It's early September, and that means the kids are going back to school after the summer break, and that means the farmers markets tend to slow down. We don't have many more weeks left to finish the season, but lately sales have been really strong. Our last 2 markets have been our best since Mothers Day, and sales have been great from the roadside stand as well. The flowers are still in full production, so we have lots to sell. Now we just need to make it happen, it's going to be a busy week.

This was a good timing! We all needed colours this time of the year 🤗 Will you do a 'recap' video how the farm did in 2023? Greetings, Judit
I hope you guys make another "This is how much we made on CZcams 2023" video!
Needed this colour in our -40 weather over here!! ♥
Summer flowers when we're experiencing the coldest weather since the 1930s. A nice bit of sunshine 🌻 🌞 👍
The disco flower-cutting music was awesome! 🎉 great video.
Awesome to see so many beautiful bouquets when there is snow on the ground and very little sunshine. Thanks. Love it!
We all need this kind of video to make our day less depressing under this gloomy, snowy, cold winter day.
Looking out on snow, wind and -4c weather it was so nice to see beautiful flowers.
I love the apricot colour with the purple in Ian's arrangement.
your flowers are absolutely gorgeous!!! so sorry you didn't sell that many...maybe people are spending their money on school clothes and supplies...I would have bought some if I had been there, Serena does bouquets so professionally!! I would love to have a dried flower wreath. Can't wait to see your upcoming videos!! Great job both of you!!
Ian, you have great taste in bouquet arranging. Don't let anyone push you around. 💐💐💐
Perfect! We're having a cold snap and I'm sick in bed and miserable. I can't think of a better pick-me-up than to revisit some September garden glory ❤
6b, Northern Utah here. We get HOT, too! Cold, cold and hot, hot. My lizzies never stopped. Rebloom after rebloom all season long!
Such a much needed surprise!!! It’s negative temps here is Missouri and I’m dreaming of warmer weather and flowers!! 💐
Nice save for the coldest day of the year, so far. I really needed this today. Thanks Serena!
It has been snow, rain, wind, snow, rain… here for the last 2 weeks. Seeing your beautiful flowers brightens up my night. Hello from NS.
This is such a treat!
Hurray! A long-awaited video from YCETG! Happy New Year!
I love your farm! 🙌🏻❤️
Thanks for bringing beautiful flowers to this gloomy day. Love your videos
Happy New Year! Aren't you guys going to make a video on how much you made in the farm and on CZcams this year? I look forward to it yearly. Hahaha! :) I wish you all the best this year!
❤ beautiful ❤
nice success!
Yup just what I like : a splash of late summer
Been waiting for a new video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is -11 degrees Fahrenheit here in Colorado today. So nice to see all of the beautiful flowers. Made it feel a little warmer.
😊😊😊😊Those flowers are amazing 😊😊😊😊😊😊
A very welcome change from the week long heavy snows and frigid weather. Let out a sigh of happy relief when you announced the fantastic total sales for the month. I love seeing the beautiful bouquets with Ian reporting sales updates on the different colors. Started Lisianthus second sowing today. Wish I was closer to split plugs!
I think it was the total sales of the week even! ;-) 3500 a month would probalby not cary them over the winter months. I am so curious about how close they came to a 100000 yearly income this year. As a future farmer I find it so generous of them to share their income with us. This is highly valuable for me.
You guys made my day. Thank you. :)
I thought I saw a bit of panic, after Wednesday, but it became smiles. The cold Arctic air is here, hopefully you don't lose power. Soon it's seed starting and getting the plugs in. I have absolutely no idea how this year will work out. Nothing has been "normal"..
I'm not a fan of dried flowers, but the bouquets Nelly made are beautiful as are all of those fresh cut flower arrangements.
Very pretty
So nice to see the beautiful colors! Congrats! 🎉❤
So good to wake up to a new summer video in the depths of winter.
Thanks for that, it was much needed 😊
❤️💐❤️💐❤️
Thanks for the video!
Yeeeesssss!! We need color right now!! Just what we need for today's blizzard!
Such lovely bouquets as always! Love the fact that you guys made a flashback flower farmer vlog :) Watching this for the third time now ;) Aren't you doing the expensive bouquets anymore?
Thanks for the video! Hope you guys avoided all the winter break sickness that lots of people seemed to get! Best wishes for you guys for 2024!
Благодарю за видео, очень интересно!
So beautiful so much hard work, you deserve to make great money
Gorgeous as always!! Really needed this today. Brrrr... cold warnings out for us. My market also slows down when the kids go back to school. Usually, I have alot of flowers then, to top off my short season. Still trying to figure out a place for a flower stand here...not on a main road at all. I'm thinking if I have to take them to a stand location...I may as well go to market. I love your set-up there. So glad it's going well.
❤❤❤
Looking forward to this years recap of the market stall, farm stand and youtube earnings!! You guys really inspired us with our journey, and our first stand went out front a couple of days before christmas! We have our best sales day yesterday! Seeing you guys make it happen (even through the struggles) has given us inspiration to give us a crack at it too!
Have you ever cosidered upgrading your flower veriaty and changing your outsider stand into à real flower Shop?
Crambrary 😂
Ooh wonderful to see you among the flowers again! One small thing though: the music in this video is much louder than the talking so I was having kind of a hard time focusing on what you're saying.
That anis hyssop looks really useful. What variety is it?
I am always interested in how you transport the flowers in the back of the truck. How do they not get all blown around??
Please, I need my fix on YCETG videos.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
This is what I watch you for u make the most beautiful bouquets I have seen you just don't have the market why don't you sell online and you ship the bouquets I will definately order I would like to experience your bouquet in person
Why ya gotta be so mean Serena ? LOL.
Where do you order your paper from?
When the season start again would you ship me a bouquet
Question: How much do you think market sales drive roadside stand sales, and vice versa?
!
Xo xo😂 that she said no sex for you 😂☺️🥰🤣😂😋😂‼❤
Are you pregnant or getting a belly?
Hi. These videos are so exciting and entertaining and beautiful!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I had a thought, and maybe this is something you already do, but if you get all your customers to follow you on Instagram and Facebook, then if you ever have too many bouquets leftover, you could announce it to your followers and give them a discount.
I love these videos because you make it feel like we’re right there building bouquets and selling flowers. So much fun!! ❤
