If you feel stuck trying to sell flowers everywhere and to everyone, this episode brings clarity fast. Jenny Marks breaks down why most flower farmers do not have a marketing problem... they have a niche problem! She walks through how to define your niche as a practical business model, not a vibe, by aligning what you grow, how you sell, and who you serve with real market demand, profitability, and the lifestyle you actually want as a farmer. This conversation covers using a simple SWOT analysis to uncover opportunities in your local flower market, choosing customers you enjoy and who are willing to pay, and designing a farm business that protects your energy and boundaries. You will learn how to test a niche without locking yourself into it forever, simplify operations, and build a more sustainable, profitable flower farm that gets easier to market and easier to run as you grow. Get the Find Your Niche worksheet: www.trademarkfarmer.com/niche Did you enjoy this episode? Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify.

Most flower farmers don’t actually have a growing problem... they have a numbers problem, and in this episode Jenny breaks down why that distinction matters if you want to operate like a professional. She shares how tracking just a handful of core metrics can cut through decision fatigue, reduce anxiety, and replace emotional “vibes-based” choices with clear, grounded strategy. If numbers feel intimidating or tangled up with shame, this episode will help you reframe them for what they are: neutral data that gives you clarity and control. You’ll hear the exact foundational numbers Jenny considers non-negotiable (revenue, expenses, and true profit), plus what to track next as your farm matures: like profitability by sales outlet, by product, and crop yields for smarter planning. By the end, you’ll have a quick 20-minute action step to look back at last season, find your baseline, and start using your numbers to make growth more predictable and less stressful.

Nikki Bartley didn't wait for perfect land access, a perfect setup, or perfect timing. She started selling mason jar arrangements out of her front yard and built Cross Street Flower Farm into a thriving New England cut flower business by leasing seven acres on town owned farmland, then designing a business model that keeps customers coming back all season long. In this episode, we dig into how Nikki built a retail barn shop that runs like a boutique flower destination, why her CSA evolved as her grab and go sales grew, and how she uses events like tulip and dahlia cut your own to turn the farm into a place families plan their weekends around. If you're trying to grow a sustainable flower farm business without owning land, you'll love Nikki’s practical takeaways on diversifying sales channels, building community based marketing that actually works, and setting up inventory in a way that reduces waste and increases profit.

2025 was a year that tested every part of running a flower farm business. In this episode, Jenny shares the real lessons that shaped her season, from profitable crop trials and smarter delegation to building systems that support sustainable farm business growth. She talks honestly about tracking numbers, focusing on what already works, and why leadership, marketing, and sales should never fall on one person alone.

This week I am chatting with Karen Kohuth of Greenhouse on Greendell in New Jersey about how she and her husband shifted from microgreens to cut flowers and grew revenue by 27 percent in one season. Karen walks through what changed on the business side of her flower farm business: niching down to one product line, using crop planning to match bouquet recipes and market demand, keeping weekly sales records, and installing simple SOPs that make harvest, bouquet making, and market prep run smoother. We also talk time blocking, training seasonal staff, and small automations like irrigation that give you back hours during peak bloom. If you are a new or growing flower farmer selling at farmers markets or through a CSA, you will love how practical and doable her steps are. Karen credits consistent record keeping and a clearer plan from the Six Figure Flower Farming program for helping her make data driven choices that increased sales and created space for real life things like a summer vacation. Listen in to hear the exact mindset shifts she made, the tools she uses to track profitability by crop, and how she decides what stays and what goes so each bed pays its way.
