Most flower farmers don’t actually have a growing problem... they have a numbers problem, and in this episode Jenny breaks down why that distinction matters if you want to operate like a professional. She shares how tracking just a handful of core metrics can cut through decision fatigue, reduce anxiety, and replace emotional “vibes-based” choices with clear, grounded strategy. If numbers feel intimidating or tangled up with shame, this episode will help you reframe them for what they are: neutral data that gives you clarity and control.

You’ll hear the exact foundational numbers Jenny considers non-negotiable (revenue, expenses, and true profit), plus what to track next as your farm matures: like profitability by sales outlet, by product, and crop yields for smarter planning. By the end, you’ll have a quick 20-minute action step to look back at last season, find your baseline, and start using your numbers to make growth more predictable and less stressful.

Nikki Bartley didn't wait for perfect land access, a perfect setup, or perfect timing. She started selling mason jar arrangements out of her front yard and built Cross Street Flower Farm into a thriving New England cut flower business by leasing seven acres on town owned farmland, then designing a business model that keeps customers coming back all season long. In this episode, we dig into how Nikki built a retail barn shop that runs like a boutique flower destination, why her CSA evolved as her grab and go sales grew, and how she uses events like tulip and dahlia cut your own to turn the farm into a place families plan their weekends around.

If you're trying to grow a sustainable flower farm business without owning land, you'll love Nikki’s practical takeaways on diversifying sales channels, building community based marketing that actually works, and setting up inventory in a way that reduces waste and increases profit.

2025 was a year that tested every part of running a flower farm business. In this episode, Jenny shares the real lessons that shaped her season, from profitable crop trials and smarter delegation to building systems that support sustainable farm business growth. She talks honestly about tracking numbers, focusing on what already works, and why leadership, marketing, and sales should never fall on one person alone.

Along the way, she reminds flower farmers why diversification, resilience, and reflection matter just as much as production, and why laughter is sometimes the only option when animals escape, gates get left open, and possums show up where they definitely should not be. This episode is a reminder to audit your year, learn from it, and move into the next season clearer, steadier, and more supported.
