I sit down with Melinda from Springdale Flower Farm, located in Dover, MA about how she found success in her 1st year of flower farming on just 800 sq ft.
Melinda is a complete new grower who started from complete scratch this year. She not only had to learn flower varieties, but also how to grow and sell her product. Impressively, she achieved all this AND found a very profitable sales outlet, with some weeks selling $1k! This is a longer interview, so here are the time stamps for various subjects:
The land & raised beds: 11:39
Profitable sales outlet: 34:14
Negotiating better terms: 46:55
Bartering for more flowers: 49:45
Failures with other outlets: 53:20
Cold calling: 1:03:00
Did you know that for every 1 minute in an interview, it takes me about 3 minutes to edit? Interviews are the most timeconsuming type of video to edit for me, but I do it because I feel there are so many gems in these conversations. Want to support me to be able to record more interviews?
