Show Notes
Daniel is a great fan of learning on-line from workshops and courses.
Be sure to take the information from a workshop and apply it to your climate and adjust for your growing needs.
Social Media is a great tool to connect with your community and it opened up the shipping avenue for his business.
Showing your face on social media helps establish a connection with your clients and encourages strong relationships with your customers.
Connecting with flower farmers in your area is a great way to network with other growers. By working together, you create an environment to openly discuss pricing, helping one another, and being able to address issues within your farming community.
Make it easy for your customers to purchase your products. With todays technology there are so many options, making purchasing complicated can turn away customers.
Perennials are great way to fill in the gaps of the growing season.
