Harvesting For Our Record Highest Sales Farmers Market | Massive Flower Haul

[@NJGardengirl1961]

I hope people who don't garden or farm watch your videos so they may see the SUPER hard work it takes to bring food to market. You're the two hardest working people in Canada!

[@TheRLeske]

Serena needs a "Floral Stem Cutter" it has a long blade, you stick the whole bouquet in and quickly slice the ends even....this will prevent some issues later with overworking her fingers and hands clipping each stem separate....at our stores floral dept they have the cutters bolted to a piece of wood and sitting across a sturdy garbage can...all the stems just fall right in, no fuss... :}

[@cherigreen4471]

I wondered too, why she doesn't have one of those cutters. They look very efficient!

[@dianeromeo7579]

[@FarmerC.J.]

Yep... processed many packages of roses at the shop where I once worked. Loved that job!!!

[@lkyeoh]

Yes she has the cutter for some time now 👍👍

[@alissaeyre8302]

I know that Serina considers herself, "team veggies", but she is amazing at making bouquets! Beautiful work!

[@jeezumcrow8655]

Glad to see Serena’s smile and that she’s feeling better. Ian was a trooper to pick up all that responsibility and extra work for the last few days. Congrats to you both on your record market sales! Hooray! 👍🏻👏💗

[@howardwhitney9314]

Two years ago, after 52 years of marriage my wife had a heart attack. Darn it, I was supposed to go first. The firemen of station 5 in Tucson and the doctors at the university of Arizona operated and I have my wife back, safe and sound so I know what you are going through. God Bless you both.

[@leahsilverstein]

Bless you and your family!

[@itsmewende]

Aww, Mr Whitney I'm so happy that you and your wife can enjoy watching this channel together.

[@drewblack749]

I went through that after only 41 years of marriage. It is so scary. I am on a plant based diet as a result. Dr Caldwell Esselstyn has great videos on KZbin. God bless. P s. I am out in the garden every chance I can. Just have to keep it short and sweet because of the heat.

[@mpmitton8377]

The worry and weight of it all is all over your face Ian. We know you're taking care of Serina, the kids, the farm, & the market. Be sure to take care of yourself too! Apricots are my favorite!

[@jasminedoyle1724]

It’s amazing that the white bouquets never sell! They’re so beautiful

[@lauren-pz4ju]

I would buy them over anything else, I never see them at the grocery store florists either- so they feel special to me when I can find them at the market instead of special ordering with a real florist

[@dragonmammma]

If I lived in your area, I'd buy Serena's bouquets for sure! Nobody at my local farmer's market has anything that looks half as nice. There was one booth with bunches of sunflowers, and that's it. The two markets in my city are mainly fresh veggies, fruit, nuts, and lots of pre-made foods by local businesses.

[@yeevita]

I always thought that since I saw her flowers. Around here, the bouquets look very messy. I always end up buying 2 or 3 to arrange myself. Hers always look so balanced.

[@theglitterballlifestyle675]

I wish folk would be buying flowers here in rural ne 😭 I go every week to my market (though sometimes with just sunflowers 😭) and usually don’t sell any

[@Katy32344]

We have no flowers either and it really bugs me!

[@mominthe209]

@@theglitterballlifestyle675 they likely look at buying flowers as an unneeded indulgence. What about growing plants with beautiful flashy flowers. My mother was thrifty but she couldn’t stop herself when she saw a beautiful pot of fushcia and begonias

[@GlamourBySophia]

Same with my area! All veggies, no flowers. 😪

[@lindsaymccartney2480]

Aw Ian I love how you always look on the bright side of everything, Mr positive, you work so hard to keep everything going , well done for stepping up whilst Serena is under the weather, and those cherry's look so good

[@making.fronds]

Everyone should leave a like and comment to help these guys out, it must be really tough to keep producing content right now. You guys are amazing, an inspiration. Keep safe 💐🧡

[@NOregretsjustfun]

I love love watching serina making the bouquets 💐

[@jeanneamato8278]

Love the white bouquets. What’s wrong with people?

[@susanbossung9098]

I am so happy for you! Serina needs to take care of herself, but that goes for you too, Ian . I get more and more attached to and your family ever time I watch. This is my first year to watch your episodes, but find myself worrying about you and wishing the best for you. The love and respect you show each other and your children is refreshing. I’ve even wished I was wealthy enough to support you more than I do now. You are making an impact on the world. Love to you both.

[@nepmelia]

If air quality is orange to red highly recommend the whole family wear N95 masks when you head out/ are outside. Hopefully the air clears soon.

[@npknscrb]

Yes, yes, yes! Having experienced multiple summers socked in with wildfire smoke, lung protection is so important.

[@JessMakingArt]

Thank you for caring so much about the land you steward as well as the environment around you. The love you have for each other is so wonderful.

[@happypappy]

You all bring so much joy, smiles and laughs! But most of all you inspire me in my gardening endeavors!

[@bethhubbs9937]

I love all the positive comments from this community. How refreshing. These hardworking folks deserve every one of them.

[@miz.harrington85]

IAN you need to get yourself a golf cart to ride around that giant beautiful farm of yours! I love this channel, I hope you feel better soon!

[@blackberryhillfarm941]

Great day at the market! Well done, BOTH teams!

[@AshleeKnowsNot]

Serena those are some of the prettiest bouquets I've ever seen.

[@judithjohnson2111]

Oh those bouquets were killing me...Absolutely gorgeous. Wowie❤

[@karenbuchanan2340]

I would also recommend a mask with a good Respirator on it

[@katie110111]

the high-quality editing and filming does not go unnoticed!!

[@heathermayfield4247]

I hope Serina is feeling better - Ian you did amazingly well. Congratulations on your brilliant record sales day.

[@naturallyroyalsoaps]

Congratulations. Those arrangements were so beautiful Serena. You guys deserve every success. Thank you for sharing the hard bits and not just the wins.

[@jessicaproulx8855]

Wow! Your flower arrangements are crazy beautiful.

[@chelseap7881]

So funny, the white bouquets are my favorite! You guys work so hard - well done on the record market earnings :) very well deserved!

[@orlamartin7564]

Wishing you both and all of the communities and wildlife affected by the fires the very best and rain!

[@TIERRAYLOMBRICES]

You should dry apricots too for the fall and winter season.

[@mirandaanderson62]

And apricot leather

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

Agree! IMO One of the very best dried fruits is apricots🧡

[@erincarr9411]

And jam

[@MonicaKatie]

Glad you are doing better Serina. Congrats on surpassing your market goal. Woohoo 🎉

[@lilhemy1008]

Good morning, have a nice day and God bless everyone 🙏 ❤️ ❤️

[@aprilteesdale3146]

I had to show my husband your video because I am so proud of you hitting your goal and having a thousand dollar "PLUS" week!! Great job guys! So glad Serina is okay and that Ian got some help. I knew you could do it! I always watch to see if you got that thousand dollar week. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

[@amaiaamaiaa]

Serena I do think you are the lucky charm at the market! I think people have a soft spot for seeing families working together, especially with kids. Reminds me of the small business my parents had and seeing them work hard together. You should test and see if markets tend to do better when the family goes together 😋

[@rmclogger9856]

You make such beautiful bouquets (even when you’re not feeling well).

[@karacrawford7393]

So glad you have help! Feel better Serena!

[@leebearth56]

WOW!!!! Those apricots look luscious!!!

[@deliciasderebardille2121]

Serena, your bouquets are amazing ! So glad that you are reaching your goals. I love your videos because you show also how hard work it is to grow so many beautiful things. Keep going and dont give up

[@lindagoodwin3908]

YAY!! $1,000 day at the market!!

[@lorenhiggins8763]

Great job you guys! I think the market worked better because you both were there and able to work together, you Serena are refreshed, and of course because people missed you all those two weeks. Here's to the next 6 weeks! 🍾🎉

[@shyammohansharma8919]

You guyz are awesome. Very labourious indeed. And spreading happiness ! Thanks for making videos for us.

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

I sell dinnerplate dahlias by the stem in my roadside flower wagon ($4ea or 3/10). It's pretty much the only thing I sell July through November as my Campbell River 60x120 city property (including house) is not big enough for a wide range of product. The white ones sell like crazy in August but not before and not after. That said, a florist does like to come by and purchase them for weddings.

[@manipur9808]

Wow, the flowers ...and the veggies...love them.

[@emptychallice]

Wooo whooo! A thousand dollar market. I am very happy for you and glad to see you all well.

[@Bdillon299]

I commend you as a husband and business owner… you do what has to be done and that is remarkable. Thank you Ian and Serena for everything ! Love your videos and appreciate your efforts%. Get well soon, Serena!

[@mzabs1871]

Yay!!!! Congrats!!!!! Those white bouquets are beautiful too.

[@ChezGra]

This has become my favorite KZbin channel. I always look forward to your videos. The market one is my favorite. So beautiful flowers and veggies!!! You are very hard working people. I wish you the very best!!!! As I watch this video I am thinking:”today is Friday. They are harvesting and getting ready for another market!!” I hope you sell everything tomorrow!! Take care

[@suzannem5674]

Glad Serena is feeling better.

[@TheAngelaEvelyn]

That pink and purple bouquet! 😍😍😍

[@heatherj3030]

Why not ask your viewers if anyone would want to come help out for a little bit during this crunch time. I also watch Roots and Refuge farm, and during their move to a new state, they have a lot of help from viewers and other farming KZbin families to get theirs new place ready for them. I'm sure the KZbin homesteading community would turn out for your family as well. I wish I were a little closer so I could do that, but I'm in southern California. God bless you both!

I subscribed. Everything is beautiful. Your life itself is beautiful.

[@kathleenenglish3501]

Glad to see you feeling better Serena. The flowers are beautiful ❤️ 🏵️

I like flowers in the bathroom so the white bouquets would be perfect.

[@jenniferwolford4646]

I truly love you two and your sweet relationship! I love the way you talk about Serina and how supportive you are of her and how you recognize how hard she works! Your a good husband! I hope she's feeling better (I think she is, right?) Stupid smoke, stupid fires!! 😥

[@1958constance]

I’m so glad your feeling better. Beautiful family

[@kimjapinga6550]

Congrats on the best market ever! I don’t know what this says about me, but I always like the bouquets that don’t sell. Serina, sending positive thoughts your way. Please feel better.

[@zerowastehomestead2518]

woohooo BEST MARKET EVER !!!! There is such an array of flowers in the bouquets no wonder they sell so well :)

[@eilishwielens8620]

Being from Australia, I get that the heat can be so stressful for the body. Keep drinking water and stay in the shade where you can. And you could hose each other down. It's so great to see a husband/wife team smashing their goals together. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and my son who watches your channel daily. I've yet to get my husband on board, but I'm trying.

Your heartfelt comments about whether you could continue if the fires continue to rage and climate change make that a yearly event really moved me. I hope Serena continues to feel better but she was really suffering even when she was smiling because of her bouquets. Good luck to you both; I sincerely hope your dream can continue.

[@ramikhirfan7851]

Serena's flower bouquets are stunning, and for sure being the lucky charm at the market. Happy to know that your are getting some help. The cherry and apricots looked so yummy and you could also sell them as jam. Great footage and editing of videos 👍👍❤
