what you say about the coloured tents casting a tint onto the flowers is what I, as an interior designer tell people about their closets. Always white so that your clothes etc. showcase their true colour.
I think the dog waterer is a really great idea. Of course it’s good for the dogs but yes I can see where it would be an added benefit. Once people start they’ll actually take a good look at the beautiful flowers where otherwise they might just walk by thinking oh that’s pretty
I love it thank you so much! This can be an overwhelming thing for a beginner! My first market I had 10 bouquets one black table a chair and me. I sold out but wow with no cover it was sooo hot. I just had to see if I could do it.
So I recently found your page and I've been loving it. I'm kind of doing a mix of some veg, flowers, and ornamental fall setup (pumpkin, corn, gourds), but I just wanted to say, holy cow. This is the first time I've seen Adam without a beard. He looks totally different!
I just started following you guys this year and it took me a while to realize you were in IA. Crazy! Can't wait to see your booth at the farmers market downtown.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it JP from Miami. I’m an ex Pastry Chef but I’d like to try to open up some thing thank positive. Yes I will do it. Thank you again.
Thank you SO much for this very helpful demonstration!!❤❤ I’ll be doing my first outdoor market next month. Can you share how you keep the flowers from wilting in the heat? Also do you find the bouquets or vase arrangements do better?
This is great but the other thing you want to make sure you do is pull your tables back far enough so that if it’s raining your customer is not standing under the drip line of your tent. I can’t tell you how many times this happens to me at my local farmers market
Thank you so much for sharing this! Just the hearing about the white canopy is valuable, I have an orange color umbrella over my stand and it definitely takes away from the beautiful colors of the flowers. Oddly, didn't think about changing it, so thank you!!
Excellent Share… thank you BOTH for being wise, generous with your wisdom… humble yet confident (in what you HAVE learned over time & experience) and remain OPEN to continued learning (and never allowing your “glass to be full” (unable to ‘learn more)) One Question please… many Farmer’s Markets are 8-2 (6 hours) with (1) Staff Member working @ $15/Hour… you can guesstimate $100 in Labor… (and $20-$60 in Booth Fee…) since you seem to find value in taking (2) spaces… we can guess/assume that you have $100/Booth/Space Rental & $100 in Labor ($200 Plus Time, Effort , Energy in Bouquet Creation, Input costs, growing and transportation… plus commerce fees for Credit Card Processing, etc…) Question: WHAT IS THE Minimum Gross Dollar Amount In Farmer Market Sales that will Keep YOU coming back to THAT Market? $300? $400? $500? $1000? AND… will you return to SAME Market Weekly… OR do you give it a break… and let it breath… and return every other week? (Assuming the Market in your area is “every Wednesday & Saturday” throughout June, July & August? AND… (sorry… this is like my 3rd Question:) HOW MANY Farmer’s Markets (and WHAT Geographic Radius) will you consider… when Planning Your YEAR… now that you’ve been at it over a decade? I can only GUESS that you’re budgeting (at least) 20 FM’s annually… however you could ALSO be working up to (and more than…) 100+ Farmer Markets…??? What do you Budget (or Target GOAL) Per Hour… or Per Market in Gross Revenue? OMG… ok… one LAST question… IS there (enough) value in ancillary “exposure” for relationship building (wedding connections and conversations) and simply PR… to ALSO keep you showing up weekly… even “if” the numbers at a particular FM… are below target? Thank You SO MUCH for your time answering any of my questions… let alone… all of them! You are (by far) the MOST interesting and straight forward compelling Flower Farm Channel on CZcams!

Hi Jim, whew, that’s a lot! Ha! We only do one farmers market and it’s Saturdays only. We’re lucky that it’s one of the best farmers markets in the country with roughly 20,000 people attending weekly. It’s definitely worth it for us just for the exposure alone. We meet so many people that haven’t heard of us before and it does generate additional business. We’ve been running it ourselves until this past year where we were able to have our employees run it. Not including hours at the market, there’s a tremendous amount of labor we also have to consider in getting product to market (seeding, planting, maintaining, harvesting, and prepping product for sale.) This is a great subject for a video!
I'm so glad this popped up in my feed, I subbed and will check out your other platforms and videos. I have a small farmstead in northwest florida. I like all your ideas that you shared in this video. You mentioned only one person sets up at the farm market so I reckon the canopy must be manageable for one person to set up, can you share the brand, style, model of canopy you have? Thank you.
thank you - great stuff guys. I am trying first little farmers market in waukee this summer. how does one set up that payment/scan code sign system you have?
What are the measurements for your table display. I'm in my first year so I dont have all those different payments available will just having cash option be ok thanks for set up it really helped
Are your flowers in mason jars wrapped with paper? Or cans? That’s great idea and looks beautiful and sleep in mass! Thanks for taking the time to show us this, really helps when your starting from scratch!
That’s why Jenn liked to put the top cloth under the buckets, to keep it from blowing around. The weight of the product helps keep the cloths from blowing around.
Thank you for the video! I'm mystified by the QR code payment you mention. I would love to offer this, but If they can just scan the QR code with their phone, take the product, and go - how do you know that the customer actually paid you? Couldn't they just hold their phone as if they were scanning, but not do anything? Sorry to be suspicious, I'm just not a techie so don't quite get it. Thanks again!
You all are so generous and giving of your time & experiences to others!! Thank you 🥰💐🌻🐝
what you say about the coloured tents casting a tint onto the flowers is what I, as an interior designer tell people about their closets. Always white so that your clothes etc. showcase their true colour.
Thanx for the tip!
I'll use it soon
We are looking to participate in our first crafts fair, and I've learned some great tips here for our display. Thank you.
This is a wonderful video .. not many would take the time to do this.
I think the dog waterer is a really great idea. Of course it’s good for the dogs but yes I can see where it would be an added benefit. Once people start they’ll actually take a good look at the beautiful flowers where otherwise they might just walk by thinking oh that’s pretty
This was SO helpful!

Great tips! I’m learning so much watching you guys!
Very good point about the white canopy and what an awesome touch for the dogs! 👍🏻🐕🐾
Yes water for the dog is essinal our market I'm not sure if its a farmers market or a dog show.
So I recently found your page and I've been loving it. I'm kind of doing a mix of some veg, flowers, and ornamental fall setup (pumpkin, corn, gourds), but I just wanted to say, holy cow. This is the first time I've seen Adam without a beard. He looks totally different!
Can't wait until I get to sell cut flowers at the flea markets, I plan more than one in Florida!
I still like the way how the hmong flower farmers at pikes market set up.

Hey! The dog water bow is genius!!!
Thank you SO much for this very helpful demonstration!!❤❤
I’ll be doing my first outdoor market next month. Can you share how you keep the flowers from wilting in the heat? Also do you find the bouquets or vase arrangements do better?
Thanks - there are some really valuable nuggets of gold in this video. Much appreciated!
Great set up and LOVE the dog water station! Very smart and thoughtful!

Power team! Haha so cool! Thanks for this video

Great 👍
Wonderful video! Thanks!
This was so good to see! Thank you!
thank you - great stuff guys. I am trying first little farmers market in waukee this summer. how does one set up that payment/scan code sign system you have?
Just printed out the QR code for each payment rail on a sticker. Super simple. PayPal, Venmo, etc each have a QR code in you app tied to your acct
Great video!! Thank you!!
What are the measurements for your table display. I'm in my first year so I dont have all those different payments available will just having cash option be ok thanks for set up it really helped
They are 6' tables.
Are your flowers in mason jars wrapped with paper? Or cans? That’s great idea and looks beautiful and sleep in mass! Thanks for taking the time to show us this, really helps when your starting from scratch!
they're jars
great video thank you
Do sell each bouquets in a glass jar or take them out when bought?
Thanks for the video. Could you tell me how you are able to take so many different payment options? Do you a specific company, like Shopify?
Really helpful thank you
Question...what about when it gets windy? Won't all of your table cloths and stands fall over and blow around?
That’s why Jenn liked to put the top cloth under the buckets, to keep it from blowing around. The weight of the product helps keep the cloths from blowing around.
@@PepperHarrow ok thanks!
Where do you find black tablecloths
Excellent video! Thank you! Where do you get your floral buckets?
Recycled from local grocery stores
Thanks you guys are awesome is there a link where we can get the tablecloth and what size
I updated the description with a link. You can find them on amazon.
The 1st thing you could have shown us was how a lady puts up that tent on her own. ?
One leg at a time. But there's usually one of the other vendors who are happy to help someone that may be struggling
Very beautiful. Where do you get the black table cloths from?)))
There's a link in the description that brings you to them
Sorry if you mentioned this already, but I was wondering do you have other flower farmers in your area or at your market?
We do
Thank you for the video! I'm mystified by the QR code payment you mention. I would love to offer this, but If they can just scan the QR code with their phone, take the product, and go - how do you know that the customer actually paid you? Couldn't they just hold their phone as if they were scanning, but not do anything? Sorry to be suspicious, I'm just not a techie so don't quite get it. Thanks again!
I receive an immediate notification on my phone or they can show you their payment confirmation
❤🌹
What do you use to receive money from the customers? I assume not everyone pays with cash.
We use every form of payment. CC, PayPal, Venmo, cashapp, and even Bitcoin.
What size tent is this?
10 x 10
Who did you order through for the customized tent?
We had it made through a local company but you can order a customized one from EZup
Oh so cool that you take cryptocurrency! I've thought about doing that too!
