I Stay Up Till 4am For THIS (Worth It!!)

We have been working hard and selling lots of flower bouquets down at the farmers market so far this year, but this week we want to sell even more. This is the peak of the Ranunculus production, plus other flowers like Snapdragons, Peonies, and Feverfew are coming online for us. There are so many bouquets this week that we have a chance to break our record for best farmers market ever! This is our 4th year farming, and every year the business has grown, but by next year we need to be profitable, so our sales numbers need to continue to grow to new heights. Will we break our all time farmers market sales record of $1580 by bringing a massive amount of rainbow Ranunculus bouquets, and beautiful $40 arrangements? You have to watch to find out. If you made it this far into the writeup, how about giving a like to our video, it really helps us out!

Hooray!!!! I remember when you were selling $10 bouquets and debating going to $20. And now you’re selling out $40 bouquets 💐 Thanks for taking us on the journey 🥰

[@CaribouOrange]

If i were local, I'd buy the heck out of those 40$ bouquets. They're so good

[@TheEmbrio]

Congrats ! But Yikes i’m a broken record but a knee high table to have the flowers show more than the buckets and paper would be great. Here’s an idea, you could use your green metal pull wagon, it would look authentic etc. I’m in architecture and interior design, so your’e getting premium free design consulting right there ;) Also the door to the roadside stand could be red, keeping with your name, and lettering of your logo on the fence could be bolder. I’d put greenery or colourful fake bouquet of flowers (waxed paper to be eco friendly ? Fabric ?) You gotta catch attention, of course tastefully.

[@amaiaamaiaa]

oo I had the same idea about a shorter table in front, but the wagon is a great idea!

[@tammywellsgarcia2377]

Even the ground, use what’s available, I agree about showing the flowers 💐 rather the paper & buckets.

[@Dahliawoman]

Yes add a low shelf!

[@aerialwebster9785]

I am inordinately invested in what time Serena goes to bed! Lol! I am so happy for you guys! Beautiful flowers and beautiful people selling them!!!!😊😊

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Lol, sometimes when I stay up too late, I laugh thinking about exactly this

[@amaiaamaiaa]

I think for visual purposes it would be helpful to have a tier lower than the table at the farmers market, like a bench or something. So that people can see the beautiful flowers from above!! there are folding benches on amazon that look exactly like your folding tables but bench height

[@julijajd]

I was thinking the same! Totally agree. 3 tier stad will be even more colorful and vibrant as you will see bouques lower - where colors will be seen further away from the stand. And even at the stand (telling as a short person).

[@elenaduicu5584]

I agree! The table should look like a stair so customers can see in the top of flowers!

[@g.christelbecker6349]

I was thinking the same. All tiers downward. Imagine being able to look down onto all that ravishing beauty!!!

[@ButterflyBox89]

I agree with this, a lot of florists in the U.K. have lower tables/benches so you can see as you approach

[@WalktheLake]

Yes agree, and I know red roof is your theme, but I wondered if the red tint from your pop up kind of mutes the beautiful flower colors? I wonder if a more neutral pop up might allow the flower colors to show up better?

[@coloradotulips]

Gorgeous! If you also did bouquets that were “mixed cool” vs “mixed hot” colors, in addition to the full rainbow, I think I’d have to get three bouquets just to see what I like best!. 💐 😀

[@NYMusic89563]

You should start a volunteer based class on fridays where you teach others to make bouquets. They get to take one home and you get all your bouquets made for the market.

[@nickles4652]

How wonderful! I'm so happy for your successful week. Also glad to see Serena feeling better. 💖

[@kele1264]

Incredible! Those rainbow ranunculus bouquets are the bomb! I like white too, they are stunning. Congratulations on smashing your sales record! You worked hard for it, so good for you!

[@MsChucklebunny]

I've never felt so happy and excited cheering on those sales numbers!! All your hardwork is blossoming into cold hard cash💛💛💛

[@phaedragardeness]

So cool you guys figured out pretty fast that the general public love bright bouquets. We see a lot of soft pastels all over social media but it’s mostly wedding work! What an awesome outcome this market!

[@katrienvh4289]

Perhaps a silly question, but isn't it possible to put shelving in the cooler? So you can get more buckets in? Nice bouquets !

[@daintyflygirl4va]

That will help them store a lot.They should consider that

[@benspatoisgarden5982]

They need vertical stand too. A lean-to so the bouquets can be dsiplayed

[@TheGiddyGardener]

I asked that same question a few weeks ago - she said they don’t need shelving now but might consider in the future!

[@Thingys-Jill]

Just adding a narrow folding table would work!

[@leahbergevin2196]

First time I’ve ever commented on KZbin but I just have to say a huuuge Congrats! You both have 1,000% earned these wins!!! Rooting you on for further celebration.🎉

[@lydiamclaughlin7100]

Congrats on the 3300 week! Wow! Fantastic!

[@sarahr6571]

I've got a deep envy for Serina's Veggie coveralls. Also, rainbow ranunculus!!!

[@shammydammy2610]

Ditto. I love them

[@linpekngulom6611]

You guys really do work really hard. Congratulations on the top selling market and I'm supporting you guys by watching all the adds 😃

[@Sunny14136]

Wow! Love watching these start-to-finish videos. We can enjoy the satisfaction of the fruits (flowers) of your labor vicariously.

[@adunn5173]

I’m so happy for you guys. Your hard work is paying off. Plus your flowers are gorgeous! God Bless your family.

[@jaded2306]

Soooo happy for you! You deserve it after all the work you put into this! Your flowers are always beautiful! A little marketing hint if you wish too. Would be to get a large ink stamp of your logo for your paper wrap. People would see the stamp when others are walking around the market with flowers. Also it’s too cute of a logo to not put it everywhere 😂 best wishes to do even better next week 💐

[@carimitchell6138]

Your bouquets this week were gorgeous!!! Congratulations! That had to be one of the best feelings!!

[@jenamann3484]

Team flowers!!!🌷🌸💮🏵️🌻🌼🌿💐💐💐

[@MarkDemarest]

#RIDONCULOUS! 🤯 Huge CONGRATULATIONS 🤑 to The Whole Family!! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 #BigInspiration 💪🏼

[@jacksonwoodburne]

Flowers = Happiness

[@kellykilfeather]

That’s fantastic how on track you are with your business forecast... even more so considering that you switched up your business only this year to focus on flowers. Well done

[@honeymarshmello]

Omg the handmade cards too!❤ so cute.

[@pinoygoldandsilverjewelrie9534]

Thank you for a very lovely Sunday morning surprise. Love lots from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@rebeccawatson9284]

Great for you guys! Hard work pays off!

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

Congrats Serena and Ian! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[@joycejames4879]

Wow! Very well done!! Am so pleased to see all your hard work starting to pay off and the bouquets still look stunning! Pleased to see you feeling better Serina x

[@arnorrian1]

You really need a multitiered stand for the market. It would make the flowers much more visible.

[@rbud57]

Yes, the bright colors are pretty stunning - big attention grabbers - BUT! I personally LOVE the dark burgundy ranunculus - that bouquet at about 20:15 with all burgundy ones and the tiny pink and white flowers, with the buds hovering above it all, and the delicate greenery... Beautiful! 🥰❤

[@jamieackinclose2236]

Serena your bouquets are fabulous! You are such an inspiration to me! Try to get enough sleep. It's so important. I'm a nurse and know what the "shift work" can do, so please take care of yourself.😊☀️

[@kdonaldson7308]

Have you thought of setting your display up as a 'U' at the market, it would allow you to move around the center to serve people, but would still allow customers time and room to look over everything and make a decision... I personally hate stalls where I am waiting for others in front of me, cannot see all the goods and then once you are being served to have to make instant decisions... just a thought!

[@aquafishcspeia2921]

Such a great idea! Although there might be size constraints. Would be awesome if it could work though!

[@jenn6838]

Stoked for you guys! amazing how just selling flowers (at least at market) is doing better than flowers & veggies.

[@devinwilson3141]

Congratulations!!! What an exciting experience

[@lisapearson6528]

So excited for you guys on your success this week! Can't wait to watch you have one week of success after another this summer.

[@tracymarsh9142]

I’m so happy for you guys! Love all of it! Including the cards. ❤️

[@ericaallen2756]

anybody else scream in utter terror as the bouquet was dropped!? 🤣😂🤣😂 anybody else SUPER proud of this family and their progress!?!? 😃 thanks for taking us along. so fun to watch. WE ARE ROOTING FOR Y'ALL!

[@karronlaneNOLA]

yes to shock at the drop!

[@zerowastehomestead2518]

yes!!! can't believe they were dropped :(

[@glenelkenfarm5577]

I was still traumatised seeing it laying on the ground while they were chatting lol

[@karronlaneNOLA]

obviously the fleurs are hardier than we give them credit for

[@DenSvaraTradgarden]

Yeah, I think I heard the flowers go “Nooooooooooo!” (thump)

[@MicheleLHarvey]

I notice you guys have to wheel flowers around a lot. Considering the extra steps, is there any way you could make an opening doorway from your workroom directly into or opposite your refrigerator unit? It should be a direct line from field to refrigerator to cutting room/bouquet workshop with as few steps between as possible. Just a thought. And CONGRATULATIONS on your sales! Wishing you all continued success.

[@AlexAlex-gj4jd]

I was thinking the same thing when Ian was filling the truck before market. It seemed like the truck was parked farther away than it could be and every step counts!!

[@spareparted]

Congratulations on the awesome sales week! 💐🌻🌺🌷🌼🌸🌾🎉‼️

[@cynthiarigdon4157]

Your flowers are beautiful 😍

[@НатальяЛыгачева]

Я так рада за вас, что ваше дело получается лучше и лучше, это - чудесно! вы - большие молодцы! с удовольствием смотрю ваши репортажи-видео. удачи, удачи и удачи!

[@jennioldham22]

So glad for you both such a lot of hard work good on you both

[@clivewright5437]

Well Done Guys, Your commitment to the farm, abilities to change is paying off Love and Rainbows

[@Fatimasroots]

Wow I’m so happy for your success!!! Soo happy, thank you for sharing your recipe to success💛

[@vickieginn7503]

Things are looking good! I’ve been watching y’all’s channel since b4 you moved to your farm I believe and it’s really good to see the progress y’all have made. You deserve it! With all the hard work you do, I’m not surprised at how well things are going. Congratulations!! 🌻🌼🌸🌺

[@plaisirdelanglais]

WOOOOOOOOW! Massive congratulations!!!! Finally all the systems put in place are really paying off on regular basis.

[@michelleadams2997]

Wow! Love your bouquets Serena, they’re fantastic!

[@mylittletropicgardenflorid9877]

Congratulations 🌸🌼👩🏼‍🌾🧑🏼‍🌾💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼 Well done and well deserved! It’s so wonderful seeing the evolution of your beautiful farm ,business growth, and work ethic! You both have learned so much (so have we), in the 4 years of full time gardening! I am so happy for you!

[@dangit9439]

So beautiful flowers, thanks for sharing your video

[@rochio88]

Everything looks amazing!! Have you thought about lowering the shelves a bit more at the market? From up front, it seems like the buckets take up a lot of the visual space. If the shelves were a bit lower, people would have more chance at seeing the bouquets directly.

[@kellykilfeather]

I love the dark purple ranunculus... especially in the rainbow bouquets. They offset the pink really well and make the brighter colours pop. I think they’d be missed if they weren’t in those bouquets

[@JulieLewin]

Congratulations 🎊 in hitting an epic week total.

[@zarahsgarden2097]

"How about that!" Proudly holding a handful of bolted greens after chucking the flowers on the table 😂

[@roxananunez4238]

Your flowers are so so beautiful 💐🌺🌸

Hello from Northeastern Kentucky. Congratulations on your success, I'm so excited for you.

[@felybuera9742]

Congratulations on your progress. I have been watching your journey from the Phil. since the pandemic.

[@carlydillon6926]

Congratulations on your biggest sales! Love your videos and farm. You guys are such an inspiration! I'm a big fan of yours, down in southern Oregon!

[@jamescotie7535]

Awesome job guys! I'm not at all surprised with the success of your road side stand, ours has been fantastic for us these past several years and people look forward to it opening each year. You guys are my favorite channel on you tube and I eagerly await the next video, nice to see that flowers sell so well and at a price point that veggies can't match as well as veggies being much more labour and time consuming. So happy for your families success!! Thanks for your hard work from us here in Cape Breton!

[@jackelinesalazarabad8043]

Congratulations!!! Really happy for you, you deserve it 👏 🥳🥳

[@amberlockhart1386]

That’s called polychromatic in floristry (the rainbow bouquet) . They look so awesome! 😍

[@amortada17]

Always love the 🌺🌹 bouquets

[@bettea360]

I am on team veggies but the switch to only flowers was the way to go.

[@missrubygem]

I love the rainbow bouquets! I feel like if you added a filler that has little white (like those little daisy looking stems) would REALLY make the colors pop!

[@melissamiew4056]

You guys are doing amazing. I hope you guys thrive on for many many years to come.

[@jonibowen7367]

I’m so proud of y’all! Your flowers make the world a more beautiful place🌸🌺🌹🌷

[@robiahyusof1506]

Fabulous flowers I agree and hardship is put in.I suggest you drive a gator when you pick your flowers instead of dragging your trolley because the farm is quite large, save time and energy. Also you need pathways in order to use a gator

[@countrysidelife5483]

Congrats guys, hard works paid off

[@imaginecastles]

Hard work + creativity+ great product = jackpot! Congratulations on your new best and exceeding your goal.

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

Awesome week! Congratulations 🎊

[@dewbedew26]

I like your channel because you’re so honest and showed every aspect of a floral business. I quit my job 3 years ago and started selling African violets. My experience is very similar to yours and I couldn’t believe that I am making more money than my previous jobs. The more rare varieties of flowers I get, the more money I make. I am truly happy for you!

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

Hello from PEI. Today is the first day that we can plant a garden.

So happy for you.

[@scotatl2]

Woohoo!!! Congratulations.

[@kareharpies]

Looks like you guys are putting down compost in front of the farmstand for a garden 🤩! That will certainly attract new customers. Would be cool if it was all red flowers to go with the red roof name and contrast the white fence and blue door (red dwarf Japanese maples, red roses, red heucheras, red coleus, reddish sunflowers, red tulips etc.).

[@potocatepetl]

Congrats! I love the 2-3 coloured bouquets, especially white-dark red (the rainbow ones are too much for my retina :D, but I am happy your customers like them). The current season is my favourite one, it includes the best flowers in my opinion. Although, I am excited for lisianthus as well. And congrats on getting help! Sometime that is the most difficult thing to do.

[@lauragibson4452]

What an amazing week you guys!! Your hard work and risk taking are paying off. Congratulations!!

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

This market and the farm stand have succeeded sales goals and justified the transition to a focus on flowers. In addition to extraordinary hard work growing the garden, your analysis of prior year's sales is key to this year's sales. Live long and prosper!

[@atlantadragonfly]

CONGRATULATIONS!

[@maritzarivera1301]

Congratulations and even more sales in future. Praying for all of you to be healthy and happy, congrats again!

[@nothingpersonal878]

Holy shite you guys! 👍Huge fan. Wishing you continued success as Red Roof grows to new heights. Congratulations 🥳

[@growagarden54]

Your ranunculus are so beautiful. I have a suggestion. There is a booth, at our flower market that has buckets of ranunculus only, and buckets of other flower varieties. I can purchase just the flowers I love, instead of a pre-made bouquet. Maybe you can offer that option, along with your pre-made bouquets. There may be others, like me, whom prefer to make their own bouquets. Just a thought :)

[@turiaturiana7529]

Omg!!! Amazing you guys!! Massive congratulations to you both x

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

It turned out really well, we are still excited about it

[@turiaturiana7529]
