I sold fewer flowers but made better decisions: 2025 reflections

After hitting five figures last year, I intentionally reduced production to rethink how I want my business to run long-term. This video walks through the Pause–Push–Pace framework I used, the tough decisions I had to make (like ripping out once-profitable perennials), and the three big questions that shaped my entire season. I break down what I learned about retail sales channels, flower subscriptions, workload pacing, and how to plan a sustainable flower farm that fits real life — family, a demanding full-time job, and the desire to actually enjoy growing. You’ll also hear what worked, what didn’t, the crops I’m cutting, the ones I’m adding (hello, roses + mums!), and how this “reset year” gave me clarity for building a profitable and realistic 2026 season. If you're planning your own 2026 flower farm or side-hustle season, this video will give you strategy, direction, and a ton of hard-earned lessons to help you build something sustainable.
