In this episode, I share how I grew from imagining sunflower fields for grocery stores to growing a range of flowers and creating a community through my farm stand. I'll give you practical advice on starting and running a successful farm stand, which includes having a walk-in refrigerator and 24/7 operation.

I’ll also talk about the reality of being a parent in the digital age, getting kids involved in gardening, and how farm stands can teach young entrepreneurs. No matter if you're an experienced gardener or want to start flower farming, this episode will give you helpful information and show my dedication to building relationships and minimizing waste through local sales and community involvement.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Morning routines and the weather's impact on farming decisions

• Sales strategies and managing theft at a farm stand

• Involving children in farming to teach industriousness and reduce screen time

• Advantages of refrigerated farm stands in reducing waste and keeping produce fresh
