Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 294: Uncut Week 29 T Swift Trends, Japanese Beetle fear mongering, and F²
Q: How should growers think about pricing and understanding costs behind floral products?
Know your true costs (labor, materials, overhead) and analyze local market conditions; pricing should reflect that, not a simple rule of thumb—many factors differ by region, so start with your actual costs and work backward to determine margins.
EP 294: Uncut Week 29 T Swift Trends, Japanese Beetle fear mongering, and F²
Q: What tips do you have for electric fencing to manage deer and other critters?
Use a portable solar-powered electric fence with proper line spacing and attractants at deer hotspots; combine with netting for small areas and adjust spacing to reduce losses, while keeping the setup easy to move for seasonal changes.
EP 295: Peonies with Julie Pal - So much more than plant and forget it
Q: So Julie, if listeners are considering adding peonies to their farm, what's one thing you would want them to understand before they place that first order?
Keep in mind your eyes are bigger than your ability to handle what the reality of things are. You might dream of a big, seamless operation, but the workload, weather volatility, and physical demands mean you have to be honest about what you can sustainably manage year after year.
EP 282: Uncut Week 23 Moving, Mobility, and Growing the Flower Farm
Q: What is the best advice for a third-year flower farmer?
The hosts suggest focusing on the top revenue streams, saying no to less profitable opportunities, investing in education and consulting, and building robust systems so you can scale with more CEO-like decision-making.
EP 286: Uncut Week 25 The June Slump, Preppin' for Vacay and Keeping your Business Moving Forward
Q: How do you keep your business moving forward in slow times?
The hosts emphasize planning and cash flow management, saving and budgeting for slow periods, leveraging wholesale and standing orders, and staying engaged through strategic, lightweight content and marketing efforts that don't require heavy daily operations. They also suggest adjusting crop plans to minimize waste and focusing on high-impact activities like pre-launches for events and workshops.
