realistic. Fun to watch-- and inspiring-- but not realistic.
Love hearing about your CSA.....such beautiful pictures! 🌷💐🌼🌻
Thanks, Peggy!💐
Sold out in 6 min!! That’s awesome !! Good for you ! 🤗
Yes! Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of the information and wisdom. I wanted to do this for the 2020 - 2021 season. I have around 600 Dahlia growing now and wanted to invite people onto the property but there are strict guidelines for health and safety here in New Zealand and I don't want to hurt people because I haven't filled a hole. The next option was to offer a CSA! Bammmm and there you are spreading joy in my life
Woohoo! I feel the same way about people wandering the property. Too nervous about liability! 💐
lol....sons of beeches!!! you're awesome
😂💐
Thanks for all the inside scoop on CSA ❤
Thank you! Always helpful information, and so fun to see you happy in the trees 🌲🌲🙌🏻
Always happy in the trees 🌲 💐🥰 Thank you!
Congratulations on your CSA success for 2021!!!!
Thank you, Theresa!
I learn so much from your videos. You're awesome!
💐🥰 Thanks!
I absolutely adore you! You will gain so many subscribers at some point, your camera presents is out of this world amazing. I am so so excited to come along on this journey 😁
Aw thank you! I appreciate it! 💐
🤣 omg my brain, "superstar!" popped into it when you were smelling your fingers 🤣 I'm pretty sure you'll get the reference. 😁
Wow $20/bouquet is a fantastic price sure wish I lived in your 'hood. And all those gorgeous dogwoods!!!
Mary Catherine 😂👍💪🏻
Son of the Beech 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love your videos ❤

Another tshirt idea!
Adorable
You and your hubby are so cute.
Makes me totally want to be married.
I'm terrible at bows!! Thanks for the CSA information! This is my first year expanding so maybe I'll do that next year. Hope my flower farm journey turns out as good as yours!!
I will conquer the bows! 🎀

Love your foraging! Sounds like you are going to have great new year with your CSA. Great job!
Thank you, Cheri! 💐
@FlowerHillFarm Nicole, I know this is an older video, but I just have to say this color hoodie makes your eyes glow, they are always pretty but wow! The color is so complimentary to you. Such a doll and so fun to watch at the same time great info for a new flower grower!
I love the evergreen and especially the fir wax melts and air freshener year round. Thanks
👍🥰🌲
I found your channel a couple of days ago(😍) and I can’t stop watching your videos in my spare time! I definitely feel empowered to grow and sell more this year! Thank you!!! 💓
Awesome! 👏 Thank you! 💐
Dried gomphrena would make it look like little ornaments
I hear ya about being a people pleaser, I'm 62 and wanta say...get in line. A friend said I'm old enough now I shouldn't care about saying no. You have some really good ideas. Looking forward to watching your basement fill up with flowers to plant.
Thank you Wende!
Those flowers are so lovely I do believe you have a beautiful Green Thumb continue your journey Don't Stop it appears that God has something very special for you
Thank you so much
Just watched your foraging expedition which I plan on doing tomorrow SE WI zone 5
Also made “sauce” yesterday to make Happy 70th Birthday lasagna dinner for my husband- his favorite!!
Love your videos❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy and Happy Birthday to the hubby!
6 Minutes! Congratulations! Love your channel and your energy.
Thank you!
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your wealth of information 🖤
So perfect ❤️❤️
💐👍🥰
I wish I had an ounce of your energy! Love your videos!
Thank you! 💐
If it doesn't work out with the store again, you could still have a pickup location outside.
True- it’s all about time saving though. I don’t have the time to wait for the customers to pick them up and through experience there are always people who don’t make their time slot or are running behind, which would mean I couldn’t move on to my next task while I wait for them- the store would give them a broader time table for pickup since most of my customers work during the day. Something will work out!
@@FlowerHillFarm Here is where I get stuck, what if one week everyone wants a bouquet and you do not have enough to fill those orders, how would that be handled?
And can you share what is fair to give a store or boutique to be used as a place for pick up?
Thank you.. I really appreciate your transparency along with being so down to earth!
New here, starting a CSA farm myself in Canada, and thanks for the great videos, they are really helpful and fun to watch. Now, one suggestion and someone might have said so here, but how about doing a prior registration a few days before for the customers that were with you the last season? I think that is a common practice in CSA to make sure you keep and cherish the customers that help you grow along the way.
Congrats on being a sell out! The best kind of sell out, lol
😂💐 Thanks!
"Sons of beeches" lol I love how goofy you are!
Great video! I'm using same pinecones for my art project and sometimes( well, not always, but in my area often) they do have little bugs, so the safest way to use or storage them in house is by firstly putting them to the stove for a few minutes on low temperature, then they are dry, light and safe :)
Awesome thanks!
That is so awesome about your CSA 👏👏👏👏👏. I love your hat ❤️❤️❤️ did you make that one too ?
Sure did! Thanks 💐
Love your 💐spirit 💐💐
Thank you 💐
Got to do video catch up while planning my cut flower garden. Just a small tip if you find the sap hard to get off. Use mayonnaise. No idea why it works but it seems to. Just apply like soap and wash💝🇨🇦
Thank you so much! I'll definitely try that out next time.
I will definitely use your tips for CSAs this spring! Thanks!
Thanks Taryn!
Here's a tip for your greens. Get some Wilt Stop from Amazon. It's an anti-transpirant which helps keep the greens fresh for a longer period of time. You're welcome. LOL
Good to know! Thanks 🌲
Oh goodness, eggplant parmigiana is my favorite 💕💕💕
It's so good!
Thank you for another entertaining video.
Anytime!💐
Happy early birthday 🥰
Oh hey- thanks!
Nice arrangement, amazing upload
Thanks! 💐
Great video ..u are so lucky we are knee deep in snow here can't find my gardens for the snow and I still have bulbs coming in the mail lol
Oh wow! We usually have a bit of snow by now-- such a strange year-- I also have bulbs coming! Yikes!
@@FlowerHillFarm I have dutch iris and crown imperials coming and my ground is frozen so I don't know what am going to do with them
Thank you . This is helping so much!
Stopped half way thru the vid to say I like how you've split up the CSA, boy oh boy, limiting them to 10 slots must've been soooo hard!!!
I get it tho.
And just as you were saying maybe the next year you'll split it into 3 time "zones" I was thinking that very same thing.
I'm pretty sure you could get away with putting all the Spring bulbs into their own category too. That way, there's a clear cut-off line for that 1st Zone of bouquets.
The Spring Bouquet Zone
The Spring Bulb Zone
(not sure WHY I feel the need to call them Zones!! But I do.)
Then:
The Spring Flower Zone
Oh! The Wildflower Zone!
(You know I'd be all over that one!)
Then The Summer Zone
And
The Late Summer Zone
hmmmmm...
Seems I've just made it very complicated with so many categories...
Oh - then there's the Fall Zone
Where you sell all the colors of Fall... !
AND THE WINTER ZONE !!!!!!!!
Where you decorate my house with Boughs of Holly n stuff,
n stuff, n MORE stuff!!!
Wait, how did you get into my house... ?
Well, no matter, if YOU want to treck down to Texas to decorate MY house I certainly am not going to stop you!!!
I look forward to it!
You're welcome anytime!!!
Ok, Brad Pitt just showed up, (he's so cute!) I'm gunna go finish our visit together!
Ciao Doll 🎄☃️❤
OMG! M & M's last for AGES!!!
I mean, they're self-enclosed-little-bits-of-
chocolate-goodness...
right?
To quote "the past" -
They melt in your mouth, NOT in your hands!
And the chocolate protects any peanuts, so there's THAT.
(again, I protest a missing emoji: the M&M. ...sigh...)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I adore your comments. Thank you! I am SO excited to see the peony patch take off because I think I could ALSO do JUST a peony CSA. So many ideas.
Thank you for making this video 🙂 happy early new year!
Happy new year!
Wow congrats!!
Thank you so much 😀
Enjoyed your video. You’re quite entertaining!!
Thank you 💐
A friend of mine has winter berry and sells it to florist in the winter, maybe you should look into it, it’s beautiful!
I wish I was in your area, I'm down in St. Louis! I would love a CSA and to check out your flower farm. I don't have a yard near large enough to do what you do but would love to learn more about how to grow my own cut flowers. I put together a list of all the flower books you recommend for xmas so we'll see! You two make me smile, love your personality.
Maybe one day!
I love you💚❤💜🤩😍😘
Hi Maria! 💐
Oh poor will! 🤣
Maybe Brad can plant some trees and sell them during Christmas y'all can have a small Christmas tree farm
Great idea! We planted 100 of them this spring but plan to add a couple hundred more. Eventually they will be Christmas sized!
Great video! Love your Hoosier! :)
Thank you! It is a 1920s model- I love it!
Good video
Thanks
Sons of beeches!! Dying laughing! Lol
Thanks for the video. How do you keep track of what needs to be done and when (fertilizing, succession planting, spring to do list, etc) Happy (early) Birthday!! I remembered yours because it is the day after mine :)
Fertilizer Friday! I have a notebook with all the succession dates and THANK YOU! Happy Birthday to you too 🎉💐🎂
Hey, are you still considering ' winterizing' the logo?? I only ask because autoplay started an old video and the pastels reminded me.
Ps I miss fangirling
Sure am! I've been waiting for SNOW!
Hi
I see you got your notifications working again 😂💐
Thank you so much for sharing this information! I LOVE your idea of a bouquet bar too and I’m wondering when you did your CSA did you have pre-made bouquets or was it like the bar where they could create their own? Also, did you know in advance who was coming that weekend? I think you said you communicated weekly? Maybe not...
You are a wonderful inspiration ☺️🌸
Lauren
I offered the bouquet bar as an option to my CSA members- they got to decide. I knew by Thursday evening what everyone was getting.
@@FlowerHillFarm oh! So they told u ahead of time what they wanted...smart 🙂 thanks!
Have you thought of other sizes of csa's to help you space out your season.
I have- eventually I’d like to do a peony CSA and a sunflower CSA in addition to the normal ones. At any time during the season anyone can order flowers without being in a CSA as well!
Thank you so much for your videos! I was wondering, do you have a walk-in cooler to keep flowers fresh for customers and csa members? if not, what is your process from harvest to market? Much love from a new flower farmer.
Your so funny...
Thank you, Nanda!
This CSA idea is so interesting. How do you decide the value of a bouquet? At $20 each, are you worried about making sure they might be perceived as not worth the cost?
There have been weeks where I worried if i had enough but it always ended up ok. I learned quickly the value of the stems and always make sure to overstuff my CSA customers and add extra when I can. They are my priority and always get first choice of blooms!
@@FlowerHillFarm from what we saw of those same bouquets you made last year, they were always WELL WORTH THE PRICE you charged!
So no worries there!
They were beautiful 💐💐💐
Do you supply vases with your CSA or pre-made flower bouquets?
Nope- I tend to be more of a no waste person- I use a rubberband and even that bothers me 😂
What do you charge for a CSA subscription and what do your customers get? How many bouquets and worth how much?
I apologize. I just found your answer down below
What plant identification app do you use? Mine is always wrong 😩
Mine is called Plant Net. It is usually correct with lots of pictures and info-
@@FlowerHillFarm thanks!
What is your price for csa membership and how many bouquets?
$100 for 5 bouquets.
Did you get a business license before you started growing and before you sold in farmer's market or CSA?
Yes
"SURE" 😂 a man of few words is much more attractive than a man that is a chatterbox 🤭😋🤣
That’s true!
Approximately how many stems do you put in a $20 bouquet? I know it depends on the flower as well, some are more expensive than others, but on average? TIA (Good Video).
It truly depends on what I’m harvesting! Spring bouquets are loaded with at least a dozen tulips/narcissus - the rest of the year they’ll be more. I’d say at least 15.
The word ' foraging' just kind of freaks me out .... not sure why ? 🤔
I don’t know! 😂💐
@@FlowerHillFarm maybe it just reminds me of the word 'hoarding' , and when I watch a hoarding show I feel so sad for anyone with that problem 😣
That could be!
Do you have to be apart of/pay into the CSA group yourself in order to sell/advertising with the association?
No. This is my own CSA from flowers that I grow all on my own property. I own the CSA. The members are part of my group. It is not part of a larger network. Hope that explains 💐😀
Where are you located?
Upstate New York
Thanks💐
Whoever said "No one likes a shady beech" Obviously never saw your sons of beeches. Sorry not sorry.
Lyla for the win!
