Her You-Pick Flower Farm Was PROFITABLE After One Month

I visit with Renee Nelson of the Grumpy Chicken you-pick flower farm in north Idaho. Renee started her flower farm because she worked from home by herself and wanted to develop community while getting to be outdoors enjoying her flower hobby. Her business recouped all of the input costs after just one month of operation!

I thoroughly enjoyed this, I picked a lot of my zinnias and sunflowers 🌻 I found small vases at flea markets and I dropped them off on the steps of some elderly people in my area, Flowers 🌸 always bring happiness!

You pick, honor pay, flower gardens are all over Europe. Love!

I like all your flowers. I planted 400, 000 zinnias and I I also planted 6 pounds of Sunflowers. None of them sold well. People around where I live must be too lazy to pick flowers. I don't have the time to take flowers anywhere to sell to. I sold the zinnias for .05 each! I sold the sunflowers for .50 each. The only ones I sold was to a local flower shop 6 miles away. My wife likes flowers and I planted them for her. I mainly grow pumpkins. I had 10 acres of them and grew 6, 000 plus. Hand planted and hand picked. We sold them at a local Christmas Tree Farm. I'll plant my wife more flowers next year and if some sell that will be fine. I'd give some away to local nursing homes but they had such strict rules about visitors I did not do it.

I’ve managed 4 - 50 foot rows. I am amazed at your spread of beauty. Keep growing! 💛☀️🐝

We stopped at the Pack River Store for lunch last week and the prettiest bouquet from Renee was displayed on the counter. Love her farm name too!

Wonderful video. You should do a 5 min or longer ASMR tour if you ever go to a place as beautiful as that one. Just walking around up close with the camera giving a tour. With the sound of nature and what not all around. That bee basil area must have been humming. We been putting basil near the hives. This is always a blooming variety so they have food almost all year.

You have a very good camera. It makes those flowers look stunning, intricate details and vivid colors.

This is so cool! I didn't know this place existed. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[lisaporria]

Thank you for sharing her story! My goal next year is to plant a cutting flower garden for myself! This was timely and I will visit her next year.

Loved your video! Great impression! Just a tip on the chickens and sunflowers; they love dried sunflower seeds. So just let your sunflower heads dry out before feeding them.

Oh my gosh, Ferengi chickens! That’s hilarious

Enjoyed this, thanks for showcasing strong, independent entrepreneurial women! 👍🏼

Last year I grew a bunch of sunflowers and fed them to the chickens and ducks. They LOVED them! I try to grow as much veggies and grains as I can for the birds to forage. This year was a bust because I was dealing with COVID during the srping early summer plantings and now I'm dealing with Long Covid issues and the fact that our temps are still in the 100's that slows me down for fall plantings.
